Glocks are more common in places that get cold. They are an excellent weapon that continues to function under extreme climate circumstances. However, every department that has made the change has had a significant increase in AD's. When New York switched to them, they had to send them all back and requested the trigger spring rate be increased, thus the term "New York Trigger." For my taste they shoot way to easily with no real "safety." Of course we know the only real safety on a weapon is the person holding it. As a rangemaster I see some people coming through who really should be just issued a steak knife and a shield. I had a deputy who complained to me that her weapon "was broke." I took it in hand, pressed checked it, activated the slide and fired it. She said, "What did you do?" I told her, "I chambered a round." Apparently she thought that once you put the magazine in, the weapon was loaded and therefore should fire.
