It was not for me either when I got my first gun a Glock 19. I ditched it after a few 1000 wasted rounds. Then I gave it another shot in a #17 and it's been perfect ever since. I carry a 27 with .357 SIG in it, but also carry a 43. They are practical, functional, accurate. And best of alllll... if I ever have to use it I won't feel so bad about having to give it up for a while.
