some people don’t like the long trigger sweep- i can’t stand glocks because of that and because the handle isn’t comfortable to me, but i’ll never put down their price, light weight, ease of use, and reliability.

You might look into a Steyr M9 or M9A. They are a much improved (my opinion) take off on the Glock design. My favorites are 9mm and 40 S&W. You can choose between these two with a barrel, magazine and recoil spring change.

The grip is more rounded and thus does not feel like a 2x4 gripped in your fist. The grip to barrel angle is identical to my Buckmark.

The barrel centerline is about as low as is physically possible, minimizing muzzle flip. The trigger pull is enormously better than the Glock.

I tell the tale that it “feels like the Lady of the Lake threw it to me.” Seriously, it points like it grew at the end of my arm.

And I like the weird triangular sights (YMMV, but give them a try). Two contrasting colors of florescent paint (one color on the front sight another on the back) make it almost instantaneous to pick up the sight picture in bad light.

Milt Sparks makes custom holsters for it. I have an VM2 that is very comfortable.
