Its because all the pics would all look like black plastic blobs of robot poop. The reason you see "Post picks of your 1911's" or "post pics of your Browning High Power" is because they are woks of art in addition to firearms, tools, hobbys etc. They have history they have depth, they draw you in from afar with their multiple use of medium and materials, their contours and the interplay between wood, (some) plastic, steel and alloy. Glocks just take a bunch of already existing technology and patterns and patent and smush them all together in a big old hunk of square plastic. And I am not just picking on JUST Glocks, its all the other soulless wanna be black murder guns that just look the same to me. There is an infinite variety of 1911's and high powers and the like, each one often tailored to a persons personal taste in color, contrast and functionality. My cousin just retired from 40 years in the Guard and he was presented with a desert tan bone stock Sig that the army just adopted, it came in a plastic clamshell case. If this had been 50 years ago it would have been an engraved or embellished 1911 and would have been something his grand kids could have told stories about and looked at lovingly and fondled as an historical object. Instead it will just end up in a recycle bin.
Anyway, my thoughts this morning. Buy something quality made mostly of steel.
