I know some folks have nothing but evil to say about the .40SW in the Glock, but I have found it a pretty good experience. Awhile back, I got to shoot a range buddy's Glocks (he has nine at last count!), and I've found that three of them shoot really well for me.
The target in this pic was the long-slide .40SW Model 35 shot by me at about 7 yards (Ray's preferred practice distance for defensive shooting):

Being a dedicated Colt 1911 owner/shooter, I'm trying real hard to keep hating the Glock pistols - but it gets harder all the time, when I shoot like this!
Oh heck - There may be a "plastic pistol" in my future after all . . .

The other one's I shoot well are the full-size 9mm and the compact .45ACP model. Sorry, can't keep all those model numbers straight.
