It was 90% because of the blind devotion of the Glocktard. I still have issues with the gun;the grip angle and ergonomics come to mind. The only reason the gen 4 has backstraps is because block couldn't deny it needed them any longer. Glock just rode its own coat tails and only made a slight change when it absolutely couldn't hold out any longer...not to mention they way it very very quietly fixes problems with its "Perfection" and nearly denies there are any problems at all.
If I let the tards that like certain guns keep me away from them I would have to give up guns all together. People as a general rule are stupid. So is bashing a gun you had never fired or owned.
I bash the hell out of Springfield and HK, but I have owned many of both.
I've owned a bunch if sigs and berettas too, and I don't really care for them personally but I don't hate them like I do Springfield and HK.
Springfield I just hate the company, actually love most of their guns. HK is garbage as far as I'm concerned.
