Okay guys, I'm on my umpteenth Glock at this point, and I find that while they always function reliably and shoot accurately enough for what I would use them for, I just don't use them. Now I know everyone says that you should have at least one Glock in your collection, but I'm of the train of thought that it's not really worth having something around if it isn't actively used. I don't believe in safe queens. That said, for my carry purposes, I will typically reach for my P229. If I need something a little bit lighter weight due to the type of clothing I'm wearing that day (typically lightweight summer type stuff that even with a good gun belt, tends to flop over a little with the Sig), I'll go for my P99AS. If I need deeper concealment or something that's really unobtrusive, I'll grab for my P99C AS. My Glock 19 does nothing but sit in my desk safe at work in the event that I happen to not have something on my waist and need to grab for something to protect myself.
Other stuff that I have at my disposal for carry purposes are a Compact Wilson Combat CQB in .45 and a Sig Sauer P245 if I want something that has a little more punch than what my 9mm carry companions offer. I also have a few full size 1911's in .45 that tend to be more for range shooting as opposed to carry due to their size and I have a couple of P226's that get nightstand duty with a TLR-1S mounted to the rail.
I really find that I don't have any real use for the Glock 19 as I just don't like its ergonomics, but at the same time, it does have the super scary, if we're to believe the media, soon to be restricted 33 round clipazines too. So it does have some novelty value for me. So what say you fine folks, keep the 19 as "you should have at least one Glock" gun or let it go in favor of an HK, Sig, or 1911 that will definitely find a place in my collection?
