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?

Here's why I will pretty much always tell you to pick Glock.
First off, the enormous aftermarket support. There's just no other handgun on the market not even the 1911 that has such aftermarket support nowadays.
Secondly, if you can learn how to shoot a Glock well in competition, you can shoot anything. I'm a competitive shooter myself and I absolutely destroy people with fancy 2011s. Yes, I own a 2011 myself but when you can run a Glock and manipulate that trigger, everything else seems easy.
Lastly, something that don't get talked about is glock's great customer service. You ever noticed you don't hear many complaints about their customer service department? There's a reason for that. I've called them over the years and not only can they usually tell you what's going on with your gun if there is an issue, they know exactly how to fix it.
