What???? Glock didn't invent polygonal rifling? Polymer? Trigger safeties? Striker fired mechanism? etc....etc.....
Kind of like this rectangle with rounded corners I'm typing from... LOL

I generally dislike it when anyone tries to get around someone else's patents.
Loose tolerances were on purpose, and they improve reliability with crappy amunition such as tula that sometimes has light loads.I dislike the loose fit of the slide to frame to barrel. I dislike the trigger feel. I dislike the general appearance.

And loosley fitted guns such as the M&P line of pistols don't have any problems either. I never said that the performance center autos had any issues. Don't put words into my mouth.Did you read and understand what I wrote about clearances and reliability? Tightly fitted guns, such as S&W Performance Center automatics do not have reliability issues. Have you ever seen one? They are fitted so tight you almost need a magnifying glass to see where the frame ends and the slide begins.

The reason the combat handguns like the Glocks, M&P's, H&K's are made with such loose tolerances, are for COMBAT reliability... you know, when sand and crap gets in the gun.
It's just that M&P's are the loosest of the loose. Do you understand that?

So the tightest Glock has 0.005" clearance, while one random M&P has 0.007-0.011". Doesn't sound like "nowhere near" to me.
And that's frame to slide clearance that has no impact on accuracy.
They are the best shooting pistols I've ever had.
