HEADS UP! Glock on CBS' Sunday Morning

Interesting. I expected it to be some sort of anti gun story, but it's actually just straight up journalism about the Glock's popularity.
 
Synopsis:
Glocks are very popular. Glock management doesn't want to talk to us [CBS/MSM]. :rolleyes: Glocks are issued by law enforcement departments to their officers. Glocks have been used in crimes.

Not sure I see the point of the article beyond stating the obvious.
 
It actually was a well presented segment, with very little bias. The only thing they made look bad were the American manufacturers who missed the boat on reliability and ease of operation. Their opinion not mine.
 
They also spent a lot of the segment showing how Glock has become Hollywood's favorite gun. Movies, when referring to a gun, will use Glock as a generic term for handgun. Nowadays the characters will say, "I fired my Glock" and almost never say, "I fired my Ruger" (or Taurus, etc). It's fantastic free marketing for the company.
I thought it was a good segment and illustrated just how Glock became the world's favorite handgun. It is a remarkable story considering the relatively short history of the company.
 
Thanks for the link to the transcript RamItOne.

I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of anti-gun rhetoric especially from CBS. This is what they are supposed to do but so often...well everybody here knows what they usually do. Maybe there's an up surge in common sense going on...I can hope can't I.
 
Wasn't it CBS that reported on the government gun running debacle into Mexico, that helped motivate the Congressional hearings about it?
