I am obviously preaching to the choir here, but a Glock will be my next gun. I own some Glocks, (21 and a 17), obviously otherwise I wouldn't be here, but I've been looking into the compact 9mm market lately, and I keep coming back to the Glock 19 Gen 4. At the moment price was my deciding factor as money is a bit tight, so I was looking at the Smith and Wesson SD9VE, and the Ruger 9E, SR9c and the American pistol, but I just keep coming back to Glock.
There's so many aftermarket parts and support and tutorials on how to do just about anything to your Glock. There's holsters, magazines, lights, barrels, etc.
I was thinking of the S&W SD9VE, as it's a $379 pistol, but I tried the trigger and it kinda sucks. I would have to replace the trigger and springs most likely. Apex has a trigger and spring kit for $60 total, but if I'm going to put $60 more dollars into a $400ish pistol, I might as well just spring for a Glock.
The Ruger American and SR9c are good pistols, but for $500, I might as well pay the extra $40 for a Glock 19 Gen 4 and have the huge aftermarket support.
Another thing that I like about Glock is the choices are simple. You have standard size, compact, subcompact and slimline (I'll leave out the longslide and competition models). Some other companies (S&W) have way too many options (M&P, M&P 2.0, manual safety, etc.) and even Ruger American pistol has the compact and duty size with various capacities and with or without manual safety.
Just the Glock pistol itself, figuring out which Glock you want or need is easy.
That's why I love Glock
