Strangely, that'd be me. Was briefly issued the Glock 23, which turned me off from the brand for many years. Picked up a 43X for daughter, kinda like it, so go one for me since I needed a dedicated "California" pistol for my frequent trips down there. Then ended up buying a 19X because, well, I liked the color (that and it was briefly looking like my employer would be making a switch so as in instructor, wanted to get ahead of the curve). Strangely... kinda like this one too.Strangely though, lot’s of non Glock people tend to really like the 43x.
I don't shoot lead nor see the need to switch any parts out. Decent metal night sights on my Glocks, triggers, meh, but good audible and tactile reset. Tons of off the shelf holster options. Inexpensive magazines. Parts are readily available, Cheap enough that they're replaceable and when it's gone, it's not like you'll be saying, "I'll never have another pistol like my wonderful Series 70 or mint P&R Model 19-3 snub." I like my 1911s, SIGs, Berettas and CZs better, but there's a place for the Gs in the safe.
To the OP I'd say, don't buy a gun unless you really like it or need it, and can afford it. Every firearm I bought just to buy a gun, when I didn't feel an overwhelming compulsion to buy, is no longer in my possession.
