Hey all,
I am a recent convert form the Sig world, and after just having sold my SP2022, I am finally ready to buy a Glock. I had owned the SP2022 9mm since last fall, and put about 850 rounds through it, chasing consistency and accuracy. I could be very accurate with it a the start of a mag, then taper off to a down/left drop-off and never get any consistent shots through a whole magazine. I fought with it for months, then shot my brother's G23—and the first 6 shots went into a 1" target at 25'. Frankly, I don't think I'm as bad as the Sig was showing, nor as good as the Glock made me feel after a test drive.
Regardless, the G23 experience tapped a vein and here I am.
So I am ready to pull the trigger, so-to-speak, and complete my purchase for a new Glock 9mm. I was dead set on a G19, only waffling between the grip comfort of a Gen3 and the other improvements of a Gen4. Then on a whim, I picked up a G17 recently at a Gander Mountain while window shopping. Chocolate or vanilla? Too bad I can't get a twist, it would make my life so much easier.
I'm all knotted up trying to decide, and no, I can't just buy both (though I would love to do so). I know I will likely someday own both, just not right now. So where do I go?
My uses are almost 100% target/range. I do NOT intend to CC this pistol, and they both felt glove-like while holding. Either one would make me grin like a kid on Christmas, but I can't decide.
For any of you who own both, what did you buy first? For those of you who had to decide between the two and only have one, which one did you buy, and why?
Thanks for the help, guys,
Doug
