    second handgun?

    I currently own a G19 and love it (however I will be sending off to resize and texture the grip shortly because i can't hit the mag release without changing my grip). Now it is time for my second hangun. Im selling my p220 combat because i just cant get used to the first double action pull and plus i like the simplicity of the glock/m&p. Here are the 4 handguns i will be choosing from:

    -G21sf
    -M&P45 full size
    -G17
    -M&P9 full size

    So do i go 45 or 9? Do i go glock or m&p?

    What would be some reasons for getting another handgun if i already like my G19 (other than the fact that i really want one)?

    Here are some things to note:
    -i shot the m&p45 better than the i shot the 21sf
    -should i consolidate and only go Glock in 9mm?
    -i like 9mm because its cheap
    - i hear that m&p's are better than glocks for larger calibers and vice versa. Why??

    M&P first ......then Glock.... Eventually you will buy both.. It is a lose-lose situation here.

      you could just put a extended mag release on your glock. help to reach the mag release better.

      i have own both, i would pick up the M&P and see how it feels. the grips are alot different. if i had to choose i would go with the M&P because it feels real nice in my hand. with loads .45 acp.

        Do you own a shotgun? Sounds like you have a good solid handgun.

            if you want a second handgun and like the platform of your G19... consider sticking with Glock on your next purchase.

              If you really like the Glock then I'd consider a G34. Otherwise I would go M&P9 just for variety sake. I would stick with 9mm unless you start getting into 1911s that is

                Here is your chance to correct the mistake of buying a Glock first. You should get a .22lr next.

                      Why get another full size? Go for Kahr PM9 as a BUG

                          People are funny these days. OP asked which gun to buy next from the list he provided. You guys recommend him shotguns, revolver, subcompact, etc...

                            second on the wheel gun...
                            m&p is a great lookin gun.. however i just cant get behind them.. randomly chambering the first round when loading a fresh mag is just not ok with me.
                            Boy the way Glen Miller played, songs that made the hit parade, guys like us we had it made, those were the days, and you know where you were then, girls were girls and men were men, mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again, didn't need no welfare states everybody pulled his weight, gee our old Lasalle ran great, those were the days!

                            who wants a fishtank?

                              Go G21SF from your list for a 45. Personally, I would get a another 9mm G34 instead of the G17. The size comparison between your G19 to a G17 is not much of a difference.
