I'm surprised no one said a Luger?

I'm going to guess it has something to do with being an idiot who read an article in Soldier of Fortune or SWAT once, and feels that having read that article makes him an expert on the internet.
All Glocks.
So, in summary, they're all overrated.
I would say the most over rated pistol is the UZI. Not really so much on it's design, cost, or function but because of the fear and hype and damage that it's reputation has done to gun ownership. Take away the spray and pray videos. Take away the videos of flying brass. Take away the brrrrrrrrap that sounds like a turbo charged vibrator. Take away the gold toothed thugs shooting each other silly from low slung Caddy's and we probably would have never had an assault weapon ban passed in this country or in Massachusetts. The fear of those over rated pieces of crap in my opinion makes them the worst pistol ever.
How about the Wildey .475 magnum . . .
Gonna back that up with some references?
Beretta M9
EDIT: I see a few people beat me to it.... Let me expand:
1. External safety (aka "lameness lever")
2. Open slide / crude magnet (seriously - WTF?)
3. Shitty caliber for a "combat" gun. (9mm FMJ? Please....)
4. Only won over the Sig because it was cheaper ("Good enough" never is)
5. Italian ('nuff said)
I actually carried and trained with one in the Marines. I was never a fan.
The Bren 10. Only because Don Johnson thought it was cool to carry in Miami Vice
It's hard to make an educated opinion living in Ma because the price of firearms is a deciding factor and a gun here is disproportionately higher then free states.

I'm starting to think so, jeepers creepers.
drgrant - What semi auto's do you feel are great pistols? I'm just wondering; I have some free time through the day and I'd like to look into them. Thanks.
No way....
I liked the gun a lot.

Gee, I guess someone likes his Beretta.I'm going to guess it has something to do with being an idiot who read an article in Soldier of Fortune or SWAT once, and feels that having read that article makes him an expert on the internet.
Anything that does not fire .40 is overrated IMO.
