I've never understood why the Glock in particular gets singled out for being plain or otherwise ugly when there are far less aesthetically pleasing polymer framed pistols such as the H&K VP9, Springfield XD, Beretta APX, Walther PPX, Ruger American 9, Styr M, the list goes on.
Personally, I'll take the simple appearance and straight lines of the Glock over all the other firearms trying so hard to look tactical yet come out looking like chocolate bars with all their pointless little grooves cut into everything.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for utility, but I don't need my pistol to double as an ice scraper for windshields or a cheese grater. Frankly, I'd rather they save on the cost of machining by omitting those worthless grooves everywhere, then pass that savings on to me.
