>>Given the Glocks poor track record on safety

Well, now, you've got me on this one. Do Glocks have a "poor track record on safety"? The only problem I ever saw was a bunch of ADs (accidental discharges) when the DC Police bought them in the early 1990s. Seems that officers, new to auto pistols, were checking their loaded status by pulling the trigger. Naturally, they later claimed that the Easter Bunny or space aliens caused the AD. A buddy of mine was in their IAD (Internal Affairs Division - cops who investigate other cops) unit, and they investigated each AD and always determined that the officer had in fact pulled the trigger.

So, I use a Glock for all the reasons you listed: go bang, light weight, big bores, hi-caps - and you might add compact size and simple controls... plus, the pistol points very well for me personally.
