I'm also a confirmed Glock fan. Although I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on TV, I do appreciate the straightforward simplicity and unwavering reliability of the Glock. You point it in the desired direction, pull the trigger, it goes bang, you end up with a hole in something in the direction you pointed it. Over and over and over again.

I also dig the Glock story. Gaston Glock NEVER produced a gun of any kind prior to the Glock 17. He wanted a military manufacturing contract, though, and brought together some of the world's best experts to design a totally new handgun that would meet the specs. He won the contract, and hasn't looked back since. The company has continued to innovate and expand their product lines to become one of the premiere handgun manufacturers in the world.

Not bad for a company that made shovels, eh?

I have a soft spot in my heart for the Glock for another reason ... see, on our first date, my boyfriend, well, instead of showing up with a heart-shaped box of candy and some flowers ... well, he brought me a Glock.
