OK...so for 20+ years I've carried Glocks. I was finally down to three basic guns in my carry rotation - a G17 Gen 4 for duty, a G19 Gen 4 for the desk/off-duty, and a G43 for CCW. Over the last few months I've strayed from the one true path of Perfection and found some really great alternatives to my Austrian guns. I hated how the G43 always shot low left due to hoe I gripped the gun from the draw. I also hated the recoil. So I got a M&P Shield 9mm and I shot it better and it feels like I'm shooting a much bigger gun. I sold the 43 and I'll probably buy another Shield... If I wanted something really small to carry, I went and bought an LCP II, why, because Glock's 42 is just not really all that small. Then, egads I took the big fall...I looked at the P320 compact. I thought, it's just looking, what really could go wrong... Then I bought one...and my G19 seems to have been left in the safe more and more... Plus recently I had a Kaboom with the P320 (ammo related) and the gun held up like a tank. My G19 would have left me a little bloody if it had been the one I was shooting. The more I play with the P320 Compact the more I like it. Oh how I've strayed... The G17 is still my duty gun...but I saw a P320 Full Size...  | ||

I know what you mean. I have carried a G19 for years and for the past few weeks have been carrying the P320 compact. From IWB concealment, the only compliant I have with the P320 compact is the beaver tail. I know it's less pronounced in the sub compact, which is more comparable to a G26. But comparing to G19, the G19 has no beaver tail if it's not sporting the back straps. When driving I have to re position the P320 so the beaver tail isn't stabbing my gut which is a non issue with my G19. Until I get a sub compact module I'll be switching from G19 to P320 depending on how much driving I plan on doing that day. | |||

funny, I had a 320 and sold it for a g 19 rtf2 then bought a 32 23 30s 43 19 gen 2 and next week a 42 I no longer have any sigs. whatever works for you is the gun you should own. Glad we have so many choices. | |||

My only Glorp is a G23, it is one of the easiest guns to CCW in a large caliber, high capacity. I've thought long and hard about getting rid of that "fantastic plastic", but it just can not be beat for certain conditions. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

I at one time owned a large number of Glocks, EDC'd a G32 for years. Down to just a very few now and can't see expanding that stable again. I do believe the M&P Shield to be the softer shooter than the G43 and that the G42 is a tack driver in 380. I've tried to like the P320. There's just something about the grade of polymer Sig uses in this line that feels, cheap. I have had a love / hate understanding with the M&P line of pistols over the years. I like the size of the Compacts. Sort of a tweener in size between a G26 and G19. The post 2013 9mm pistols fixed the accuracy challenges with new barrels and R of T. S&W also made subtle changes that made the trigger serviceable. Although Apex is still the way to go. Smith has also took a page from Glocks playbook with respects to marketing, they kept the prices of the mags reasonable! >>>>>>> To other pistol pmakers, If you want to sell pistols in the US market, make your accessories both accessable and reasonably price! ______________________________________________ Life is short.
