The glock is a tool, plain and simple. It's like a trusty old hammer and about as glamourous. What it does it does well, accurate, reliable, and in the states, cheap. What the aren't is terribly ergonomic to most. It's the one gun that if I owned would just get tossed in the corner when I'm not using it. No attraction at all, just a tool, and not a nice one, sort of a sears bargin craftsman thing. I've shot several now, and other then watching the vid of the joker in the states shooting himself in the leg during a classroom presentation they just leave me cold. But like I said, its a good enough tool, and you can get a pile of parts to try to make the trigger decent, if it turns your crank go for it. I'll stick with my XD, and if I was buying another 9 it would be either the M&P (very nice in the hand, accurate too) or a steyr. (haven't shot one of these but I'd like too)
