I come on here to offer up advice and now I'm looking into buying a Ruger RXM. And so it continues...

Ask @Lazyfaire about Ruger rxm vs grand power Q1. I think he has/had both.

I sold off the RXM and love the Grand Power Q1. pistol

Does the Grand Power take Glock mags? That's the big attraction to me.

No takes steel mags not Glock ones

Yep comes with 3 mags (probably mecgar). Apparently the GP mags work in cz-75 but not the other way around unless you make a mag catch hole in the cz-75 mags. Taylor freelance mag extenders for cz-75 mags apparently do work on the GP mags.

CZ p-10 series are seriously underrated. Good ergo, Good trigger otb. Usually around $300ish. Can't beat the cost-performance value.

G26 OR VP9SK. Just my .02.

 

[davesgotguns]

I would too. I had their VP9 and was less than impressed. There's also the P2000.

I'm contemplating trading an sig for a vp9. How come the general consensus for them is meh?

 

[spookshack]

yeah see thats entirely what I'm caught up on too with the p365 fuse, xmacro etc.

I love mine...but...$40 mags hurt when you're used to sub $20 Glock mags
If I could afford to completely switch platforms I would, but 20 years of collecting Glock stuff is hard to walk away from. HKs are great guns, but they will have less aftermarket support and generally cost more to outfit compared to most other brands. That said, if I was starting from scratch, I wouldn't hesitate.

IThe left handed slide release seems like an afterthought, As stated, in the post I quoted, if going HK I would choose a hammer fired gun. Don't get me wrong it's a quality gun but I bought it as a potential replacement to my Glocks, ended up keeping the Glocks and moving the VP9.

I'm not a huge striker-fire pistol fan, but I have a number of Glocks, most of which have had some trigger work done on them. Got the VP9 as the best out of the box striker-fire I could find. Really like it and I personally think it is the best factory striker-fire trigger I've used.

That said, I do like the HK LEM trigger on the P30 and P2000. Long first stroke though.

I see no issue with the OEM Glock triggers.

Different strokes. Have bought new and used Glocks, various models and calibers. Still own a few. Not one of them had a decent feeling trigger out of the box. But I grew up on Sigs and 1911s, so I like a smooth non-gritty feeling trigger. Have a few CZ that have been to CZ Custom and their triggers are incredible for a DA/SA. Obviously a striker-fired gun isn't going to be anything like that, but I like something better than a Glock.

Well I'm poor so…. I also prefer reliability.

That's the other thing about Glocks... in my experience they are best kept completely stock to maintain excellent reliability. Although I had two Made in USA models and quickly sold them. But otherwise yes, they are solid, reliable guns.

None of my internals get changed. But every single Glock I own has a potential of being in my carry rotation. I also own and shoot Glocks specifically. Have been doing so for decades now so I'm a bit stuck in my ways.

Definitely not the best trigger. Or even a great trigger. Ugly. Cheap. And a minimal amount of moving parts that I can count on my fingers without removing my shoes. They work for me. There isn't another gun out there that I would have complete confidence in buying and immediately racking a round and putting it in my waistband. Not that I suggest doing so. But if I had to pick a gun to go that route it would be a Glock and for good reason.

People hate Glock. And I get it. Totally fine with me. But it has yet to let me down so I see no point in changing. Plus I'd rather have 6-7 Glocks or a couple Glocks and a ton of ammo or a few training courses than a single 2011. But that's just me. Like you said. Different strokes.

Excellant response thank you
