[deleted stuff about the Glock]

I was recently thumbing through some firearms magazine in a supermarket, and
noticed a review of the Glock. It was being tested by, I believe, some French
military force (and was later selected by them). One of the criteria was no
more than 10 failures in 10,000 rounds. The Glock failed *once*. According
to the article, the Glock beat the others "hands down, no contest" in *all*
other categories, also. I personally don't like the Glock grip; it feels too
fat. I'm also concerned about its lighter weight. Does this affect sight
recovery?
