I've never owned a Glock but I do own a S&W 40VE Sigma stainless steel. It's a good gun for the money. I had a issue with one of the magazines and sent it to S&W. They sent me a brand new magazine. I got a good deal on a H&K USP 40 and that is twice the gun the S&W is. One thing about it, there is probably more law enforcement officers carrying Glocks so that should say something.
