Congrats! Glock got me a couple months ago. As far as the ugly goes - it starts looking better and better as it voraciously swallows whatever it's fed. They've got great barrels, great magazines, great engineering, and the finish is hard as a rock and wears like iron. But be ready for the 'glock phenomenon.' With the low bore axis and big flat sighting plane it will soon make your other pistols feel unnaturally tall. You'll see...
But there's a downside. They're darn near as bad as AR15's when it comes to 'accessorizing.' All kinds of aftermarket goodies available. I love my PT145, but it sure is nice having a pistol that everybody and his brother makes parts for.
And it's also nice having a pistol that doesn't seem to care if it's dirty or clean, lubed or dry. It just keeps on shooting. I had mine out on monday, and put a couple hundred rounds through it. When I was done I wiped it down, inside and out, and pulled a rag through the barrel. I was amazed to find that it's pretty doggone clean after after a lick and a promise. Owning your own will reveal to you very quickly why so many leos love these things.
