Curiosity at the opinion of the best full size platform... I get that a P226 Elite may beat a stock Glock 17, etc, but in general what is your favorite platform / family for a full size 9mm?

I haven't fired a lot of different 9X19 platforms, but the Browning HP-35 fits my hands very well. It also has a long history with a very good reputation.
Hands down Glock. They check all the boxes. Reliable, accurate, easy to shoot, aftermarket parts out the wazoosky, affordable, light weight and easy to work on. You can do a complete detail strip with a ballpoint pen. They aren't necessarily the best at any one thing but no other guns can do everything like Glock.
For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm

The Glock has been around a while and have a few less parts and I like them never a problem with any I have or had over the years . I have been going with Sigs 320 in 9 lately loaded up with Fed 124 plus P HST and Desantis Holsters , mag prices are high on the Sigs and may be in short supply with all the new contracts their getting .

I've always done my best shooting with the Beretta 92FS. Plus I like its reliability (4,500+ rounds through mine with no malfunctions). It's currently my HD gun, loaded with 147gr HST.

I have a handful; M&P9, VP9, PPQ, 320, and probably another one I can't think of, but I just can't warm up to the strikers. I know the younger crowd and even some old guys like me think they are the shiznit, but I just like a good ole fashioned hammer. Give me a 226, 92 or P30.
The poll is phrased 'what is your favorite platform'. For me, it's the glock 34. The more I shoot it the more fun I have. Laser accurate and flat shooting, I love 92s, 226s and such just as much as anyone else, but the g34 is it for me in a big 9.
