Some people cant get over the trigger, understandable. Some people dont like the grip, again, thats a personal thing, pretty understandable. Some people dont think theyre "pretty" enough...dont quite know what to say about that, I'm more into function than flash, but still a valid argument I guess. Others just want to bash them to justify their $1000+ handguns that do (almost) everything the Glock will do
Seriously, I used to dislike them back in the '80's, I didn't like the action. Then I was convinced after actually shooting one, and I bought a G17 and mastered the trigger. Now my G21 is my favorite. It's reliable, accurate (3-7" groups at 7 yards? People, alcohol and guns dont mix!), light, has a higher-capacity magazine (and those magazines are plentiful- just bought two 15rnd 10mm mags) for its size than other guns, and is very versatile. I shoot .45ACP, .45 Super, and now I shoot 10mm with a barrel and mag swap. Next on my list is a .400 Cor-bon barrel.
