I actually disliked Glocks myself before a local top level IDPA guy told me that if I was serious about starting to compete in IDPA that in his opinion, Glock was the only way to go. Took about 1000 rounds, but suddenly it felt perfectly natural to me. I own several different types of guns including a lever Marlin .44 and a Ruger Blackhawk .44 mag (see Higgins, I like metal/wood too
). But having been in the Army many years ago, I also had to have a plastic AR after the ban was lifted (just because) and my daily CCW is now a tiny pocket sized "plastic" .380 TCP. The nice thing IMO with the plastic Glock, the plastic AR15 and the plastic TCP is that I do not fret over using them often without cleaning or worrying about rust or dented wood or scratched/worn bluing. They are truly utilitarian and can be used as the tools that they are without regard.
All my blued guns are cleaned/oil before storing, the modern plastic stuff.... after using I just toss them in a drawer, briefcase, gunrack etc and forget about it.
If I ever get into centerfire bullseye shooting, no doubt I will end up with another sweet triggered 1911, but the new plastic stuff serves a purpose.
