I really don't have anything against Glocks, but the way they were marketed to law enforcement agencies/departments caused the death of a lot of metal framed autos, not just Smith. The 3rd gen pistols were/are very reliable, just heavy. I can understand how many cops try to carry the least amount of weight as possible. To this day I believe that Smith was caught off guard by what Glock was willing to do to get their foot in the door.
IMO, the best looking pistols ever made are 3rd gen Smiths and SIG's classic line. The 1911 series comes in 3rd. YMMV
