Glock 19

The problem with that mag release is that it's not standard in the USA so, if your training involves magazine changes such as competition or non-static range sessions, you have to train on two different platforms.

Notice that the competition models of both HK VP9 and Walther PPQ (rebranded as Q5) use the standard magazine release precisely because few wanted to retrain with a different release that, among other things, changes the natural angle where the barrel is pointed during reloads.

Pretty much correct. The green & camo VP9 is my shooter/training/competition gun. While I'm fortunate enough that my thumb can reach the paddle magazine release so I don't have to retrain and use my index finger, I still prefer a button. It just feels more natural and I'm probably a few milliseconds faster with a standard button.

I guess I could always do this....

Maybe you're just weird

Maybe. Lol

Yes, the Walther PDP is also a good choice.

I prefer 3 dot sights, so I switched out to Trijicons on all of my non MOS 19s
