After many, many years of shooting and semi's I bought my first GLOCK. I was not disappointed.

Post back here when you have everything figured out. Pics are always appreciated!

If you're looking for specific comments you may have your mind made up already.
Regarding the Witness, it is a clone-like CZ with all the ergonomics that go with it. If you like the feel of the CZ I guarantee you'll also like the Witness. Only trouble is finding them in the wild.
I have no experience whatsoever with the G40 or the 10mm cartridge. I own one and only one Glock, a Gen 4 G19. I hated Glocks for ~25 years before I finally got around to buying one. I will not part with my G19 any time soon.Does anyone either own or have experience with the Glock G40? If so, how well would you say the pistol is balanced and handles the recoil? I don't ask that meaning I'm afraid of the recoil, but rather meaning how much or little does it affect target acquisition (if at all)? How well does the Glock design handle such a high compression round?
Admittedly, I've never owned or shot a Glock which is why I'm posting this and asking. I'm also open to hear any other experiences with 10mm handguns made by other manufacturers. But I've heard multiple Glock owners describe the Glock as the "AK of pistols" speaking to it's reliability thanks to it's design. So I'm reaching out to people who own Glocks to help me in making this decision.
I honestly can't say it enough as to how humbled I feel as to all the both quick and almost text book style informative content. More so as a new member (I've seen many large community sites where people treat new members as possible patient zero of the zombie apocalypse and apply some kind of unspoken quarantine time to be sure you're worth talking to).
Luckily for me, between my fluid evolution of knowledge and understanding granted by all the contributions here as well as other threads I've been reading...and my wife, who is my grounding rock getting tired of me running my desktop computer via Bluetooth to the tv in our bedroom and shouting out "Look at this one, baby!" every 20 minutes (hehe) she's gotten involved and has been applying her Google Fu to the internet for me. And she is agreeing to a possibility I made reference to earlier in that it's better to just drop an extra couple of bills and get both a Glock and a Witness. Of course, she has selfish reasons as well her being just as much an avid and skilled shooter as anyone here (seriously, I don't shoot pistols with my wife anymore. She'll make you throw away guns pissed off at the world....lol), as well as she is the one of the two of us who is really into CZs. As I said, I didn't even know what a CZ was until I met her and she showed me her CZ collection. So, it'll give me two options to acclimate myself to....and motivation to master the Glock as it's an unspoken understanding that due to it's similarities to the CZ the Witness is going to be her 10mm that I can borrow if I want.
And yes....I fully admit I am the luckiest man walking this earth, because I have the coolest of the cool for a wife.
