Just get a Homers...
...are the worst.
Steve is dead on, as usual.
Fit is everything with a firearm. I'd add eyesight to the list of changes. Also, as my skills have progressed, I've become less enamored with some of the accessories and customizations, etc. Some helped me along the road, and that was fine, but they are becoming less necessary.
Anybody that says just get a "fill-in-the-blank" based on their own biases ignores the fundamental truth that Steve communicates. I can't say just get a "fill-in-the-blank" shoe to anyone because I have no idea what unique attributes their feet may entail, if they have some medical issue which requires a unique orthodic, etc. The same is true for firearms.
I'm a Glock guy. I have other brands, and have owned or tried most that are out there. I've practiced hard. My best open carry draw is under .9, and I typically score pretty wall on the standards CoF (e.g. Gunsite, Federal Air Marshall, etc.). I've done splits as low as .14 in a shoot house and with a G-34 in a simple OWB nearly outscored my teacher running an open 1911 that he probably spent 4 digits having customized. I practice 50M Headshots off-hand against a timer (with my carry piece which is a G-26). More often than not, I can hit the 6x6 well in of an IPSC/IDPA target.
My skills are hard earned and perishable if I don't keep my skills sharp. It has nothing to do with the brand name of the mfg. I use Glocks, have tailored them for my needs. I know shooters who do very well (MUCH better than I) using other platforms. It's not the blaster, it's the shooter.
Safe Shooting,
