That's why I initially brought it as I was on the SWAT Team at the time and is what they carry. The guy I sold it to is now on the team and he switched back to our duty carry (G19).
I like something I keep it no matter how many I have. I've only sold three guns in my lifetime including that one. The other's being the G23 and G27, but that's another story.
I only carry my G19, either personal or duty, or my G43 when I'm wearing sweats or something.
Btw, I also own a G21sf. Beats their M&P .45 by a mile, imo.
Thanks for the input. I have an M&P40C and have the barrel for 9mm. I have been pleased but have never shot a Glock so I don't have a comparison. I have been thinking of putting the 9mm barrel through the wringer and if it runs the same as the .40 then switching to 9mm. Being able to swap calibers is pretty big for me but I believe you just swap the slide and the ejector for the Glock and you can swap calibers as well so that is a wash.
