Fact is, most folks will never become proficient enough to really tell the subtle differences in shootability between a Glock, XD, Sig or a CZ. Furthermore, guys like Sevigny, Leatham, Jarret, and dozens of other GM shooters could pick up any of those pistols and school most, if not all, of the shooters on this board with any one of them. If it fits your hand and you like it, buy it. Go shoot the crap out of it and enjoy yourself.

Glocks rock, I never said they didn't. But for me, they are at the bottom of the heap based solely on ergonomics. More power to the guys who can shoot them well.

I already own a couple 1911 pistols. Im just looking for something "NEW" and "Different". (New and Different to me)
Thanks for the replies.
Thanks for the replies.
If you already own some 1911's and want to try something different, then I say by all means you should buy a Glock/HK/XD/whatever.
They're all good guns. Besides, everyone should own at least one Glock during their lifetime, if for no other reason than to know what all the Glock lovers/haters are talking about.
My personal history with Glock is, I bought my first one (23) back in 1991/1992. I liked it enough to also buy a 19 and a 17. I got caught up in all the hype about their durability/reliability and thought they were the ultimate handgun.
Then gradually I began to see them for what they really are. Simple, reliable, inexpensive (relatively) guns that require very little maintenance. I eventually realized that they are neither "perfection" as some think, nor "junk" as others think. They're simply good solid guns but nothing special at all.
However, that's my opinion. You may find yourself in love with them. Give one a try.

Yeah, I was thinking about the G26. But Im sort of interested in the G19 or G22. Im also looking at a Sig that a friend has. It has caught my attention as well. Im so confused. I may just buy both.

This past weekend I looked at a 9mm XD at the local gun getting place, and I have to admit it took me a while to give it back to the sales guy .
Just my .02,

Hey, I actually own or shoot most of these on a semi-regular basis!
I keep bumming other people's 1911's. They aren't bad, but I find my sig 220 to be more accurate as far as 45's go.
I like my XD, it feels good in my hand and all the controls are reasonably well placed even for a leftie. I've had others display quite good accuracy out of it, and I've never had problems with reliablity out of its 5k or so. (wish I could figure out how the few managed to get it to perform.. I still seem much more accurate with a friends G17)
speaking of glocks. 1st and 2nd gen aren't bad. 3rd I've had issues with. Grips felt somewhat less solid, control surfaces too plasticy and ill fitting. Might just be a bum example or two that I've handled. Have seen a G21 detonate. I'll let everyone know if my Sig 226 ever does.
Only pistol I feel I've missed out on is the CZ. Never gotten to handle or fire one.
Ah. BHP's. Balance felt a little off and accuracy was nothing of note.
