I have to say my first gun was Glock 23 and I have not regretted the decision at all. I also now have a G21 as well and I love that one as well. I like the Glock's but have been looking at Springfields and S&W but I will say that even with this that there seem to be a lot of firearms that have copied from Glock. There seems to be a reason for that but as was stated earlier just about anything bought now days will do the job and be reliable. I would love to get some of the new handguns but my Glocks will always be the old standby
