I am a Glock man, as I have said before my favorite guns are the Glock 36/30 SF Hybrid in 45 ACP and my daily carry guns the Glock 26 and 19.
I decided I was going to try some different guns this week because I sold my Glock 23 and having some additional cash I decided to maybe buy something different. I looked at the Sig 229, HK P30, XD 4 inch, S&W M&P 9mm 4 inch and even a S&W 1911 PD commander.
So I shot the Sig 226 and 229 and considering that I used to carry a Sig 228 and 229 before I switched to the Glocks almost 20 years ago I thought I was going to like them again, but surprise I did not because even in 9mm the muzzle flip of the Sig was much more pronounced then the Glock. Also the Sig was bigger, heavier and bulkier with less capacity then the Glock 19 unless I bought some after market mags from Mec Gar.
The other factor was the different trigger on the Sig DA/SA which I could get used to but it was different never less.
The HK P30 fit my hand great better then anything but it was also bigger and bulkier then the G19 and the same went for the XD and both with their higher bore axis had more muzzle flip then my Glocks. I also heard that HK's customer service left a lot to be desired by a friend that had huge problems with them when his P30 broke down.
The M&P was another great fit and the gun was very nice, I might still consider it some day, but all in all none of the guns I tried and shot came to be as good as my Glocks.
So for the time being I bought 2000 rounds of Speer Lawman 9mm and will also buy some 45 ACP training ammo and keep the rest of the money in my pocket.
Now I do not work for Glock and I understand that people have their own preferences and to each his own, this are only my observations as they apply to me take it for what they are worth.
As I said the only gun I would consider to add to my guns is maybe an M&P 9mm in a 4 inch barrel which I might still do and if I do I shall ask you guys what improvements I should do to it when the time comes.:)
