My mother almost lost her career because of Glock. She was a career long LEO in the Southeastern US. She carried a Sig P220 throughout her civilian law enforcement career. She was an expert marksman who always either won or placed highly in each competition she attended. She was also a firearms instructor for her county Sheriff's department. Then Glock and their marketing folks came along and started putting money in the pockets of Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police, and other law enforcement leaders. Next thing you know, my mother's Sheriff was telling her and the rest of the department that they had to carry a department issued Glock rather than whatever firearm they had carried for years prior. My mother was the only one who fought this and it cost her a lot of friends and money but she eventually won the right to carry her P220. She ended up having to retire early from the county Sheriff's Department because most of her peers were hostile towards her after she went against the Sheriff. All of this happened while I was a little boy in the 80s and 90s but to this day the only modern pistol brands I buy are Sig and CZ. I guess my bias was created in childhood, but I'll never buy or own a Glock.
