If you are sold on the 9mm, have a look at the Springfield XD9. I have a friend who shoots a lot with me and he likes my XD9 better than his Glock. His son just bought an XD9. I’m very impressed with mine after about 1200 rounds through it.
Thanks for the ping—a thread from 5 years ago!
Since I wrote the original post, I tried my own advice. I spent a lot of time shooting a friend’s Glock. Now, I have two of my own.
All the major models are fine tools. The key is what feels best to an individual shooter. I found that a Glock really fits me well, and it seems to shoot where I want before I begin aiming it. I have friends that love Glocks, and others that hate them. It’s all a matter of preference. The most important thing is to experiment, find a good personal fit among reliable models, and practice.
Again, thanks for the bringing it up.
