Glocks.

Actually, the most over-rated weapon line is the "wonder-nine". But that ain't on the list. So I voted for Glock.

Glocks are an okay weapon, but not as good as all the hype would indicated. I carry one every day at work and qualify with it and watch others qualify.

The only thing saving Beretta and 3rd Gen S&W from the title is they are not as hyped, either by advertising or "true believers".

SIG and H&K are both overpriced, but not over-rated. They are as good as they claim. Neither claims to be the nee-plus-ultra of handguns. (SIG's controls stink, but that's a different problem.)

The problem most folks have with the 1911 is the same problem lots of folks have the manual transmissions. They don't know how to work them. Besides, automatic transmissions are more modern.

Guns are supposed to be steel and walnut. And if God had meant for autopistols to be double action, He'd have had John Moses Browning design it that way in the first place!
