Thanks adds credibility to your statement. If I owned stock in Glock I would be happier than a clam. If I was an American taxpayer I would be shaking my head.
As somebody else mentioned earlier, who would pick a Glock 19 over a SIG 226....nobody. I would suggest there was more into the reasoning for buying the Glock than price, accuracy or reliability. Being a cynic my guesses would include a political payoff to Germany for getting involved in Iraq to a Senators desire to support a constituent. The US Government has a reputation as being the best government money can buy.
Take Care

You SERIOUSLY think Canada is any different ?
