The idea that there's much functional difference among these striker-fired plastic cop guns is mostly a creation of marketing departments.— Tamara K. (@TamSlick) May 13, 2017
While you can definitely still get burned in the bargain aisle, the name-brand stuff is pretty much all much of a muchness.
Glock enjoys the market position it does as a function of two things: Massive aftermarket support (and this becomes a chicken-and-egg thing at some point: You don't get this kind of aftermarket support without being huge, and you don't get this huge without the aftermarket support,) and the fact that for end users, it's still the easiest of the striker-fired plastic cop gats to work on.
