My First Was An Xd .45 And I Liked It But My Chief Deputy Groseclose Said If I Planned On Getting Into Comps. I Would Need A Glock For Thier Superior Barrels And And Overall Parts Avail. I Got A G21..i Had Some Getting Used To With The Much Fatter Grip But I Found That The Fat Grip Actaully Placed My Trigger Finger In The Right Spot And Kept It There With Each Shot..i Love It And Am Most Accurate With It...but Thats Because I Ve Dry-fired It A Go-gillion Times. Great Choice...though I Am Now Buy The New Combat Elite From Colt...and I May Carry It On Duty..cuz Its Sexy
concerning glocks - there was an equipment listing for the IDPA nationals last year at USSA. (i think i have the name right). anyway listed the number of bags, hearing protection, eye wear brands, etc. and the number of each type of gun that was shot. want to guess what the leader was. glock 34, about 76 shooters shot them and then the glock 17, about 34 people shot those. by far the most popular gun/brand shot. the next highest gun was like 10, then 7and then 4. only one guy shot a XD and there were not that many 1911s. so these were guys driving far and spending money to compete on the national shoot - i bet many could shoot whatever they wanted - they chose glock. that is telling me something. (the count of 1911 might be down in IDPA because of the lower amount of rounds their mags hold causing mags to be switched out and adding to your time).
i have a friend that is a kimber man. 1911 man, he thinks all glocks, xd, and m&p are junk. been trying to get him out to a IDPA shoot and join the real world. to be honest, i have seen a lot of jams with 1911s even the expensive ones. glocks simply work. kind of the AK47 of the handgun world.
you will grow to like your glock.

That says a lot. Good point.
Getting a new gun is always a good thing, so congrats. Reliability will be quite good. Getting a Glock is even better, because it's so much fun to upgrade as you go along to a better pistol - and it will retain most of its value, so it won't hurt to upgrade. :p
Up grade to what? In your opinion.
welcome to the glock side develope your knowledge of the force
