You believe that disagreeing = hate?
Nope, not at all. There are many disagreements in this thread, which leads to good, honest debate.
On the other hand, there are a lot of insults and name calling as well.

Other companies are making better polymer guns than Glock. Sure Glocks are good, but the new knockoffs have some really good features.
I carry a glock 23 everyday more than comfortably. I never worry that it won't fire when needed, nor do I worry about getting the safety off if I need it. There is a reason why 75% of law enforcement agencies across the country trust their lives to glocks....
They do. It's an sp2022 and similar polymer framed Sigs. New about $450. I had one...wasn't impressed.
Sigma is definitely a Glock copy.
Actually they did. What they did was market to the police force, of which I would say half the officers in this country are not "gun people." Prior to Glock, many semi-autos had switches and trigger pulls where the first pull was longer and heavier than subsequent pulls. Glock simplified things: Once you chamber a round, you pull the trigger, the gun fires. No "cocked and locked", no having to make sure a level is pushed one way or another, etc.. Not only that, with Glock, every trigger pull is always the same.
To some folks, none of this is "revolutionary," but it really was. It was a new way of thinking when it came to firearms. Many other rightly followed and the constant trigger pull is so popular, that a few semi-autos with exposed hammers come available in models where every trigger pull is the same. Maybe Glock wasn't the first in these things, I am not sure when they were founded, when they originally thought up this idea, etc.. They may have thought it up first, but someone else took the idea to market first. What I do know is that Sigma was the first firearm to try to mimic Glock. They failed horribly. S&W went back to the drawing board and appears to have done it right with the M&P. The HS2000 is also similar to a Glock, and it appears that I. M. Metal and Springfield got this gun right.
I wouldn't say everyone copied Glock, as the trigger concept is the same as on a revolver. It just appears that Glock took that concept, applied it to a semi-auto pistol, and they discovered something that people like. Others have now picked up on it and are designing similar pistols.
Not only that, the other companies likely caused Glock to start including light rails and finger groves. I still can't believe that Glock hasn't went back to the drawing board with removable grip pieces. I also think Glock has a slight problem with relying too much on human force to get their guns to fire 100%. The idea of limp wristing shouldn't be an issue...with any gun. If you can limp wrist an XD or M&P and cause the to jam, they have problems too. In my believe, the components of a semi-auto handgun should be such that regardless of what is holding or not holding the grip, if the trigger is pulled and the gun fired, the gun should be able to cycle, even if it is spinning after firing.
I have several thousand rounds through a _____ and I have never had a failure to feed or eject. I have put a variety of ammo though it and never (At least to this point) had any issues. They are accurate and most of all durable. I agree with the fact that you can find parts (pins, springs, etc) readily available and relatively cheap. The ______ are only comprised of XX parts. This makes them simple to shoot, clean, upgrade and maintain. make sure and let us know what you think if you go ______!

If I said things, I should have not I apologize. I just get sick of all the Glock is the best crap. I mean I have to hear the same crap at work, about how Chevy is the best truck. It gets old.[/COLOR]
You guys should seriously let this stuff just die. . . . .
Did YOU off ALL the people on INGO just accuse someone else of "constant thread jacks"? Are f*****g kidding me?
I generally only respond in Glock threads and rarely have much to say in threads regarding other handguns whereas the majority of your posts are in Glock threads.
What a joke...
and of course you last sentence really has no relevance to me as I've already stated the XDm and M&P's are better choices for a little more money...
I just don't see what you have at stake in these threads King, other that merely trying to get under people's skins for you own pleasure.
Agreed.
XDs rule!
oops.
