I maybe from the Libertarian Jew Fairy school of armed woodsdwelling rednecks, but I've never been comfortable with Glocks, either. I have a Glock 17 and like all of them it's just a bit too big and clumsy to be comfortable in my small hands, so I just got a new Heckler und Koch P2000 in .40. Very sweet little device. H&K makes some sexy gear! Though not a fan of the 40, Id still take one over ANY Glock, ANY day.

I'm no expert by any means but I've been unhappy with the Glocks I've used because of the lack of a safety catch. Their documentation goes on and on about how unlikely they are to accidentally discharge but there's nothing to stop the trigger. I feel much safer with firearms I can switch off and know they're off.
Props to them for elegant design though. Yeah I dont buy into that trigger doohicky crap either! However, my SIG has no safety either. Its DA on first pull and SA thereafter, reload, repeat, etc etc.  Although the Glock is a FINE weapon, I am much more inclined to go with a hammer. Hammer Back? Gun BANG! Hammer down? Gun NO BANG! (possible exception: Gun is GOING BANG RIGHT NOW! )
