You never know.  Lots to recommend a Glock.  Give it time.

I don't think I will ever warm up to a 10mm Glock. Shame 

Your loss. Arguably the best 10mm pistol in production today, whether you like the "looks" or not.

Same for me, I had a 23 about 10 years ago, got disgusted with it, sold it, would've never bought another except I wanted the strongest 10mm out there. After owning several other 10's and being dissatisfied for various reasons, I picked up a 21SF to put a 10mm top end on. Now, that 21SF is one of my favorite pistols, it's as accurate as my best 1911 45, with twice the capacity. I like it enough that now I bought a gen4 19 as well. I still claim to not be a Glock fan, but I'm starting to like them more and more, against my will.

What makes them the toughest out there?

I held a g20c and HATED the way it fit in my hand. So if other g20 (not sure about the sf or the non c version as I have not held them) fit my hand like this one did I will be happy to never own one.

They'll "feel" the same in your hand.  They're the same, except the "C" is a little lighter up front.  If you didn't like the feel of the 20C, you won't like the 20 of the same generation.  Try an SF model.  The grips are different.  You can go as far as custom fitting them, or try previous/later generations.  The 2/3/4 gen grips are all different in some way.

If you don't like them, it isn't a crime.  Lots of others to choose from.

What makes them the toughest out there?

The slide is engineered with far fewer stress focus points than say, a 1911 slide.  It is thicker and it has a stronger top lug system.

Plus the polymer frame readily accepts flex.  Steel, not so much.  You add up all the engineering aspects of the whole package and it is as if it was designed from the ground up to simply handle abuse like no other.  And of course it is well proven and time tested that it does.  And if a piece does break, it doesn't break the bank to replace that piece.  I think just the simplicity of the Glock design probably helps out too in little ways one would normally consider.

[sqlbullet]

The 1911 and the Glock are two great revolutionary designs.  I won't be surprised at all if they are still staples in another 100 years.

[Yondering]

it is as if it was designed from the ground up to simply handle abuse like no other. 

It was. Unlike other designs, the G20 was designed from the ground up specifically for the 10mm. The 45 auto version came after the 10mm Glock, where most other designs use a 45 Auto platform modified to fit the 10mm.

And not to leave it out, similarly the G29 overall platform being designed first and foremost for the 10mm Auto.

[sqlbullet]

They certainly are premier platforms for the 10mm.
