Glock stumbles into advertising.

From a pure "wow" factor viewpoint, this vid lets me down.

From a form leads to function viewpoint, this vid lets me down.

From a "if I didn't own a Glock would this vid convince me to buy one" viewpoint, this vid fails.

If Glocks continue to lose market share to Smith and Wesson, Spring Field,  Ruger and the other gun makers they can point to all the issues with the Gen4 (and the arrogance that they showed by not fixing it right away)...they can point to the lack of confidence that they displayed by ignoring their instincts by dumping the fish scale serations and rough texturing...and they can point to a lack luster advertising/promotions/aftermarket program...if Glock themselves sold Glock certified (and backed) extended slide releases, paint, adjustable sights and other things that the public is clamoring for then they could build on their customer base.

Instead they're acting like a tired old gun company that's resting on its laurels.

I love my Glocks (all three of them) but if I was in the market for a new handgun it would be a XD.
