Price was probably a factor too.Glocks were easier to transition to from a revolver, no safety to manipulate….point and click.
Unfortunately transitioning from a 12# DA pull weight to the original Glock trigger pull weight led to negligent discharges. Also using a holster that isn't compatible with a Glock can be a disaster. Glocks are a good pistol. Glock pricing and marketing led to the Glock being everywhere overnight.
