Shot my first glock this week

Yep, especially if you're accustomed to steel-framed guns. The frame of a Glock weighs next to nothing, so it can feel top-heavy to folks who aren't used to it.

Also, even if you're used to the lighter aluminum frames, plastic can feel too flexible. My first Glock felt like it was going to break in half on some random shot. I tightened my grip and the feeling went away.

If you're already used to plastic, I got no idea what you're complaining about.

I'm used to my P89 Ruger... whole different gun there!

Its a chocolate Glock and we are going to shoot it.

Seriously it took me a while to really like my G19. It seemed small to my hand and a little light compared to what I was carrying before (M9). I had the grip stippled and just shot it a whole bunch, now it's what I carry almost exculsively. I trust it and I can make it rock. I needed something smaller to conceal but still have the firepower of my Beretta. I don't mind dinging around or beating it up because it's cheaper to replace then my other guns.

That's kinda where I'm at... like the Ruger P89, but it's like trying to conceal a brick! 'course while at work I'll have to go even smaller, but that's for another thread!

The 4th Gen Glocks have interchangeable backstraps for the grip. The large backstrap makes the grip quite large. I would try a 4th gen.

I say try the 17 and reevaluate your decision. I thought the same thing after shooting my first Glock 19. I was a 1911 guy for a while and my wife wanted a glock. I bought her the 19 and she loved it. We took it to the range and after running 100 rounds through it I realized I shot it very well and now carry one myself.
