I don't know that I've ever shot the HK, but you can' go wrong with the Glock.

Can I assume you eliminated the Sig P365?
I carry a Ruger LC9S, but that dang P365 keeps calling to me......

I do own the new glock 43x  but i want 1 more a lil bigger.  Before you spend the money on the Sig 365 you may wanna look at the glock 43x   It is glocks answer  to Sigs 365.  Watched a couple videos on both guns but Glock they say is a more reliable proven platfform

I carry a CZ p10c, which is a lot like a Glock 19.  It feels better to me though.  I like having those extra rounds at hand.

Both are good guns that should serve you well, and give you a lot more firepower than the little pocket guns like a 43 or LCP. I think you'd be choosing well with either one.

The biggest thing that sets those two choices apart IMO is aftermarket support - the Glock is ahead by miles in that area. Not that you should expect to need replacement parts, but things like holsters, spare OEM mags, etc are a lot easier to find for most Glock models than anything HK.

I would go HK if I was keeping and using it. I will have a Glock 43 for sale soon. I am not a glock fan, I have owned several, put some money into a couple, but ended up at a dead end on meeting personal needs. Glocks do work and work very well. for me it is the difference between hitting the target every time or hitting the 10 ring every time, I prefer 10.

I would also choose the HK.

They are both fantastic guns. The only reason I would go Glock is aftermarket parts are easy to find. Everyone who makes holsters, barrells, sight and so on makes them for Glocks. If the statistics are still current the Glock 17 is the most owned handgun in the world and Glock 19 is the most owned in the United States. If someone makes a cool gadget for handguns they will most certainly make it for a Glock 19.

I own my share of Glock's. If I had to choose between the two you mentioned, I would go with the HK. You may want to take a look at some of the Sig Sauer offerings.

Hey, I intentionally tried not to single you out... :)

But yeah, that's a pocket gun. Glock calls their 43 a pocket gun too. I have one, but only carry it in special circumstances where I can't carry a 19.

No problem.   Besides, I feel better with the 9 round mags.     I know it doesn't compete(capacity wise) with the Glock, the HK or the Sig.........   But I do own it, and that's a plus.

I used to be a springfield XD guy until someone convinced me to buy a glock 43.  I carried that thing 24/7.  The only thing I didnt care for was my inaccuracies with my large hands on such a small gun.  I bought the glock 19 and it really tightened up my groups.  I carry my glock 19 99% of the time and I absolutely love it.  Best handgun ive ever owned.
