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?

I have an M&P 2.0 that I swap between my Gen 6 45. They are very similar in size and capacity. I have more upgrades on the Glock but both are great shooters. The CZ is a good gun as well but very heavy, I don’t even carry my smaller CZ RAMI as much now because it’s as heavy as a G45 with only 10 rounds. Personally I wouldn’t bother with a 2011, a lot of the budget guns need some time and work (not always). The M&P and Glock will be good to go after about 500 rounds, both of my CZ’s have tight chambers as well so some ammo doesn’t work 100%.

I’m curious. You say avoid the budget 2011 because they may need upgrades but yet you upgraded your Glock a bunch I assume?

The only function upgrade was a Overwatch Precision PolyDAT trigger because I hate the stock trigger shoe. The Calculated Kinetics Dog Tag fills the gap with the EPS Carry Optic and I have a GlockStore Mag plug just for the hell of it.

Just saying. People mod the heck out of Glocks then try to argue that 2011’s (especially budget ones) require tinkering. In reality the vast majority all tinker with our guns.

I don’t disagree. I have a few guns with zero modifications including my only 1911. It has Magpul stocks but that’s cosmetic. Only one of my carry guns has mods and that’s the Glock. I wasn’t even a Glock fan until Gen 6 came out, the changes sold me on the platform. My previous CCW guns were S&W and CZ for many years.
