I could stack the numbers and spin them to make a Highpoint win… He showed his bias against Springfields from the get-go…. I would give guns without grip safeties a negative +200 points just because I think they are as important as he feels they are deteimental and a negative 100 points for Austria being responsible for spawning Archduke Ferdinand and being responsible for the deaths of millions in WW1…
He doesn’t just say he likes Glock, he quantifies why he likes it! His measurement system went from +1 to -0.5, indicating most guns would get at least a positive score.
Why not say best is 0 and worst is -5, and choose that way? Well, would you want to brag that your choice in pistol was the least worst?
I think it funny that this post has received 2000 hits and has gotten so many people fired up! Today may be my favorite so far as a blogger.
In the post I actually say… “All of these guns should be reliable and accurate” and “Obviously this “test” is highly biased based on what I look for in a carry gun”
I don’t bash the function of any gun, I am honest about my biases and I invite people to adjust the scales based on their preferences.
Glocks, 1911’s and XD’s are the Patriots, Cowboys and Raiders of the gun world.

Does seem like a lot of work to just say he likes Glock.
