"Better, best", it's all REALLY subjective. I acknowledge that Glock's are great pistols, but they really just don't blow my skirt up.
These days there are a bunch of truly outstanding pistols out there. I think there's so much "hive mind" that are stuck on Glocks, that some are missing out on some pistols that could possibly be better fits for them.
I have never been crazy about the grip on most Glocks, and I think there are a lot of pistols with better triggers. That isn't to say I dislike Glocks, they're great pistols...and I keep threatening to buy a 19. It's just that every time I go to pull the trigger as it were, I find something I like better.

One cool thing about my CZ P-07...it uses the same holster as a G19/23, so if I ever do buy one, I'm already set for gunleather.

I recently took the Beretta APX out for a test drive. Ergonomics were simply outstanding...reminds me of a Hi Power with Spegel grips...yeah, that good! Trigger was meh... Not bad, not great. Accuracy was decent. Can't decide if I really like it. Design wise, I think it's a very slick design. I guess I'll have to give it a few years to see how well it works.


I don't like stock Glock triggers but on a G-19 Gen 3 ,the Ghost Rocket kit will make it as good of a striker as I've ever used, including a Walther PPQ,one of the best out of the box striker triggers ever. Just polish the stock parts,replace the firing pin block spring,and firing pin spring with the lightest one in the kit. You can cut the Ghost Rocket connector slightly past the point where the gun will fire and you will have no overtravel at all. I use the stock trigger return spring.

Now here's one part that will help but I recommend that you don't do it on a SD gun. You can cut 1.5 turns from the lightest firing pin spring in the Ghost Rocket kit and it will work fine on 9mm ammo. It will lighten the trigger even more and I've never found any 9mm ammo that won't fire because of the shortened lighter spring. I've just started doing it on my range guns but I have a buddy who has fired thousands of rounds through his over the last several years without a single light strike. Never cut the springs on anything except the 9mm guns though.

You have to make sure though that these modifications don't create an unsafe issue with your trigger safety. On some new guns the tolerances are so tight that the trigger won't reset far enough to engage the trigger safety with the spring mods.Don't do any of these mods if you aren't comfortable in your knowledge of the platform enough to ensure you have a safe gun when you are through. When done correctly however they will give you a near two stage like trigger with a very light first stage take up and a crisp light break after the wall. The sponge like trigger will be gone.
