I’ve spent a lot of money trying to get away from glocks at this point, and haven’t been able to. I’m probably not really done trying, but for the foreseeable future I’m rational enough to just stick with it. All of my personal best times/scores have happened which glocks, and it’s clear that my shortcomings in shooting are mine, and not the fault of the gun. I’ve got tons of holsters and tons of mags, spare parts and general “infrastructure” built up around shooting and carrying glock pistols. I’ve thought a lot about trying out M&Ps or PDPs, but they don’t honestly seem that different from glocks to me.
So, for you personally, what does it actually take to switch main carry/competition pistols? Assuming your job isn’t what’s keeping you on one particular gun. Is it just better performance? How much “more” of whatever metrics you’re looking at make the work of buying new mags/holsters worth it? If you have done this, did you do do it all at once, or was it a gradual process for you?
