"Glock has engaged I some shady business practices".
As a gun company, or the family?
This seems to have somewhat become Glock vs Smith & Wesson.
As I wrote, a matter of opinion. Read Paul M. Barrett's book and decide for yourself. Or perhaps you have read it. Again, just my opinion. That opinion has little to nothing to do with the technical aspects, but the OP was much like "Glock: What comes to mind?" Several things came to mind, so I wrote them.
I don't see it as only Glock vs. S&W. That leaves out Springfield, Ruger, SIG, FN, H&K, and a bunch of others.
