My biggest complaint about the Glock was the slide release and having to hold back the slide while pulling down the release and then letting go. Then I read about expanded slide releases and installed one on my Gen 2 17. Things got much better. I still prefer a takedown system that doesn't require holding things down, punches, or similar obstacles to somebody with a few extra years and arthritis, but this is now at least reasonable for me and gets range time as a result. I would still not recommend this make for people with arthritic hands and decreased hand strength.
