When it comes to firearms beauty comes in the form of durability, reliability and accuracy.  You'll find all of these in the Glock line of handguns.  I've been carrying a Glock 19 for about 5 years now and have never had any issues.  The gun has always functioned flawlessly, shot accurately and has always been durable.  Most of you have seen the Glock 21 Torture Test put on by Adco Firearms which was quite impressive, in fact it was down right amazing!  Now take a look at this recent torture test of the Glock 19 done during the 2008 Tactical Response Alumni Weekend.  It's a series of two videos where they put 68 loaded magazines through the Glock 19 for a total of 1000 rounds.
