I've got a 17 & a 21. The 21 (.45acp) is my issued duty gun. For their intended purpose & function, there is nothing better.
Best,
Charles

Glock 27/357sig range report
Took the Glock to the range yesterday and tried out the ported .357sig barrel. I have to say, I’m impressed. It was a very smooth shooting gun, not much muzzle flip at all with the porting. There weren’t any issues using the .40 mags. The thing ate ammo like a fat kid at the buffet. Accuracy was better than I could shoot. At 15 yards I ended up with a ragged 3 inch hole with a few fliers that were definitely my fault. Muzzle and port blast was impressive. I’d love to see what it looks like at night. I’m even considering putting it in my EDC rotation if I can find a decent holster. I was thinking of an Alien Gear IWB if I could modify it for the longer barrel.

I'm a revolver fan but like me some other guns also...including Glocks of which I have a few.
My two favorites are a 27 and a 26...carry one or the other more than often.

I'll never understand the "too ugly" comments. I mean, if that was a condition none of us would be married.

Not too proud to admit that I own a grand total of ONE (1) Glock.
A very used LE trade Gen 2 G19. With a total of 3 magazines, it's the near-perfect truck gun.
I know for a fact that it, like all Glocks, work all the time.
I hold all the attachment to it as I would a good Estwing hammer.
As easily replaced as a truck tire. I figure $260 well spent.

I have a couple of old Estwings that I wouldn’t give up before I’d give up the Glock, but they belonged to my Dad.

Recently sold my 9mm Glock 17 Gen.4 and bought my first Beretta.
It is a model 92FS 9mm. It is all steel, unlike a Glock.
In my eyes, it's head and shoulders above a Glock in the looks dept.
That said, I also just bought a Glock 17 Gen.3 with the less-aggressive molded grips
to see if I like it more than the Gen.4.

Just as much as I like my '65 Riviera, I like my guns with hammers. None of that fancy new stuff, no compromise.
I like my guns with hammers too, but I LOVE my '65 Riviera more than ANY gun I own! Love to see some pics of yours as well!

I have a Glock now that I bought about 6 months ago. The round it shoots peaked my curiosity more than the gun itself. It's a Model 40 10mm 6" barrel. I've always been interested in the 10mm ballistics but not autoloaders at all.
As much as I've spent loading and casting for the 10mm I just can't seem to like the gun. I need more time with it but I'm not sure it'll ever get a chance at this point. I really need to find a 610

Of course you mean all metal. As it is not all steel.

I now have two. A piecemeal G26 that I started with, and I recently acquired a glock 17L. The balance on the 17L is amazing.
I inherited a revolver bias from my grandfather, who really hated the plastic fantastics. But if he had still been alive when I got my G26, and seen how cheap, simple, and durable they were, I do believe that he might have liked them.

What brand of see-thru mags?
I once own a Glock 30. It was well designed and engineered, very accurate and reliable, and the softest shooting 45 auto I have ever fired. It was everything a quality gun should be, except for being plastic, and IMO, aesthetically lacking. Shoot what you like, and like what you shoot.

The see through mags in my photo are ETS mags. Not a big deal for the G26, but since I live in a ban state, the G17 10round ETS mags are half the price of a OEM mag.
Theres only a few things I don't like about a Glock, the plastic sights, blockiness makes it frustrating to conceal, grip angle, and lack of a thumb safety are the main things. Aside from that its fine gun and I've shot several and I was quite accurate with them all so I don't know why people would dislike them. As far as pretty guns go, nowadays there really aren't any black/plastic guns that are attractive at all including rifles and shotguns.
To me, the S&W M&P full size and the 4.25" versions are the best looking polymer pistols.
I don't usually go for colors but I like the FDE/Black versions and recently saw a Ghost Gray/Black that was even better looking.
When they come in .45 and I have the extra cash.....
