I still shoot a 90 year old 38 Super because I do like Colt products in general.
Maybe for me it is a "grass is greener" situation.
I think that you need to look at the 6920 as a good beginner platform.
The AR15, and, I'd imagine, the AK, are really the first readily available modular firearms. With minimal skills and equipment one can build a completely personalized, and most importantly, functional rifle, within a reasonable, or, extravagant budget, whichever you please.
Even with the plethora of after market parts and support available for handguns such as the Glocks, the M&P's, etc., you cannot as easily build one from the frame up close to or cheaper than you can buy a factory pistol (I left the 1911 out because of cost and the fact that it takes somewhat more mechanical/technical experience to put together a safe and reliable one).
Think of the 6920 as a Glock 17 - a firearm which will give you reliable service as is, or an excellent starting point for modifications to make the firearm more suitable for specific uses. If you leave it bone stock, you haven't made a mistake. Likewise, if you tear it down to bare receivers and start over, or choose to do it a little at a time, you still haven't made a mistake.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
