I disagree that it is worthless, as Willie Lowman said it has its purpose. Its not an SMG and not meant to be used like one. As a personal defense weapon I see where it could be very usefull.
I have never shot one but I've seen plenty of videos. The later model one with the ported barrel appears to be very controllable.
Best Glock ever? not sure about that, IIRC its is pretty much the same as any other Glock minus the FA selector switch.
IF I had the choice to have any Glock I wanted, it would be the Glock 18. I think if the BATF came up to just about anyone and said "Hey, we're gonna let you have what ever glock you want just this one time" I bet everyone would pick the Glock 18, even if it was just because they could actually buy any other model but the 18 is pretty much off limits. Would that qaulify it as the best? maybe...
I dont think it was designed to be concealed with that magazine....
Maybe you just aren't very good with the gun because you only rented it and shot it once? Thats a pretty absolute statement, and if it were true then why is there a market for them or any other machine pistol?
It's purpose, like most any handgun IS close up firepower. In the kind of situation in which you would need a Glock 18 you're probably not going to be able to get well aimed shots off, the auto function would give you the speed to possibly neutralize multiple assailants, or if you did need well placed shots just dont put it on FA, then you have a full size 9mm pistol like any other.
The gun isn't made to be a medium machine gun people, with all the discussion about what gun is best for what that goes on here how do so many people not see that this gun like all others have specific purposes, this one is suited as a personal defense weapon....jeeeezzzz...

It's just impractical. Definitely not easy to conceal a pistol with a 33 round mag sticking out of it.

I've shot a Glock 18. It was not the least bit controllable. The full auto feature serves no purpose.

You can't miss fast enough, and with the G18, unless you need some up close firepower, a full auto pistol without a butt stock seems impractical. Fire superiority is not achieved just by placing rounds down range, but is achieved by placing effective rounds down range
