Pick up a few different loads like the RDA reloads, similar factory FMJ a box of JHP defensive loads. If you can afford it, buy a few different brands of JHP's, try them all, you'll probably be using JHP's for CC. Get to a range and test both firearms with as many different loads you can afford.
I'd also try an additional drill. Fire 2-3 rounds out of one firearm and without taking a break, immediately fire 2-3 out of the other one at the same target. I said immediately, but don't rush, be sure you adhere to all safety rules. The quicker you switch, the more likely you'll have the feeling of the first one in your mind. You're sure to realize the difference between the two.
Getting an extra magazine or two with the purchase is a great value, but I wouldn't sell myself on that. Your comfort, handling and confidence of the firearm is most important.
Whichever you decide on, I'm sure you're getting a quality firearm that you'll keep in your future collection for many years.
Let us know what you decide on. Good luck, have fun and be safe.
I agree, on the extras, but if all things are equal otherwise, they should be considered. I actually like Glock's, just hate the sights they come with, the lack of a manual safety, and the price. Glocks in general are OVERPRICED for what you get, but you cannot go wrong with one. I'd take Springfield any day over a Glock, however. But he is RIGHT ON. Confidence, comfort, and I handing always come first!
