One of the ugliest guns in the world, that always works. And quite accurate for a gun with loose tolerance. Because of those virtues, I now hold a different level of appreciation for their beauty...
Congrats, I just can't deal with the grip angle on my fiancees to ever own one myself. I'm a bigger fan of the 1911/xd grip angle. You'll be hard pressed to win any "pretty gun awards" but when the guy next to you is stove piping and FTF'ing then you'll not care one bit.
You will not be sorry with the Glock. I have owned quite a few pistols and the Glocks give me less trouble than most. They are very simple to get going but they do have a rather long trigger pull. This is when you are used to a single action like the 1911.
I've always been a 1911 guy. Just got my first glock (G23) last week. Now, I'm looking on getting another one. Probably a G26. It's a simple beauty yet I think the trigger pull can be improved. Are there any common solutions for the trigger?
