Glock makes many different models; some car fairly similar to each other, while some are quite different. Different specs may have different purposes, or people might have deliberate uses for each. An example would be something like a glock 19 that has a small frame and a short slide and barrel setup that’s maybe used for range days/plinking/tactical courses, and maybe they have something like a glock 34 that has a larger frame and longer slide/barrel for competition shooting. There are a lot of people who like to have sets of things too that will buy one of each to have a collection of them

I think it depends on your use tbh… if for racing then a CZ Shadow or a Tactical sport would make more sense. Even non Glock let’s say you want a striker still, personally I really want a P320 but they’re sold out everywhere

It’s a very popular gun for it, so is the P320 and originally Tanfoglio but now the world champion switched to CZ

I mean IPSC will be pricy and that is actually already a more entry level IPSC gun lol. For cheaper you could get maybe norinco then it’s a P226 clone but the shadow 1 which is the one you listed is another one that ppl often get if they don’t want to pay for the shadow 2
