They aren't as beloved in the US as you might think either.
Guns don't kill people, people with guns kill people. {smiley face retracted}
Currently it is difficult to buy any type of gun because everyone is worried that they wont because to purchase them in the future. This gun will be for home protection and I would like to get a CCW. Too many crazy people are surfacing and causing a ruckus. I also would like to get into Law Enforcement in the future.

I think that second 'because' was supposed to be 'be able'. Still, the statement itself is a bit odd. A fear of future restrictions has generally caused an increase in sales, not a decrease. In fact, ammunition and gun sales are so far up that it is helping out agencies that get Pittman-Roberts funds (a tax on guns and ammunition sales distributed to the states for wildlife management based on the number of hunting license sales, or something like that).
I'm not thrilled with the Glock cause they have a reputation for having an overly sensitive trigger. When you have an ailment named after you (I think it's something like "Glock Leg", which occurs among law enforcement as a result of accidentally shooting yourself in the leg by misfiring while drawing), you are doing something wrong.
It's true. In stores like Cabelas, they'll get in a new shipment of guns, pistols and semi-autos especially, and often times the majority will be sold within a week or two, so if you're trying to find a specific gun, it can be very hard. Ammo is even worse, and if you try buying it they'll put you on a waiting list of several months.
Glocks are actually about the safest, most durable gun for their price, too. Hence why law enforcement favors them. The shooting yourself in the leg is probably your own fault, or a certain model that probably got recalled. Law enforcement where I live uses a Glock 22, which is in .45 instead of .40, but either way it's still a great gun

None of that, actually. Law Enforcement favors them because Glock focused a massive marketing campaign on them, and the shooting yourself in the leg is ALWAYS at least partially your fault, but the model wasn't recalled. It was a feature, not a bug.
I took it to mean that the market is so tight with people buying guns, because of feared restrictions, they are hard to find.

This is my first time hearing about "Glock Leg". I have only heard good things about Glocks and how safe they actually are. Im sure it also depends on the type of holster in use. I would think the holsters that hold the gun with pressure on the trigger guard would be more prone to problems.

Glock 22 is .40. Glock 21 is .45. Unless of course they swapped out the barrel.

So....did the salesman give you his glock'n spiel?
It likely sounded like that:

C++ programmers will dismiss you as a cretinous simpleton for your inability to keep track of pointers chained 6 levels deep and Java programmers will pillory you for buying into the evils of Microsoft. Meanwhile C# programmers will get paid just a little bit more than you for writing exactly the same code and VB6 programmers will continue to whitter on about "footprints". - FunkyDexter
There's just no reason to use garbage like InputBox. - jmcilhinney
The threads I start are Niya and Olaf free zones. No arguing about the benefits of VB6 over .NET here please. Happiness must reign. - yereverluvinuncleber
The shortage in ammo is in part because the U.S. Government is buying so much for DHS. 1.7 billion rounds or so. It is, in my opinion, an underhanded and unjustifiable way to slow down the market. Our tax dollars at work!
I thought guns were for self defense? What was the squirrel packing????

Does the gamey meat taste better when you serve it some fava beans and a nice Chianti?

Fava beans are broad beans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fava_beans
Chianti is a wine from the Chianti region in central Tuscany Italy (Located in central Italy along the Tyrrhenian coast): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chianti
I have heard that the combination should go very well with the game you target in your hunting expeditions. Perhaps you could try the recipe next hunting trip?
