5 Best Pistols Better Than A Glock
When it comes to modern pistols, there's nothing that can beat the Glock for popularity. However,
this doesn't mean that it is the most suitable or appropriate gun for specific needs.
Of course, the rise of Glock is due to its innovative construction. At first,
many questioned its preference for polymer frames and hammerless platforms. But as years passed,
the doubts were vanquished, and Glock guns became one of the most-sought pistols in the world.
Many tried to copy Glock. Some succeeded, while others came a little off.
Surely enough, shooters also love Glock because of its utility-oriented pistols,
combined with ruggedness and reliability that you can't find in most of its competitors.
But as I've said, Glock isn't always on the top. After all,
most of its options are in the expensive price range, mostly from $700 to $800 apiece.
If I tell you that there are more affordable options that
offer the same or better performance, I am pretty sure you'll make the switch.

Now, let's get back to the video! 5. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY XD MOD 2
Let us start with the Springfield Armory XD MOD 2. You see, this gun is an excellent Glock
alternative, especially for those who want extra details and finishing touches on their pistols.
Needless to say, the clean design of Glocks is impeccable. But sometimes,
a little addition isn't really bad, especially if you are gunning for a Glock alternative.
Specifically, the Springfield Armory XD MOD 2 is quite similar to the Glock 19,
except that it has some extra parts that you would normally get in the aftermarket.
Examples of these components are its high-quality trigger and cleanly serrated slide.
Its grip safety enhances the overall experience you can have with this gun.
In fact, it is one of the missing aspects that the Glock 19 should
possess. It improves the overall security that this pistol provides to its users.
Interestingly, you can get a downsized version of the XD MOD 2. This is a good
deal for those who are looking for a compact, lightweight concealed carry.
In fact, its smaller version is one of my favorite subcompact CCW pistols on the market today.
Moreover, the XD MOD 2 is built to exude impressive durability and performance.
This one is evident through its use of a forged slide and hammer-forged barrel. You can guarantee
that the gun can usher an extensive lifespan. With its Melonite finish, this pistol easily negates
the harm caused by the elements. 4. SIG P365 XL
Sig Sauer is a reputable firearm manufacturer, so it is not difficult to trust its guns. At the
same time, it also has great handguns that can easily rival those produced by Glock.
One of the notable Sig pistols that can compete with Glocks is the Sig P365 XL.
When it was first released, many thought that it was an expensive version of the iconic Sig 365.
Fortunately, this was not the case.
Overall, the Sig 365 XL is an exceptional pistol.
It is better than many micro-compact handguns that are designed for concealed carry purposes.
Today, you can even purchase a Sig 365 XL with manual safety.
Its extended barrel length enables it to reduce recoil, which is a known side effect of small
firearms, such as the original Sig 365. And since it has a larger construction,
gripping it is a lot easier than its small counterparts. Of course, I am not saying that the
365 is too small. But it may indeed fall in the compact category in the grand scheme of things.
The Sig P365 XL is an excellent choice for those who have big hands. Surely enough,
you have other great alternatives to this gun, such as the X-Carry and the P320 compact. However,
the Sig P365 XL is indeed an outstanding gun that comes with a plethora of features.
This 9mm handgun is available in either 12+1 or 15+1 capacity. It maintains a shooting experience
similar to a full-size handgun, despite only having a small frame. It also has an excellent
trigger pull that is crisp, tactile, and audible at the same time. And if that's not enough,
this pistol flaunts the signature XRay 3 Day/Night sights alongside a rear sight plate.
You can get this gun instead of the conventional Glock 19. Trust me. You'll
never regret it if you do so. 3. SMITH & WESSON M&P
Of course, we can't complete this list without the SMITH & WESSON M&P. Now,
in its 2.0 edition, the SMITH & WESSON M&P is one of the most popular alternatives to Glock guns.
It has a base price that is way more affordable than its Glock counterparts.
Its MSRP starts at $569, and that is something favorable for shooters who are on a budget.
Similar to Glock pistols, the SMITH & WESSON M&P is also available in .40 S&W,
.45 ACP, and 9mm calibers. It also arrives with either 4.6-inch, 4.0-inch, or 3.6-inch barrels,
which is somewhat similar to the compact, duty-sized, and sub-compact Glocks.
