How about buying a CZ 75 Compact
I've often thought about a CZ: cheaper to buy, good rep, nice ergo's. However, they just don't make me quiver the way the 941 does. In addition, I've always found the slide serrations to be very narrow and always wondered if, in a crisis situation, I'd be able to get a good grip on that slide.

I don't just look at guns only as tools BUT, the glock, as a tool, is one of the best tools that one can get, when you consider what you get for the cost.

You have to decide how you want to view your guns: as tools, or something more. You can also, my preferred option, own some guns that mean something more and some that are just tools. But I wouldn't get rid of that Glock. It's a good tool.
Indeed this is the dilemma.
The Glock's worth in this respect, despite the grip angle thing that training could address, is clear to me.
However, I cannot readliy change what is, after all, an emotional reaction.
Amongst my bikes, my TL1000s was a grotesquely impractical bike, but by the Hammer of Thor, I loved every second in the saddle!!
Like my motorbikes, in the guns I have bought there are some that I feel a greater connection to than others, my Redhawk being one of them.

Rationally, I know the Glock is a great choice for all that it already gives me, but I can stare at that picture of the stainless Jericho for half an hour... that is not something easy to ignore when I just know that shooting it would be a blast!!

If legally possibly, just add a Jericho to your handgun battery.
Legally possible, financially not so. I have a baby daughter now and whilst I don't plan on selling any of my guns without replacing them, I don't think I can buy any without selling one first.
