I am debating on making another purchase.

M&P 2.0 Shield 9mm
Glock 19 9mm
Glock 41 45ACP
HK HK45 45ACP

Some other 762x39 300Blackout uppers for a lower on a shelf.

Wife may need a carry which would be the M&P. If other members wives carry what do they prefer?

I don't necessary "need" anything ...

Get Shield EZ. If I didn't have my HK45C, I'd probably go the Glock 41.
The HK is a beast and would be my end of the world pistol I think.

Whoever says G19, go choke yourself right now.
Also, whoever says G19, I guarantee they will follow it up with the standard 3 sentences about reliability, popular accessories, and use in police agencies. Blah blah blah.

The H&K .45...an awesome pistol. I have a USP45 and a USP .45 Compact...the full-size one is a bit large but it never falters and is exceedingly accurate.

Get a Liberator 45...

Well that takes some of the sting out of the G19...

I agree with this, especially if your wife doesnt shoot often. The EZ is very easy to handle. My sister got one, and I cant tell you how easy it is compared to the Shield 2.0. I like my 2.0, but the EZ is like butter.

Just buy all of them. LOL

Thanks for the offer brother but I couldn't put that much on your CC ... Maybe only one or two at max. :lol2:

I'll look around for a reasonably priced EZ. again ... :lol2:

If the need is for the wife's carry pistol - the Shield wins. If for fun, the HK45 wins. Just like Blasty noted - G19 works and we all own one but that's like an old Ford truck.. Nothing sexy but it works.

You realize you are touching 3.5 different catagories ?

If it's for Mrs Ktiger , don't ask us , ask her .

Glock 19, 9mm...

Most Versatile, plenty of up grades available, higher capicity, combat proven, easiest to re-sell...

-Z/28- · Oct 8, 2020

The HK is the best piece you list for sure. So I'd start there. I will throw in the generic "the Glock 19 is a good basic all around pistol" statement but it doesn't compare to the HK. That's a bit like comparing a Honda Civic to a Mercedes.

G19, hands down. For the reasons mentioned above.

In all seriousness though... if you plan to purchase standard capacity mags out of state, I would factor that into the cost and decision here.

HK mags definitely come at a premium whereas glock mags are dirt cheap and everywhere.

Biggfoot44 · Oct 8, 2020

Glock is the fleet spec Ford Taurus of the gun world . Take that as a boost or a slam at your personal discretion .

Why do mags become an issue for someone who doesn't "need" any pistol?
Why get vanilla when you can get chocolate mint chip or a different flavor?
He already said an hk45 it's an option. He doesn't need to go Glock and worry about mags.

You can't go wrong with a Glock 19 - basic proven reliability.

Sage954 · Oct 8, 2020

Handle them all and get what you like. If one doesn’t stand out, keep looking.
My wife likes the Glock 43.

jimbobborg · Oct 9, 2020

If you asked 100 shooters, you'll get 50% saying Glock, the others will blather on about their favorite pistol. Why not both of you go to a range that rents guns. Test them out. Get the one that you shoot best. Easy.
