If you close one eye and kinda turn your head it looks a little like a Valentines heart too. ❤️

It would be interesting if one could speak to John Browning, and explain to him about injection molding, and see the reaction on his face.
His design is a true master piece of his day.

Man, if he only had had some plastic, he could have built a dependable gun.

I don't know. I don't see many new guns anymore but the last I knew there were five. I don't own any Gen 5 guns. If memory serves, I still own a 20 and a 21, and a 27, and a 30. I think those are all the Glocks I have. I got my first handgun 47 years ago, an old model Ruger Blackhawk, short barreled .357. Since then, I have owned several hundred handguns and shot more. I probably only have twenty or so right now, and they all shoot very well. But when I leave this office tonight a Glock will be with me and when I lay down later another Glock will be a few inches from my head, in case I need it to get to my Mossberg 590 if there is trouble. I don't care what anyone else thinks, it is a very personal choice. But in my opinion, there is no better semi auto pistol for defense that is now or has ever been made. And I still own a couple of good 1911 pistols. Nothing is perfect, but for a defensive handgun, in my opinion, Glock comes pretty close.
AND THEY COME IN PRETTY COLORS!!!

I took the trash and plastic bottles out today, and as I was looking in the recycle bin I thought to myself, My God, it’s full of Glocks.
