The article, short as it is, covers all the pertinent reasons why Glock is a weapon for seasoned shooters. I've yet to meet a person I'd suggest own one. That includes myself as I like to handle handguns daily and some I keep chambered in the home or car and always on my person.

The original Glock that I 1st touched was in the late 70's and the trigger was what I would call an extended reach type of trigger. You had to extend your finger to get a placement and the length of the trigger pull was longer than it is today. I prefer todays models in the event I wake up to Zombies. Otherwise, I'd choose any of the other guns listed in the article.

I personally carry a Kahr K40. No safeties and simply a longer buttery trigger pull. It will not fire under stress. The Glock will fire under stress, struggles and holstering. I also carry a 4006, baby eagle, 1911 and revolvers. THey all work fine given the events expected, attire worn, distance from home etc.. A tool is a tool.

In LE circles "Glock Thigh" is a commonly used term for the numerous accidental discharges. Sample :http://seanlinnane.blogspot.com/2011/03/glock-accidental-discharge.html

Don't mean to imply they are not to be owned, they just need to be respected for their design.
