Appreciate you are loyal to a GLOCK, and for SF that is well and good. But for average everyday dumbazzes they are getting in now, it is my opinion a striker fired weapon is not a good idea.


The Glock probably isn't the best solution for big Army. Some sort of striker-fired pistol is the best option, IMO. Maybe something yet to come.

Bill Rodgers has watched tons of brass hit the ground at his range over the last 30yr. He says Glocks and now S&W M&P's are the best thing going. The XD's and the Sigs are more reliable than a 1911 but fall far short of the two plastic guns. Don't discount the Sig 250, it may be the dark horse here, and it is truly MODULAR.
