The article I read described the Browning as "clunky". I've always thought that the BHP is a very sleek and compact pistol design. More slender than the Glock for certain.

My duty sidearm is the Glock 19 and I carry the Glock 26 as my off-duty piece. I am very fond of revolvers and the Glock is not the last word in pistols. However it is a very easy pistol to teach to officers who are not shooters (I am a firearms instructer with my agency). It is an easy design to maintain and it very reliable and not picky about ammunition.

When we transitioned to the Glock pistol in 2006 it was a very easy transition. Several of our officers ,who are rather indifferent about shooting, did not have any difficulty with the transition and we actually saw the qualification scores improve.

For what it is the Glock is a success. I have no complaints with it.
