Howdy.
Long story short I love handguns. So damn much. The HK45C is my sweet tits good time pal but the glock 17 is the kinda gun that both insane gun nuts that are too far gone to care (howdy) or people that don't like or shoot guns much, like and enjoy.
-
Holds a bunch of commie cures.
-
Easy to shoot. (Low bore axis, easy and repeatable trigger pull, good sight pic, good grip).
-
Dead stupid reliability.
-
Mechanical simplicity.
What the fuck? I like the sig p320, shot a few but the glock is a better gat honestly.
Fucking thing is the best bedside table gun ever with a streamlight tlr-1 hl and a 21 rd mag.
There are a number of police departments that issued the 92 because that's what the military used. They figured the military already did all the proof testing and if it was good enough for them. Others go with the "FBI uses Glock therefore..." as to why the Glock became as popular as it has. I look for a number of departments to pick the Sig P320/M17 line up as issued guns in the next decade for the same reasons.
TX DPS seems to issue 320's already, I've seen several holstered with the stendo mags loaded
