I used to like them, but now I dislike them. I have a 23 that I have right at $800 in. I came to find out right after a bought it, that I should have fired a Glock before buying one. My natural grip is a high grip on any pistol, and on the Glock, that equals slide bite. I have a scar from my first 50 rounds through it. ~$250 later, after having the grip reworked by ARS (great guys by the way), which included grinding off the backstrap hump and finger grooves, undercutting the trigger guard, and adding a beavertail, I could shoot it without bleeding, but the recoil of the .40 beat my hands to death. I could, and still can control it just fine, but after about 200 rounds my wrists and hands go numb just from the abrupt snap of the slide. It really sucks to be able to only fire 200 rounds a day. Really sucks. I was accurate with it, and relatively fast, and the gun was stone cold reliable.
Now I have an H&K P2000 in 9x19mm. It's grip angle, as far as I can tell, is that of the 1911/BHP. It ruined me as far as going back to the Glock's grip angle. Steel sights with dovetails, ambi mag and slide levers, second strike capability (which is worthless with current tactical doctrine), and an 8lb DAO trigger, with a 5lb upgrade coming soon. At least as accurate as the Glock, and so far just as reliable. 950 rounds without cleaning and no hanky panky. Best part? 400+ rounds a day and no numb hands! Huzzah for long training sessions.
