You can never have too many of any make.

I gave up on Glocks years ago. Three main problems with them: mushy trigger pull, yes you can make it lighter but you can't make it not mushy (unless you use one of the CCF metal frames, but really, when you get to that point it's time to admit defeat).
They still put plastic sights on them after all these years of complaints about the front sight getting mangled, so you have to spend extra money to keep your sight picture consistent, plus the front sight is staked, not dovetailed, which is gruesomely annoying.
The 9mm/.40/.357 models crack their slides, because the serial number stamping under the ejection port weakens the slide, and I've lost count of the number of cracked Glock slides I've seen that have cracked in that spot. All they'd have to do is move the stamp further forward, but I'm sure they don't because then everyone would ask why.
Oh yeah, and the breechface looks like it was cut with a Mongolian horseshoe grinder, although that is more of an aesthetic problem.
Irritating problems that could be easily fixed just put me off Glocks, makes me thinks they must either (a) be stupid or (b) too scared to admit their mistakes.

I have shot the M&P in 9mm. It's ok but, nothing special. I much prefer the Glock 17. I am thinking of getting the G26 in 9mm and/or the G20 in 10mm.
If I go overseas I should like to take this along if it were only possible. Privates do not get pistols unless they are drivers etc. Here is my G17.

I've only got two hands so my 12(6) G19 and 3rd Gen G17 are all I need.
don't have anything to contribute to this thread, but stevo, that hat is hilarious, might i ask where you got it from?
After all the other brands of pistols Ive come back to the basic Glock in 9mm. Great overall pistols for my purposes. G17, G17,G17, G19,G34
How many is too many?
Id get a G26 (12.6) if I could find one ....
If it fits well in your hand and you can shoot accurately, buy at least
two. One or more for spare parts.
I've tried Glock 17, it was too light and the grip was "too square",
it just did not fit well in my hand. Weird trigger, hard to control recoil
and follow up shots, but like with everything, with practice I'm sure you can master it.
I shot ok grouping, but when I tried Sigs and CZs there was no comparison with Glocks.
I assume you already tried and fired Sigs and CZs, if not, you should.
