Good choices… but …
The best choice is what fits their hands, needs, budget and what they actually want to continue to shoot and learn with .. among other items

What we like, may not be best for others.. take your Glock for example

All guns are not created equal……if you want perfection…..get a Glock….

I think it's a good list. Much better than what I was expecting out of a " Best" list.

Out of those I put that HK quite a bit above the rest. Then the Sig, then the S&Ws.

All serious though, a co worker asked me to go with him and pick out a self defense handgun. New buyer. Shotgun and deer rifle owner.

We looked at his Top 3 choices he had read about. Usual big brands.
He handled and test fired from the rentals our Top 10 recommendations based on his needs to the RO and I.
He ended up buying his choice #4 on his list (another big name) after doing extremely well shooting it.
He said it just felt right and more natural to him over the other guns.

Voila !!

It's a good primer, a place to start looking and trying to find what's right to you.

Well first I thought knowing @Annihilator its another article on his love of 0.004 watt plasma ray gun or Yeet canons then after I read the article ok sounds good then of course out come the male chickens, I mean Glocks, the man is obsessed. ‍♂

Ok as @KillerFord1977 said in his post it’s all in what works for the individual.

Guess we’ll both disagree and carry a Hi Point instead as a truce

I’ll pass on the yeets….after all your talking to @Annihilator not @10mmLife

BTW…… @10mmLife bought his first Glock……well sorta…..

In all honesty, my picks would be the S&W 686 and Glock 19, I no longer have my VP9, didn’t really like it

 

[javbike]

No Glock here I like that sw mp 9

I can just imagine the spellcheck now, what a nightmare.

Umm…read this article slowly and carefully, paying attention to statements & conclusions derived thereof. It’s tripe, imho…
Even allowing for the Glock’s enduring popularity (which I’ll always grant; it has several appealing attributes) the author(s) build their case around their conclusions (ie, what they already like).
