I agree completely that it really comes down to the shooter's training and technique most of all. As I posted somewhere else a few days ago, there is less accuracy difference between the worst and best gun than there is between a "so-so" and a "good" shooter. That said, when I was shopping for a new carry gun, it really came down to two issues -

1. How does the grip feel in MY hand. After all, I'm the one shooting it, right.

2. Which gun seemed more instinctive in quickly acquiring a proper sight picture. Yes, the technique can get refined with practice, but if I have a choice of starting out about 90% there or starting out about 70% there with a gun - the choice is pretty clear.

I literally held and pointed dozens of guns while trying to answer these two questions. For me, in both cases, the answer was the G23. The gun just feels right to me. I'm not knocking anything else out there, but it really is hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of the Glock and the 23 sure feels just about perfect in my hand.
