I have been lurking this board since it was launched, and it is probably the most well done I've found on the web. As to the Glock perfection - nothings perfect, but for me, Glocks come the closest.
I have owned and shot handguns fron all the major manufacturers, Colt, Ruger, Berretta, Sig etc... And I (this just me, my opinion,we all know what they are like) have found that:
1. Glocks have been the most reliable. My G-23 has over 5,000 rnds with no malfuctions.
2. They are the simplest handguns to operate. Just point and squeeze the trigger. No safety to fumble (some would claim training was the key to preventing this, but I feel why risk it) and no DA/SA trigger. Don't like those - my own preference.
3. Glocks are smooth and snag free in comparison to many other designs. I carry concealed from time to time and I appreciate the Glocks being very carry freindly.
To me a handgun is a tool of last resort for survival in a close combat situation. The Glock series fits what I look for the best. Now for fun and pride of ownership I've been eyeballing the Kimber Custom Stainless .45....
