As a combat pistol, the Glock is outstanding. They are incredibly reliable and incredibly durable. Most of the problems I've seen with Glocks come from people attempting to "improve" them.
They are not pretty guns nor are they intended to be pretty (although their reliability and durability does make them extremely attractive but only in a practical manner).
There's a lot of misinformation out there concerning the Glock platform. When you get beyond the bias, they are solid guns.
