Kind of new to all this, but from the newbie perspective, I've gravitated towards the S&W line instead of the Glocks. We have a G19, but it looks like a stapler with a handle, and feels like I'm holding a brick.

The M&P is sexier, and with the APEX, the trigger is better than the Glock. I put the 3.5 connector and comp springs in the glock, but it still feels like a revolver (ok, just half the distance).

We use the G19 for HD, since it is reliable. The M&P is for USPSA/IPSC and the 1911PC is for IDPA.
