What's all the fuss with these glocks??
Great marketing, relatively new concept of plastic frames (not the first), cheap initial pricing, ugly as sin, Jack Anderson got all fired up over them being the terrorist weapon of choice, Colts had to be tweaked back then-Glocks were "perfect", more rounds than a revolver, S&W Semi Auto's were pricey and heavy, new, new, new (back in the 80's), no external safety, homely, simple, 2 initial cartridges Americans loved in various sized models - later added a couple three more, gangbangers love them-rap about them and shoot them sideways, no hammer bite, spongey trigger w/ short reset, easy to tear down, cute (thats a relative term) little ones for 10 rd. carry, long barrelled ones for I don't know what, rails for attaching I don't know what or why, strange packaging, Jeff Cooper hated them, wasn't made in America, funny name, a selective fire version in family that few own or want to but would like to shoot sometime in their life at least once, plastic holster, built-in finger-grooves to love or hate, S&W got caught with their pants down copying one, got a cousin thats a shovel and another thats a cheap knife (maybe a can-opener in the family line as well but we don't talk about that side of the family), fun to put down in useless internet threads, fun to defend them if you own no other handguns, usually goes bang when you pull the trigger, bullet usually follows the front sight, which might break off now and then as opposed to flying off like the 1911's staked on sights tend to do now and then, to target, interesting double speak for non-recall factory recall, special discount for LE Agencies, cheap to manufacture...
and thats about it, really.
But not worth fussing about that I can see. Just a gun. YMMV
