Glock is a not-so-handsome soulless piece of plastic. It looks like all its brothers and sisters. You won't ever see a badass movie hero posing with one (unless he's supposed to be some poor joe schmoe cop caught up in the wrong place at the wrong time). You won't see custom carved grips with Spartan Greek, eerie Bible verses, or ponies on them (for obvious reasons).
Purchasing a Glock is like buying a washing machine, a blender, or maybe an air compressor. As long as they work...who cares. They don't have to be pretty, just functional.
It might sounds like I'm bashing Glock, but I'm a fan. Everyday I leave the house with my G36. It's light, it was inexpensive, it doesn't require frequent oiling, it can get wet, it can get dirty, and scuffing it up only makes it more "mine".
There are much, much prettier guns out there, though.
