I've owned a glock 22, total POS.  To be fair it was an early model .40cal, just today I saw the local dealer had a model 22 sitting on his counter after a kaboom incident. Split barrel, cracked frame, etc.  It was definitely with reloaded ammo so it could have been a double charge, not really the gun's fault but I dont think others would fail as catastrophically?!

I currently own/carry a Sig P220 .45 I like it alot better than the glock I had but still prefer my M1911 every time.  There is NO situation where I'd rather carry my SIG or a Glock over my M1911.

I would however trust my SIG alot more than a glock.

In My shooting circles this is how its breaks down..
Glock Fan: watched The Fugitive. Want the cheapest pistol they can buy, while still be able to claim that so and so tactical team used the same pistol. GSSF Card carrying member but never attend a match. Own Kydex holster.
Sig Shooter: higher income executive type; carry them in Galco leather holster. Think their choice in pistol is more sophisticated. Status symbol e.g. M11 (Sig 228) vs. general issue M9 (M92FS) (might own HK P7.)
1911: Old fart period. Or some newbie who wants to appear he/she has been shooting for a while. (Dangerous combination. e.g. condition one carry)
HK¡¦er: Tactical team wannbe, who spend the big bucks. Owns tactical vest. Safariland thigh holster.
Walther Fan: watched too many 007 movies.
Beretta: watched Replacement Killer.
Smith & Wesson: Real old Fart who carried it for most of their LE life.

Beretta.

Demand perfection.

I just purchased a nice 9000S model and couldn't be happier.

LOL! [:D][pistol]

CZ-75: read to many Gunsmith cats Manga and anime.
HI-Power: someone who wants an M1911a1 with less kick.
Ruger p9: could'nt afford a Glock, but know their weapon is just as good for half the price.
TZ-75: someone who has not fired a real CZ-75 yet.
Lorcin: someone who thought it was a cool Glock looking "gat"
Llama: a pistol for those whom have never seen an actual M1911.
Makorov: an underpowered 9mm for a cheap price, for those who just wanted a "drawer gun".

Yeah, me too.  I often sit around and fantasize about what it'd be like to make half the money I make now to get shot at by some methhead in a trailer park.  It's often difficult to keep from touching myself while having these thoughts.
