I recently purchased a G19 Gen4 and love shooting it.I'm using the standard grip and find that it is comfortable. I'll probably try the larger grip to see the difference and how my long fingers fit. I like the trigger and have no use for an external safety so this is working out for me. I've shot 200 - 300 rounds of varying types through it so far. I am starting to think about the caliber and manufacturer for my next semi and will be looking at the G21 and M&P 45ACP for comparison. The Glock plant in GA told me on the phone that the G21 Gen4 is currently estimated to be available for shipping in April 2011 so I've got some time to try out the Gen3 version and compare to the M&P at Shore Shot. I was leaning toward the M&P until I found out about the G21 Gen4 plans. I really like the G19 Gen4 when compared to the Gen3 I had tried out. A 3 month extension on my remaining permit should work out just fine.

You've already bought the best all around 9mm Glock IMO. Are you set on another semi-auto? If not a 4" 357 Magnum is about the best all around handgun AFAIC. If you learn the trigger on a DA revolver everything else is easy.

Yup, GP100 or a 686 should do it!

I agree. I have a several 4" 357s, S&W 19, Taurus 669, and GP100. I carried a S&W 19, M66, and 686 as a duty gun and the Ruger is my favorite.

I was going to suggest a 1911. I have an HKP30 and pick up the 1911 next week. Also thinking of picking up a Beretta 92 series since they made me wait so long.

I like semi's for the higher magazine capacity.

I should also try out a 1911 at Shore Shot.

The customer service person I spoke to at Glock has indicated that the blue label Gen4 G21 guns are going to start shipping next week.

Have you rented a g21 to see if you like it?

If you do look at 1911's. I checked out a Sig 1911 C3 and it was sweet. I don't have personal experience with this model, but it felt awesome in the hands. Nice sights, very smooth racking the slide, and a sweet trigger.
