I believe the correct thing for me to say here is darn tootin. I also believe the beretta compared to the glock is like comparing a ferrari to a yugo.

I also think they are garbage.

You consider a gun that is pure perfection when it comes to functionality and dependability as "garbage"?

Look... It's REAL simple...

The OP didn't say he wanted something "pretty" to look at. He wants good, solid, dependable defense weapon.

The Glock is light, tough, super dependable, and designed to last through MILLIONS of rounds, with only basic maintenance.

Used by more police and military than any other single pistol.

Garbage??

Hardly.

I still think they are garbage, and I am a vet who has fired almost everything ever made, in many countries.

Especially for a new shooter. Beretta fits like a glove, Glock feels like it is a trigger connected to A shoe.

I am curious, and no offense here, are you a cop?

Also, which militaries use them en masse, and I'm not talking about only elite units, but Armies?

So you think "elite units" make bad choices in firearms?

Anyhoooo... Do some research. Google is your friend.

well, at least Google USED to be your friend. Or at least PRETENDED to be your friend... lol.


Excerpt from Wiki in reference to Glock:

"commanding 65% of the market share of handguns for United States law enforcement agencies, as well as supplying numerous national armed forces, security agencies, and law enforcement agencies in 48 countries.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10132438


Elite units can select firearms based on personal preference, that does not extend to glock, I guarantee that.
Elite units know exactly what weapon is the best for the job.

I have never seen a NATO army that issues Glock as the standard sidearm, but I have seen lots of law enforcement use them.With the exception of some smaller Euro forces.

In my experience, the majority of law enforcement agents, regardless of the agency they work for, are far from "experts" on firearms.Not to say all, but a lot.They are lucky if hey don't shoot themselves in the foot when trying to pass their yearly qualification ( for the second or third try).Also the politicians purchase the pistols, not the people using them.We all know how smart they are.

You are a cop.

Glock sucks

lol
