There's lots of buzz today among the 2nd Amendment / gun rights crowd about ABC's Nightline segment last Friday about the rise in popularity of Glock handguns in America. If you can get beyond the obvious gun control bias, it's actually interesting.
I've never cared for Glocks, personally. I've never purchased or fired one. I've looked at them a few times because of their popularity among citizens and law enforcement but it's never felt quite right in my hand and I think they're bulkier than something I'd like to carry. It's important when purchasing a firearm to get one that fits and is comfortable to shoot. That's one reason why borrowing from friends and renting firearms at shooting ranges is important. With new gun control proposals, those temporary transfers could require costly background checks. There's another reason to oppose so-called "universal background checks".
What do you think of the Glock vs. other handgun designs?
