No argument there, but plenty of SIG's, Beretta's and Colts over the years as well.
True, but I doubt you'd find any one single brand of those having as much professional (i.e. LEO) use as does the Glock. Many departments went directly from revolver to Glock and have stayed there.
1911 variants certainly have the numbers, but it's a far lower-pressure round than the .40 or even the 9mm.
Now, that said...I can notice some bulging in brass from my Glock 22 (current gen), and as a beginning reloader, I'm quite leery of moving into .40S&W territory because of it.

I'm not trying to dispute the king of the hill title that Glock has earned from LE. I was merely stating there's plenty of other brands that aren't insignificant in terms of numbers. I think there's enough Berettas and SIGs that have been sold for a reasonable comparison.
