I Bought a Glock, But Not the T-Shirt
I always hate the “which is best” arguments. Glocks are good. I would never argue that. I’m old fashioned in my prefrences. I like hammers,safetys etc’ I would like to point out however, that a major selling point for Glock is price. They were always cheaper than Sigs & H&Ks, and S$W prior to the M&P couldn’t really compete in quality. And Beretta M92s are BIG. Today a Glock is 1/2 the price of the Sigs and H&Ks. And Sigs polymers don’t seem to be able to compete with Glock or the M&P. A major factor in organizational purchases, price. I believe the success of the S&W M&P is that it is close or equal to the Glock in preformance, is actually cheaper, and is made in the US of A. However, Glocks will be around a long long time. (A PS: I don’t like the Glock finger grooves. I preferred the old grip).
