I have owned a lot of 9mm's and I believe that the Glock 17 is truly the best. 100% reliability, accuracy, and it's 1/2 the price of a Sig or HK.
I agree with you completely. The 17 is the best and the 19 follows as a very close 'second place' to the 17.
Add to this the fact that parts are easily and inexpensively obtainable for the Glock and can be replaced with little effort whereas other makes (like the SA XD's, S&W's etc.) cannot be so inexpensively/easily maintained. If the other manufacturers could match the outstanding durability as well as the serviceability of the Glock platform, I might consider owning them, but not until then.
Excellent, long-term durability, simple operation, inexpensive and uncomplicated maintenance and parts make the Glock the most cost-effective pistol to be had. Guess that's why they are such a strong performer in the police service weapon market.
