....other than that, it's a good, reliable gun in a potent caliber. It's a good choice.
The reason is that Glock gives good deals to LE agencies and promotes their firearms to LE heavily (so price and product image seem to be important). I think it also helps that Glocks are easy to operate, require little maintenance and do not have external safeties so even inexperienced LE officers can use them with little trouble. Many LE agencies went with the .40 S&W but I think that will change with improvements in ammo.
