I've owned a Taurus, and a Glock. I sold the Taurus many years ago. I still own the Glock G19.

My "G" once belonged to a Snohomish County (in the great north"wet") sherriff's deputy. She used it as a back up to her G17 (before they switched to the .40). My dad bought it from her and used it as his back up when he was working on armored cars. By the time that I got a hold of it, we estimate there had been around 15k rounds through it (Kate and my dad were ALWAYS at the range).

I've put a few thousand through it myself over the last ten years (I don't get to the range near as often as they did). I have fed it just about everything, from hand loads to factory loads, FMJ ball to truncated lead (I know, I always follow up with a few rounds of FMJ to help clean the grooves), and various hollow points. I pull the trigger, and it goes bang. It reminds me a lot of gravity: it just works.

How safe is the G-Lock with it's puny little trigger safety? Hoot in Blackhawk Down put it best, "[holding up his index finger] Well, this is my safety, sir."
