Let me start by saying I was a Glock detractor. I'd shot a friend's and wasn't impressed with it. There was nothing about them I liked, I was a BHP and 1911 guy. Some friends of mine were raving about the Glock, so I traded my last BHP for a 19, which is arguably their most popular model, just to really see what they were about. I really like it. In fact, I'm really surprised how much I like it, yes even the trigger. Enough to get a 26 for more discreet carry. Then I started using the 19 in IDPA matches instead of my 1911 and just lately picked up a 17 too for that role.
Get the Glock 19.
