Glock has been killing the competition with their marketing my entire adult life. Their first coup: ditching nearly every standard safety convention (heavy first trigger pull, manual safety, etc) and just calling this "safe action." I always compared it to whoever named the "smart" car. I know they were sitting around with focus groups who said the first word that came to their mind was "dumb" and the marketing guy said, "well crap, just call it the 'smart' car...problem solved."
Let those who are fond of blaming and finding fault, while they sit safely at home, ask, ‘Why did you not do thus and so?’I wish they were on this voyage; I well believe that another voyage of a different kind awaits them.”
