In esthetics and comfort in the hand, perhaps, but not better in any other sense. As for the sights, the plastic ones are place holders. You're supposed to pick the sights you want and install them.


TRH, You aren't "supposed" to pick the sights you want, it is a necessity. Gaston didn't design that into the gun for that purpose. Plastic sights are cheap and fit the concept. End user be damned. Which drives the price up even more for the knowledgeable shooter. Ignoring and cherry picking doesn't make the Glock negatives go away. It does shed light on a lack of experience and objectivity of the person banging the drum. I'm not anti Glock, I still own a G19 and a G20. I've carried the G22 professionally for years and shot a lot of government supplied ammo through it. I shoot Glock guns very well. With that said, they aren't magical machines that never malfunction or break. In today's gun world they aren't special in any particular way. There are lots of options on the market as good and in some respects better than Glock.

Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
