I think it looks great!
I was suspicious as well, but it took about 5 minutes (less time than it takes to install) of working with one to wonder how I ever did without it. Can now perform virtually any function on the weapon system without removing my strong hand from fire control. I could...
I agree with the others that gear, training and ammo are all important, but I'll stick with the question as stated and assume that the $500 is only good for a gun.
At this given minute, I'd probably go with the Ruger LCP or LC9 - both well under $500 new. Would be nice to have something...
I just traded in an ACOG TA31DOC. It was crystal clear and bright, and just an amazing piece of kit. If you need the magnification I couldn't think of anything I'd rather have.
I didn't need the magnification, and it proved to be slower for me in close engagements. There are guys out there...
+1 for Vortex.
I run an Aimpoint T1, but I wouldn't hesitate to trust the Vortex SPARC. Starts at $289 (MSRP - easy to find for much less), which is a stupid low price for such a thing. Check it out here: http://www.vortexoptics.com/category/sparc_red_dot
So glad you asked the question. I've been loading lead in WIN brass for some time now, but have a stock pile of Federal in the garage just waiting to be used. Thanks rfwobbly for the response.
Love it. Here are a couple more...

Started with Accurate #2. It was very consistent but very, very dirty. Switched to Bullseye and have been very happy with it. It's also very consistent, and much hotter. The next one that I'd like to try is W231 - soon. :)
For bullets I'm using either Precision Delta 230gn RN or Unique...
Wow guys - this is some great stuff. I'd love to see more pictures and what kind of features/mods they have.
Here's a link to my collection with pictures, tagged modifications, descriptions and how I use them.

If I could add another option to the poll it would be a checkered front strap. My Wilson has this feature and it's certainly helpful in managing the "hop" of recoil - particularly with sweaty hands. Compared to my Springfield Champ which has a smooth front strap, I'd take checkered every time...
Oh, and regarding the Glock specifically, I think it's a fantastic trigger pull. I've spent 98% of my handgun time competing with a 1911, and now the glock is the only non-1911 I enjoy shooting nearly as much.
I put a 3.5lb Glock trigger connector in my G19 and it really improved my ability to...
Here's a link to a great article that says a lot about grip. What I like most about it is that it doesn't just preach one style as gospel. Rather it demonstrates several options - one of which may work best for you. Grip is certainly personal - what works for me may not work best for you...
