So many Glock's. Which is your favorite

[Excalibur]

The Glock really is an everyman gun. It's simple, easy to take down and shoot, no external safeties to worry about. Point and shoot.

He/She also listed hobbies as making homemade weapons...make sense since that country won't allow you to have REAL weapons

I refer to the Glock, and not necessarily derisively so, as the lowest common denominator of service automatics.

And that's not really an insult

It's not intended to be. It's like the Ford Crown Vic of duty guns.

It's really heavy, old, and needs to be replaced but everyone just loves it?

Wouldn't it be more like the Honda Civic of pistols? Simple, reliable, no frills, and plentiful?

So does that make the 1911 the Ford Mustang?

That works too, I was going with Crown Vic to continue the police analogy.

It's simple, reliable, inexpensive, and everybody can drive it.

Your higher end service pistol, Beretta and H&Ks, and 1911s would be lik the old Ford Interceptors I suppose.
