Glock in decline?

I have to agree Richard Johnson's take on the supposed decline of Glock. This isn't the Titanic or the Ottoman Empire by any means, but they have definitely been in some stagnant waters for a long time. Glock (my pistol of choice) is a great gun. It works, it's durable, it works, it's ugly, it's easy enough for a cop or federal agent to figure out how to work, and my favorite- It's cheap! Those things make it a winner....for now, but the day has come where the same durability is being found in many other pistols for around the same price, and with Glock's new, super duper disco gun with its problems. It is starting to look alot like Obama's re-election campaign. Glock is nowhere near dead, but it should be noted that they have seriously fumbled the launch of something that should have been a no-brainer! I believe Glock will work out their flaws, but like Johnson noted:

"While Glock stayed out of long guns, S&W actively pursued the AR market with the M&P15 line of rifles. This offers departments a “one stop shopping” experience with Smith. S&W can sell an agency duty guns, backup guns, and rifles, and is likely to offer sweeter contract terms for the department to get the deal. "

You have to admit that is an edge that Glock cannot match, and one that will plague them for years to come. Also, that grip angle on there....that ain't nowhere near perfection.
