The consensus is that you either love a Glock, or hate it. There is no middle ground.

I've fired a few. I don't care for them. The ones I've used felt like I was going to break them just by holding it.

Wow, makes me want to give it a go to see what I think.

I'm going to have to see if one of my friends owns one that I can
try at the range.

I'm not a gun expert, just a small caliber plinker. I have fired a
few 45's and 9mils but don't own one (yet).

I mostly shoot .22lr as the ammo wont eat my wallet. My kid got a
Beretta M9 .22 clone and a Mauser M1911 .22 clone. He left them
with me to try, but I haven't had a chance to give them a try yet.

I am not a Glock fan. There's nothing wrong with them mechanically. I'm not
a fan of the grip angle. Most pistols I can draw and through muscle memory
assume a sight picture easily. With a Glock if I were to close my eyes,
point it, then open my eyes, I'd have to do more adjustment with the sights.

At a dealer event I had a chance to sample some higher end pistols with nicer
sights and triggers. I tried a $2400 Salient Arms Glock and couldn't shoot
it much better than plain factory Glock. I tried an STI (Staccato) 2011
framed pistol and it was a tack driver at 50 yards. I'm really liking the
Walther PPQ.
