It's not super hard to stay relevant when every one of of your competitors produces a clone of the pistol you've been making for decades. I'll be the first to admit that since its release Glock hasn't changed much, but people keep buying them in numbers that seem to defy expectations, see the 19X. Even the last holdovers like HK and SIG that had been producing DA hammer fired pistols (LEM or DAK) as an alternative to Glocks for a long time finally joined. And the reality is it is good they did. Without the VP9, HK USA had very low sales and the P320 has given SIG the biggest contract in history. At their core those pistols are striker fired, polymer framed, Browning tilting barrel designs that feed from a detachable magazine, which should sound familiar. Yes Glock didn't win the Army contract and yes other companies have gained some LE contracts, but Glock still has the FBI and a number of departments, and that combined with civilian sales is how they've survived this whole time. I get that people like other designs and I can see why, but to say Glock is no longer relevant is to ignore reality.
