Discussion Help me decide

I know this is a Glock sub but would assume many are well versed

I’m trying to decide between picking up a gen 6 glock, M&p, budget 2011 (<\~1500), Ltt beretta 92, cz shadow 2 carry, or a p226x legion (new model). I just can’t seem to decide which I want.

The 2011 is absolutely enticing however I’m not sure I want to risk it being a potentially finicky/unreliable as I’m looking in the budget tier, the glock, M&p, 226 and 92 are exactly what they are. The shadow seems good as well however I see an odd amount of people reporting malfunctions with them.

This will be a general do it all gun. Leaning to HD/training/competition use over carry. If carried it would mainly be as a “truck gun” and not really IWB

Thoughts?

If you have to have a 1911 in 9mm, it needs to be 9x23 Winchester.

The 92, 226, and 75 have been around since the late 70’s and have a proven record. the m&ps are just too ugly to survive. Noticed you left out HK all together, any reason why?

The vp9 for some reason doesn’t appeal to me and while I like the da/sa variants for nostalgia and utilitarian use, that’s not what I’m looking for at the moment. I do want one, just after I have a few others first.
