But are you smart enough to know the difference between "to" and "too?"
Glock 9mm pistols are the heat. They are legendary in their reliability, ease of maintenance, simplicity and durability. Although there may be a better platform for other calibers, I believe the Glock is a gold standard in 9mm, and every time I see a new 9mm pistol, I ask myself what it does that the G19 can't do. So far, NO pistol with such a high capacity (15+1) even comes close to the compact size, light weight, easy carryability, reliability, simplicity, available accessories, reputation, and durability of the Glock 19. None of them.
The other guys may have a safety lever, or a little thinner grip, or be made of steel or aluminum....and that's fine, as far as personal preference goes. Something else might suit individual tastes a little better, but from a standpoint of function and "real world" use in the field, nothing beats a Glock 9mm. There are over 8,000,000 Glocks in service worldwide, and it is one of the most popular choices of armed professionals who go into harms way here and around the world. If it's not the "best," it sure as hell is tied for 1st place!
If I could only have one pistol for the rest of my life, something that had to serve as home defense, concealed carry, service pistol, range toy and emergency game getter, it would without a doubt be the G19 FTW!
