Got the same feeling as Puddle Pirate:
"I am a machinist, a gun frame made of microwave safe material offends me."
Glocks are ugly. Glock design is very good.
Pistol seems to be reliable and easy
to use. It's light in weight. Trigger is too heavy for target shooting. Glock is cheap to make - molded polymer frame cost is probably only 1/5 cost of the milled steel frame. Glock is just a "tool".
I do not hate Glocks and I have respect for
engineers who designed this pretty good
and cost-effective pistol. But I'm no pussy
to pay $400+ for a gun which should be
reasonably priced at no more $200-225,
consdiring its cost of production. Same goes for HK USP9. It's just that I do not see
these pistols as a good deal at the current prices.
