Trigger pull for the first shot is very heavy. After that it is fine, and it's quite accurate.
If it's an only gun, and you get used to it, it would be a good bang for your buck.
But it's not a Glock copy.

I don't shoot large amounts, but in a wheel gun , it would not be stainless, I see more problems with 686, than 586, or what ever brand it may be. Love my 19, but I don't shoot mags in it., My best shooting is with that.
, But combat, 1911, 92, sig, should have kept my sig 225. But you may as well have big mags , if that is what you carry, P220 is also 8 rounds
I can see a Glock if you carry, and have a C8 or whatever. Weight wise.
Love 1911, but heavy, same with the revolvers. 6 rounds and bulky, Never got into HP thou the kids trained on them

Look harder, Glock has been the go to for most of US SOCOM for over a decade. The SEALs being the last to officially adopt them. Delta was running Glock 22 and 23's long before most figured out polymer framed striker fired guns were the heat.

Delicacy and fragility... that's what they're known for.
That's why they're the choice of militaries the whole world 'round.
Hmmm - I have a Smith Model 66 that I bought new in '82 with about 150K through it and nothing has broken yet... ST6 issued them when they were first being stood up, it wasn't about durability that they were DX'd it was about capacity. GIGN still issues the MR73...
2 thumbs up for those old glorious 66s. Too bad,the 4" was made prohibited for .25".Another great fed rule. 65s were a nice plain Jane version too!
Look at the trigger. What makes a Glock a Glock, is the Safe Action Trigger system. Take down is different, too.
Well, my Walther P1 (with an aluminum alloy frame) was manufactured in February 1977 for the Bundeswehr. I have no idea how many shots it had through the pipe before I purchased it a few years ago. I've already shot 2,200 rounds since the purchase date and it is running like a champ. I can hardly see any wear on it.
Apparently, you're wrong.
2,200 rounds in a few years? Is that a typo, or is that all you shot?
If the previous owners were like you, that’s not enough shooting to wear most any gun.
The previous owners were the soldiers from the Bundeswehr. The P1 was phased out in 2004. So my P1 served the German soldiers for about 27 years. I've shot about 700 rounds per year. So, assuming at the best scenario that they shot the same number of rounds per year that would make about 19,000 rounds through the pipe. My assumption is not likely plausible and it was, most likely, many more rounds shot even assuming that the pistol spent a part of those 27 years in a storage. This way or the other, you are still wrong. An aluminum alloy frame is VERY durable.
I can't speak to the most reliable ever, but I have a lowly M&P9 (first version) that's topping 60K, with minimal maintenance, and it will still put 10 into an 8 inch plate at 20 yards rapid fire, that's good enough for me.
