I'm 53 years old. I love my revolvers. Still have a model 66-2 4" barrel I bought in 1985 when I turned 21. I had been out of shooting for a couple decades. Got back into it as my children became adults and started moving out.

In January 2016, I bought an SP101 with 3" barrel (.357). Thought if I ever wanted to carry (hiking,etc.) this would be a good choice. And I always wanted one since they were introduced in '89.

January 2017, I'm at the range with a couple guys in my shooting group. I shot their Glocks - a 17 and a 42. First time I ever shot a Glock. I was hitting better with both compared to my SP101 (or my 6906).

In March 2017 I bought a Glock 43. I just started to carry more regularly a few weeks go. I carry the Glock 43. Easier to conceal/slimmer profile - even with a Pearce +1 or Vickers +2. And I'm more accurate with it. I like the trigger on it (compared to the SP101). Also, I do not want to carry anything with a barrel less than 3" for accuracy and velocity.

Even though studies show I might only need 3 rounds in a "situation" -the fact that I can go 7+1 or 8+1 is a bonus compared to the Ruger's 5.

Again, I love my 66 and my SP101 - but the Glock 43 IWB just makes more sense for me if/when I carry. Now if I'm in the desert, the SP101 OWB or my 66 in a shoulder holser might be preferred choices.

The single 9's will not replace my revolvers, but the single nine Glock 43 makes more sense for me for EDC.
