    Reliablilty?Both Glock and H&K are almost identical; I prefer H&K, others prefer Glock--which feels better in YOUR hand?Accuracy?I prefer H&K; I don't like Glock sights or grip angle--but what works for you?

    Hey! Hey! Hey! Are you paying attention here? Both possess better accuracy than you are capable of using; unless you are Olympic material. Both are reliable, although going over the opinions I think the Glock 21 gets the nod. A Glock 17 is not a Glock 21, is not a .45.

    Sorry but your comparing apples to oranges, 9mm to 45acp, a $450 gun to a $850 gun.I have a couple of 9mm's, a Beretta 92F and a Glock 17 for plinking, but for stopping power go with the .45 ... (why even mess with the middle of the river .40?)The HK Tactical has the "O-Ring" Barrel, which like the Socom locks-up tighter (which allows for better accuracy) ... accuracy goes to the HK hands down, but as stated before, unless you are an excelent shooter or shooting from a Ransom Rest, you wont realize it.As for reliablity, the HK looses a little because of tighter tollerances for accuracy ... compare a AK-47 and AR-15 ... sloppy bolt & chamber that fires every time or tighter specks that allows more presise shot placement ... apples and oranges ...
