I've really been thinking about trading my XDM compact for a Glock 19

I like it. It isn't the end all and be all of handguns, but it's reliable, pretty snag free, simple to operate and maintain and accurate. No the trigger isn't ideal and it doesn't have Olympic quality accuracy, but it's more than enough for what it's designed to be. It's a good design and meets my needs. I'm thinking about getting a Gen 4, but I am also content with my Gen 3 models and with the gun buying frenzy going on I'm thinking I'll just stay with what I've got.

Anyway I know there are many good designs out there and some of the newer ones are better in some aspects. But I'm familiar with the Glock. I shoot it well and I trust it. So I'll stick with it. Same reason why you still can find the ocassional grey-haired old cop still carrying a S&W Model 10 revolver. Because he knows it can shoot it and trusts it.

The only real think I like about the Gen 4 Glocks is the enlarged mag release button. I like it over the previous models.

1morey, just to clarify do you want an automatic or a revolver? You comment about not wanting anything above a .357 made me wonder. If you are looking for a revolver, how about a Ruger SP101.
