I don't respect Glock's at all for a lot of reasons either. That doesn't make me a moron.

And as far as innovation goes, most of us recognize that polymer frames can be OK, striker fire systems can be effective, and we aren't just gen 3 "fan boys" (boy I hate that phrase!) or Luddites just because we don't like Glocks .

The Walther PPS is a great gun that is polymer/striker, and the M&P beats a Glock hands down for ergonomics.

Give me an FNP or FNX, or an H&K if it's going to be a polymer framed gun, and I'd be very happy. Not a Glock.

For really great, all around fine guns though, it's very hard to beat a 3rd generation S&W or a Sig, with a metal frame.
