I dunno about this.......some of the guys I have met at the border have been pretty surly...not sure I want them to be able to shoot me if I get lippy with them :)

Hey, whatever happened to Dudley Dooright?

He married Nell Fenwick, and had a son named Canuck. :rofl: (By the way...it's Do-Right...not Dooright...just in case you want to know) ;)

I wonder if Dark Helmet is the offspring of Snidely Whiplash? :lol:

"O!"

Yeah, I'd rather have a Block... er... Glock than that thing.

I would too, at least when you throw a Glock at someone's head it may actually hurt a little bit.

:unsure:

(actually firing a Glock at someone however is on a par with that thing on my scale of things I'd rather not have to use to shoot at someone with)

I like the ergonomics of the Glock, I just think it looks like a 2x2 with a handle sticking out of its side. I've fired Glocks in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 ACP, all of them absorbed recoil very well, even the tiny sub-compact in 40, and handled nicely. They don't feel quite as nice as a 1911 or CZ-75, but pretty close.

I've had more misfires, failures to fire, failures to eject, etc. with Glocks than all the other pistols I've fired in my entire life combined it seems like. And it wasn't just one bad gun, it was several different ones. The only Glock that I ever had zero issues with at all was a friend's .40 compact. But seeing as how he's a Pittsburgh police officer, it was his BUG and the gun had been gone over by a police armorer I expected it to work and it did. He had the chamber polished, the feed ramp redone, you name it. If you have to spend the cost of the pistol to begin with on the pistol again just to make sure it's 100% good to go...well yeah.

They may be good weapons for other people, but I just do not like them at all.

CZ-75s are nice, I really like the Jericho which is pretty much a licensed and modified model made in Israel, you can get them with a very nice polymer frame too now. 1911s of course are really, really nice, but they can run you the price of a kindey transplant anymore for a good one.
