All kidding aside, Tim, I've shot an awful lot of different Glocks over the years. I've never shot one I didn't immediately like. They are certainly a very "shootable" gun, with great ergos and controls. I wish I could get past the "plastic gun" thing, but I suppose I'm too old of a dog to learn that new trick. Hell, I only embraced the 1911 because of its historical significance - I still don't really like them. I just don't like autoloaders. No more than a personal preference, really.

That said, my day to day out and about gun is now a Kimber Ultra Compact. It's just so damn small, and flat, and light. That in itself was a huge step for me. I used to carry (and sometimes still do) a Charter Arms Bulldog in .44 Special or a 4 1/2" Peacemaker (which is actually a surprisingly small, easy to carry gun). Maybe someday as I keep inching down this path, the "plastic" Glock won't still offend me so.
