- Two major reasons. One, people mistrust, or even fear, change, and
- a Glock is a very different pistol. Of course, some people love
- change for its own sake, and would love a Glock even if it shot
- ping-pong balls.
-
- Two, many people judge firearms by their sex appeal, which I find
- as sensible as judging dates by safety and ballistics. Some people
- are into black rubber; some are into black plastic. These
- proclivities _may_ be mutually exclusive.
-
- Note that neither of the above criteria has anything to do with
- the Glock's usability as a pistol. While I've never fired one,
- people I trust indicate that, _if you like it_, the Glock is a
- very fine pistol.
-
- I hope this helps.
