Glock 19. Simple, effective, reliable, and relatively cheap.

I have a Glock 19 too. The Springfield XDM Compact Elite 10mm is the same size and points better for me. The Glock has never failed to go BANG, but neither have the others. The Sig P365XL has a better sight radius than the regular P365 and drops right into the pocket of cargo pants with a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. I usually forget it is there.

“Glock 19. Simple, effective, reliable, and relatively cheap.”

I STRONGLY DISAGREE. I bought a new Glock 19 and it perpetually malfunctioned. Failure to load and eject was the issue. I was told to clean it. I did exactly to the manual specs, dozens of times. I was told to buy new magazines for it, I did. It was sent in for warranty and came back with the same issues. I was told to break it in with 300 rounds. After 600 rounds I traded it in for a S&W 10mm.

The S&W 10 MM has never had any issues, neither has my 1911, XD 40 or my Sig 365. The Glock 19 was the only weapon I’ve ever owned that was a perpetual piece of cow manure. I will say that it was extremely accurate whenever it did decide to work.

And now for those telling my I was doing something wrong, for a Glock is God’s gift to mankind.
