I used to carry a 2.25" sp101 then changed to a Gen 3 Glock 23 for the sole fact I could shoot it far more accurate. I then picked up this Gen 2 Glock 17 and love the lack of finger grooves. This is my sole carry gun and I will only be changing when I find a Gen 2 Glock 19. These people who alternate between a revolver, SA hammer fired handgun with a safety, and then a striker fired polymer handgun with no safety must have great muscle memory and a lot of experience in the field to know they won't "forget" what they need to do if they ever need it. For me it's just point and shoot, same handgun every time. Loaded with 124+p HSTs and backed up by a Streamlight Stylus Pro and a Ganzo G704
