I'm not a Glock fanboy, but I've been issued them and used them for decades ... G17, G19, G22, G23, G26, G27, G30SF. Tons of training and field use turned me into a believer of the Glock as a valid, reliable tool for self defense.

Are they perfect? No ... there is no perfect firearm. Is there a better semi-auto pistol platform out there that beats a Glock? Not in my professional and personal experience. I've owned (and still own) different makes/models/calibers of handguns. However, my choice for concealed carry during -- and post-professional experience -- is a Glock. I currently carry a G26 and a G30SF.

For the record, I personally recommend sticking to a 9mm or 45 ACP Glock, as the 40 S&W has proven to beat up their pistols pretty bad over time. All of these rounds are effective for both personal defense and target shooting, but I'm just speaking about the overall wear-and-tear of your pistol.

I don't own a Glock but have been considering.

I currently carry a Colt Defender .45 1911.  My absolute favorite, but the thing is heavy.

A am also a big fan of my Sig Sauer P238 and P239 for concealment

Glocks are a good gun, easily available parts/accessaries very reliable, and easy to strip clean.  You really can't go wrong with a Glock its just a really all-around good gun but their are a lot of better pistol makers out at the same or lower price nowadays.

Other than reliability the Glocks suffer inn several areas. First is their sights which are the first thing folks usually upgrade and next is the trigger which by many is considered average at best and also the barrel if you want some improvement inaccuracy. The Glock does everything good but nothing great except for its reliability which is about as good as it gets.  I like and also own them, my duty pistol was 17 and my concealed was a 19.

HK rocks! On a side note, I do miss my Sig P229. I had the conversion parts to run it for both 357 Sig and 40 S&W. I traded it to an NYPD officer for a G26 years ago. Fun fact ... I bought a surplus police Beretta 96D and converted it to an M9 using USGI parts last year. Smooth gun ... love the Beretta!

Nothing wrong with a 1911. I used to own one, but as you said, it was a bit heavy to carry concealed. I sold it off and invested in other firearms.

I do miss my Sig P229. :( I should have kept that one.

My first issued S&W was a model 65-3 .357 magnum revolver. When we switched to the Glock, I was able to buy it from the agency. I still have it to this day. ?

Side note: it was a bitch to carry concealed back in the day. lol

What is your preferred IWB holster.  I currently have a couple of Crossbreed hybrid (leather/kydex) holsters and have been pretty happy with them....they can tend to pinch a little from time to time.

As a reloader I hate some of the brass I have received that was fired by Glocks and there unsupported chamber.  They can leave a big bulge in the lower section of the case where it isn’t supported.  Don’t really trust resizing and loading that brass.
