I always come back to my Glocks. There are others that I enjoy shooting, but really out of the box what holds up against one? Half the price of many pistols, just stupid reliable, easy to maintain and you can shoot the hell out of them.

Variety is good, and I have many pistols, but really if they all had to go id be OK as long as I got to keep my Tupperware.

... Which is why I kept buying them every couple years... then selling them. For ME -the ergonomics aren't just bad, they are also painful, pointabity sucks, the grip texture requires help and the square slide prints like a box of breakfast cereal. Yet, I can shoot the crap out of them. Pisses me off every time I shoot one.

Luckily for me there are viable options out there that are just as shootable but with a much better fit all around.

I'm convinced that everyone eventually figures out what suits them best, and it generally seems to happen just the way it did for you. Whatever else anyone would like to think, the ones you keep finding yourself shooting are the ones for you.

I love my Glocks but I immediately have to change out the plastic sights. I then change out slide release, trigger, and mag release by choice. On the other hand my 320’s get a stipple job and that’s it.

Now the perfect gun to me would be a 320 that used glock mags. Sweet.

I would actually build every gun using glock mag as starting point.

The Gen 5 cemented this for me

I've owned and shot just about everything

I had come full circle and ended up back on glocks for my use guns when the grips/beaver tails came about with ththe gen 4s....even then, though, I was changing out connectors, and springs, and triggers etc.l.

The gen 5 guns I don't have to do any of that stuff with. I just swap out the sights for my night sight of choice, and away we go

LOL I feel EXACTLY the same way. Hate the ergos, triggers suck balls, soulless lumps of polymer and metal, but I shoot them well so I keep them around.

The more I shoot and handle pistols the more I realize I shoot and prefer DA/SA best. I like Glocks, I’m just better with a DA/SA. Spent too much time and money fighting that fact already. And I’m beat.

Glocks and 1911's.

Everything else is just a distraction.

In some cases, such as the P210, those distractions are glorious - but for real work, the things we do with pistols that classify them as "tools" - Glocks and 1911's, always.

The things just work and are just so easy to mod the way you want them, if you mod them at all.

A big plus is if you are involved in the horrid circumstance to have to use one for defense,
1 - it will work
2 - when the cops take it for evidence, they can't harm it
3 - you probably have a replacement sitting in your safe

I would HATE for one of my 1911s* to be bouncing around some evidence locker.

*or my W german SIGs

Glock was the one pistol I didn't want to like. I shot just about everything trying to decide on a home defense/EDC combo and ended up going with Glock because it was just easier to shoot at speed. Don't fight, embrace the dark side.....

Of course more data is needed, but I'm starting to think the M&P 2.0 line is just that.

Not sure if anyone saw this yet.
