I carried a Glock 22 for about 20 years of my 30+ year career. As did my 5500+ brothers and sisters, and most law enforcement agencies in NA. Literally millions of rounds fired annually. If you're having malfunctions with a Glock you might be shooting really dirty ammo or have some mechanical issue. No gun will run without stoppages 100% of the time, but the reason LE uses Glock is primarily the reliability. There are lots of other reasons but they sit in an open holster getting rained and snowed on, pizza sauce and donut sugar (I might as well say that), many officers don't do proper cleaning etc and they work when you need them.
