A definate yeah!. I own a glock 23 that I use as my CCW gun. It is extremely durable and is as accurate as I would want for my carry gun. I also have a few 1911's (kimber, springfield) which are more accurate when shooting targets but the glock is in my mind a perfect fit for my needs when I carry.

I shoot the Glock 17 9mm and I've never had a problem with it. I installed Hogue rubber grips which improved the grip a lot. I really wanted a Kimber, but couldn't get the 9mm in California, so I bought the Glock and love it.

Just make sure it fits you. Glock's are very good guns. However, i found the grip angle was not comfortable for me. I ended up buying a Springfield XD for $100 less and it is all the gun that the glock is and more.
most importantly, again, make sure it fits your hand and you are comfortable with it. I have seen too many people who wanted a "brand" over what actually fit them. a .22 revolver is better for defense if you can shot it well.

All the Glocks I've owned have been super reliable. There tough as nails and proven in sand, mud and snow. But they do require good safety skills. If you screw up and pull that trigger, there's no manual safety to protect you from you own stupidity.

We have a few officers that have the same problem James B. We issue the 23 to most officers but a couple kept pinching their hands when speed loading. (Blade of hand was between the magazine and magazine well.) Gave them 22's and no more problems.
