Keep My Tristar (Canik) T100 or Glock 19?

Tomorrow I'm supposed to trade in my Tristar (Canik) T100 CZ clone for a S&W 9mm Shield I ordered for concealed carry. The problem is the T100 feels so damn good in my hand, as all CZ's do...it points, shoots, handles beautifully. The machine work is top notch, and it always goes bang. It's a very good pistol.
My Glock 19, on the other hand (no pun intended) always works dirty, clean,
I shoot it well, it's dead nuts reliable, etc. It's a little ugly, but it's a tool to have complete confidence in. I'm wondering about trading the Glock instead.
The T100 was almost $200 less when new than the Glock....can it be possible that the Tristar over time will be just as reliable as the Glock? Can the Turks at Canik make a handgun as well as the Austrians? I'm torn. I've gotta let one of them go for the Shield, and I shoot each one equally well. Which one??
Thanks!

Keep both, and find another way to pay for the S&W.

Looks like a lot more reason to keep both than trade either!:D
 
Figure out a way to pay for the Shield and keep both of the other ones. If one has to go, sell the Glock. You can always get another one.
 
Do you want to keep a fun plinker that can double as a fine SD pistol, with soul and a classy pedigree. Or are you hung up on the every gun must be a self defense piece of high dollar plastic?

You're already getting a G19 killer so send that thing down the road for the 500 bucks those people will pay. Once you shoot and carry the shield you'll never look back. (unless you're insecure with 8/7 +1)

Enjoy you're all steel CZ clone for years to come.
