I just wasn't impressed and it is not something I would let my life depend on.
I've put at least a thousand through my 34 and have 0 malfunctions of any kind, ftf, fte, etc. 100% reliable and I'd bet my life on it time and time again. Same goes for my 1911.
Sounds like Glock left a bad taste in your mouth John. I won't quote all your other posts but come on. Cheap people? 350 for a Glock vs 600 for an XD? I can pick up either one for less than 500 easily. Hell, I can go pick up an XD40 right now for 350. Does that mean it sucks because it's cheaper than a Glock 22 that I could find?
I understand that you've had some issues with Glocks you've owned but millions of people haven't. That's why they're so popular. It's not because they're cheap. It's because they go bang when you pull the trigger.
