Don't get into the oh, I gotta go hunt every polymer pistol P320/VP9/M&P/PPQ/APX/P10C/FNS9/WTF/BBQ before I choose what I want to buy and feel them type of deal. It just encourages indecision and analysis paralysis.
People get so fucking wrapped up on finding the """perfect""" gun right off the bat and never get to a level of any noticeable proficiency. A Glock 19, a good set of sights and a bunch of ammo will serve you better as you will then develop a preference for a different gun later on which you can sell the Glock 19.
I don't even carry or really shoot mine, I use pic for all my defensive shooting needs.
