I’ve pretty much come to the conclusion that, other than they don’t make a .22LR, there isn’t much a Glock of one moder or another can’t do for me. In public, I generally carry a G26 or a G19 unless I want something smaller, and then it’s a Shield (until I get my G43X). In the woods, my G23 or G21. I’m up to 9 at this point...my wife thinks they breed in the safe.
I shoot them all pretty well...I trust them all to shoot whatever ammo I feed them right out of the box, and while I’ve bought a bunch of replacement mag springs, I’ve never needed to change a single one yet. I used to change my recoil springs too...just because someone said to...I quit that too. Waiting for some sign of trouble fron ANY of my Glock’s...none yet. Some have only a couple thousand rounds through them...a few have over 10K rounds. My first Glock, a G23, has over 28K rounds with only one hiccup...a “kaboom” while shooting reman ammo at around 5K round point. Bought a fully supported barrel from KKM and not another malfunction of any kind.
I have a couple XD’s and Shields that have also been boringly reliable as well, but as long as Glock offers their Blue Label pricing, I’m gonna keep buying them. They are ridiculously easy to completely tear down to raw parts and clean and maintain. OEM replacement parts are cheap to buy (I have spare parts on hand...but they sit in my workbench gathering dust). Aftermarket parts are plentiful and widely available. Magazines are priced well too.
I enjoy shooting my Beretta and 1911 from time to time, but neither is anywhere close to a “go to” gun for me. I toyed with the idea of branching out to a Sig, but decided if I ever fill my “DASA itch, it will likely be with a CZ”
Just my $0.02 that you got for free, on an internet gun forum.
YMMV.
