I’ve talked with glock owners that say they have shot hundreds of rounds in the same day and never had a mal.
There are pros and cons with the 9 vs 40. The biggest for me is ammo cost.
Practice , practice, can be expensive, but it’s a MUST.
Although aware, I’m not overly concerned with the pass-through potential of the 9 if loaded with a good JHP. I will admit the 40 is on my list. Much depends on if I elect to carry.
Here’s something that may interest you, 45 vs 9… http://www.hipowersandhandguns.com/9mm%20vs%2045.htm
BTW what is your store price on the 19 an 23? | I've put around 2000 rounds through my Smith without a malfuntion. Glocks are the ame way in that sense. Comparatively, 9mm ammo is cheaper and you are right about a JHP. Gold dots or Silver tips are good.
We have Glocks for $496.47. Most other polymer handguns are right around the the 450-500 dollar range. The H&K is of course more at $769. Good luck with whatever you decide on.
