So. I'm stumped. I'm in a position to add another pistol in the near future. My current is a Glock 17 gen 4. Now I've owned lots of pistols over the last few years. Glock, 1911's, CZ, M&P's. I spent a lot of time "playing" with various pistols but not trying to seriously improve skill. Last summer I had to rearrange my priorities a bit and this forced me down to one pistol. I chose the Glock that I mentioned. I use it for everything. I carry it daily. It works very well for me in that role. The only modification I've done is a set of defoor sights. I've begun a much more serious dry fire/training regimen and I think focusing on this one gun has benefitted me. To date I've put 3500 rounds through it.
After work I checked out a couple options.
G45. I liked this the most. I honestly cant find a reason not to go this way.
G19 gen 5. I wasnt blown away here. I know they are great. But I think I just prefer the full size grip.
I didn't get to look at a 17 gen 5. But I have a pretty good idea what I'm getting into there.
So my debate is: G45 or another G17? I'm staying with Glock because of my current inventory of mags and holsters etc.
I don't think I will enjoy the grip of the 19, but I might like the shortened slide. If I go 17, it will be a gen 5.
I realize this is kind of a silly post because the G45 gets plenty of exposure. But, is there something I'm not considering here?
Lastly, I shot my uncles 19x last year. I like that gun. But I want a black gun and I'll install defoor sights anyway. My intention for the new gun is to be a second gun. Shoot one a lot. Shoot the carry gun some. I'm leaning G45. Any input is welcome.
