Well, since you asked...
1) The tigger is absolute junk, IMHO. Having to pull on a trigger before you can pull on the trigger is just silly (at best). Maybe it's just me (and half of the rest of the world) but I just never could get used to it. I'm sure that with a lot of practice I could break myself of the habits I've formed over the years, but then I woudn't be able to shoot any other type of gun.
2) There have been more NG's with the Glock than with all other types of military and police issue guns combined. The safety features are notoriously unsafe.
3) I've heard of the frames wearing out and fracturing under heavy use. Although kind of a minor point for most people (I do mean heavy use) it kind of sticks in my craw a bit.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a lot like Ford and Chevy. Some people just like one over the other and sometimes for no good reasons. If the Glock floats your boat, buy the heck out of 'em, knock yourself out! They're just not for me...
PS If I could hit the broadside of a barn with the Glock, my opinion might be very different...
