Well I started my "plastic" gun experience earlier this year after being primarily a 1911 guy. First was a G26. Liked it "ok" but didn't love it. Then I ran into a like new G27 that I couldn't pass up. Could not shoot the 27 to save myself...The 26 shot ok but had to really concentrate on grip as I have small hands. Then I ended up getting a 40c on the last day of the $50 reabate. I can shoot circles around my (now sold) 26 and (soon to be sold) 27. I do like how glocks are made and all the hoslter options available. However when it comes down to hitting a target and "Feel", the 40c is a big time winner for me.
