A Glock is a tool. It is built to work and does its job very well. I appreciate the ones I own for that. I just can't fall in love with them the way I would a model 66 or 6906.
Yes, they are...in a much better direction. I had three Kimber 1911s, and had problems with all of them. Kimber was absolutely no help, either. I'll never own another. They are pretty, but if you want a gun that works, you need to buy another brand.