Now, you are seeing the patterns, right?
When it comes to features, both the M&P and Glock are almost identical,
especially if we are talking about compatibility in optics configuration. If you find that Glock
pistols are precise and ergonomic, then the M&P also provides the same quality and experience.
All the M&P guns are notable for their reliability and structural ruggedness.
Hence, it is not surprising that they are also preferred by military and police personnel.
In fact, the term M&P stands for Military and Police!
There are also other innovative features in the M&P that make it a viable competitor against
the more popular Australian handguns. All pistols under the M&P have extended
stainless steel chassis. They also have a high grip-to-barrel-bore-axis ratio. This
means that these guns have mitigated muzzle rise, which, in turn, speeds up their aim recovery.
Moreover, their trigger design has been fine-tuned, allowing them to be crisp,
light, and tactile. Some models include four interchangeable palmswell inserts for enhanced
trigger reach and hand-fit. 2. H&K SFP9/VP9
While it is true that the VP70 is the first polymer, striker-fired pistol of the H&K,
it is the SFP9 that marked the first return of the manufacturer to the handgun market.
Specifically, this is roughly thirty years after the launch of Glock.
Of course, it is a given that H&K was eyeing to compete with the Glock, as it is the best that
there is. So the gun manufacturer actually focused on "enhancing" the trigger design of its pistols
relative to the trigger mechanism of the Glock. This can be experienced with the SFP9.
The SFP9 has a trigger that is undoubtedly cleaner than most fifth-generation Glocks.
That alone proves that H&K has succeeded in its attempt to enhance its triggers.
You see, the trigger of the SFP9 resets quickly after you pull it.
Furthermore, you don't need to pull it as well before you can disassemble the pistol.
It is also notable that the SFP9 has a modular grip which is replicated in the
earlier H&K pistols. Keep in mind that H&K is known for its exceptional grip designs,
so you can expect that the SFP9 doesn't suck on this aspect,
as well. You can adjust the width and length of the grip, which is downright ergonomic.
Glock only allows you to configure the length of the grip through the use of replaceable
backstraps. Hence, the H&K SFP9 is way better for those who prefer wider guns.
I will also mention the proprietary mag release of the SFP9. H&K integrated two paddles on the
junction of the trigger guard and grip. Some like this design, while others aren't enjoying
it at all. With this design, users will be able to drop the mags quicker and smoother
than the traditional push-button releases. But then again, it is not for everyone's liking.
1. CZ-75 It's undeniable that the CZ-75 is one of the most
impressive handguns today, especially if we are talking about versatility. This gun is suitable
for many applications. You are free to use it for self-defense, home defense, or competitions.
In fact, the CZ-75 is one of the top choices among those who are in competitive circuits.
After all, it possesses peerless accuracy and consistency that many Glock guns can't even offer.
Furthermore, it is also notable that the CZ-75 remains to be a reliable option for duty use. You
can guarantee that many armies in the world today are using the CZ-75 as their standard pistol.
For instance, the federal police of Mexico opted for the P-09 variant
of the CZ-75 as its standard service arm way back in 2013. That alone proved that the
quality of the CZ-75 is designed to possess exceptional performance and consistency.
In particular, the CZ-76 P-09 was constructed to be a direct competitor to many Glock guns.
Specifically, it caters to the market of individuals who are looking for
reliable double-action / single-action pistols. Since this is a 19-rounder gun,
the P-09 has twice the capacity of the Glock 17, which is also a highly acclaimed pistool
Furthermore, the P-09 also flaunts a polymer frame similar to Glock guns.
Hence, there's a certainty that it is a lightweight gun. But of course, this would
also mean that the P-09 has moderate recoil. But you can always practice how to manage it.
At most, the CZ-75 caters to a number of users. You can either
configure its safety on both sides or prefer a decocker-only platform.
Meanwhile, the standard rubber grips of the CZ-75 also enable secure, foolproof handling.
This particular aspect also set apart the CZ-75 guns from their Glock counterparts.
