Glocks seem to be the most used and liked. OMG! It almost mirrors the IDPA polls on gun used.

Just FYI

I've done some of my best shooting with a Glock, but I just can't seem to really become as fond of them as my Sig.

It is quite remarkable how Glock was able to so quickly establish a dominance on the LE firearm market. I'm glad to see Sig in second, though with a far greater margin than I would like.

[Trooper224]

Not remarkable at all, when you consider that Glock literally gives the things away for free. The rest of the industry could really take a page or two from Glock's marketing and customer service guides.

70% of cops don't get a choice in their pistol, and the 90% who never shoot outside of qualification would pick Glock from the four choices offered. That's a ringing endorsement.

SOCOM is probably in the same boat.

But on a half serious note - this Glock % seems roughly unchanged for what it's been discussed being for over a decade or more. Over that last few years I've heard a lot about how much they were losing to the challengers.

If I were to vote on where the next big challenge comes from it would probably be from the 320 I think.

People often don't get that this is a systems approach when an agency is involved, and it should be.

With Glock you can get the guns, holsters, magazines, armorer training, parts availability, Sim guns, red guns, all at once, a plug-and-play solution, and can do so for less than what other people charge.

Very true. Add in the simplicity of logisitics and training, and its a compelling argument. Especially when Glock was first beginning to take off and they now have the incumbent advantage.

Sig is pecking away at them by taking the same approach. Our state police went from Glock to Sig after experiencing issues with the Glock 21 and Sig offering to buy the new leather, etc. if they swapped to P227s.

That would likely be a pretty good guess.

That would likely be a pretty good guess.

I honestly (albeit probably naively) expected the FNS pistols to have a larger impact than they seem to be having.

Mine shit the bed very early in its service life.
