If you can do like Rammer did and find a shop with a Range that will let you shoot a few different models, it sure helps. For me the 45 ACP is my cup of tea but for those who the Glock fits and works well for, it's a fine weapon. For me it's hard to shoot Glocks along with other guns because the trigger is so different. I also can't get over the fact that they have no manual safty. I have tried and have had every Model of Glock made except the Baby Glocks which my big hands just can't handle. Ballistic wise they are as close to dead ringers as you can get.
