Totally agree. Glocks are the AK 47 of handguns. Super tough, super reliable. Throw it in a mud hole, run over it every day with a convoy of log trucks, dig it out a year later, slosh it around in a creek a little, raise it up, pull the trigger and empty the magazine. Only reason I've never owned one is I HATE the "2 by 4" shape and feel of the grip. I bought a Springfield Armory XD .45 instead and love the grip. If Glock would ever put some ergonomics into their grips, they would finish taking over the market. But, I am left handed, since they have came out with the Gen. 5 models with the ambi. mag. and slide release in the G19, I'm about ready to get one. I must admit, perfect size 9mm.
