It is sure great to have the Firing Line back up!
I have a G17 and G19. I can only compare them to the other guns I own. A Kahr MK9, a Ruger SP101 in .38+p, a Jetfire in .25, and a Keltec P32.
The G17 is a joy to shoot. Just like a .22 plinker. Really a fine gun, a joy to take to the range. The G19 is about the same. The MK9 has a sharp kick to it. The SP101 with .38+P kicks hard, can't imagine shooting a .357 snubbie. The Jetfire has almost no recoil, such a cute little guy, totally underpowered, but cute. The P32 snaps pretty good.
I used to want a BHP but the G17 and G19 have become almost an extension of my hand, and when I pick up any other full or medium framed .9mm, they feel alien. Except for that new Springfield Armory XD (Croatian HS200). But, of course it is pretty Glock like. I liked that pistol, but I thought the grip safety was a bit much. I have never seen any point to having a grip safety. The XD was cheap (400) and I might have bought it without that grip safety.
