Someone I know in airoft compared the TM Hi capa (an airsoft pistol) to Glocks in that people constantly preach that the Hi capa is the best airsoft gun ever, but then he'd say "nothing on there is even from TM" (he's pointing out that they've upgraded everything and there isn't one stock part left on their gun) and made a comparison about how people often do the same thing with Glocks, upgrading everything and stating that Glock makes perfect handguns. Under that context, I'd say yes, they're definitely overrated, but on the same note, I actknowledge that Glocks, just like Hi capas, are popular for good reason but are given a bit too much credit by many people. Do you believe Glocks are overrated?
Big time. The first polymer handgun was not Glock. It was H&K. They have the most horrible trigger ever put on a handgun, an incredibly fucked up grip angle, no front slide serrations and plastic sights. For the same money you can get an H&K VP9 or Walther PPQ with none of those problems and superior ergonomics. Glock was a much simpler pistol that through simplicity made them more reliable than others of the day but they weren’t perfect and their shortcomings have still not been addressed. Others have caught up and surpassed them. People that buy Glocks are “me too” followers that never even bother looking at anything else. Big mistake

"Overrated" could be in the eye of the beholder. Since they were the first major company to make a pistol in 40 S&W, and then dominated the U. S. law enforcement market, that definitely catapulted them into the spotlight that they're in in the U. S. But major reasons why law enforcement agencies and militaries across the globe choose Glocks is because they're rugged, reliable, low-maintenance and affordable.
