I'm sure the driving factor was the cost (new Glocks versus maining old HPs or buying new ones), and Glock has a way with delivering LE/military contracts that undercut the prices of their competitors. That's why their (somewhat clunky and out-dated) pistols are so popular with LE/military bean-counters.
That said, I'm not a huge Glock fan, but it's also hard to deny that they are reliable and easily serviced firearms.
