Hmm, I feel the opposite... Using the car analogy, yes I can take any FWD econobox on a spirited drive but to push the envelope of your driving ability and truly appreciate "the limit" you need something built with driving in mind; not just a grocery getter. You can't pull a full lateral G in a Honda Fit....the Glock, it's simplicity, uniformity, ease of use and maintenance allowed me to start caring less about the gun and instead focus on the "act" instead of the "means", regardless of whatever the tool happens to be. Sometimes, I think with other more storied, attractive, and prestigious platforms, this simple fact can be overlooked as people focus on the platform. What I'm getting at is, go from the finely tuned high performance sports car with a proper manual gearbox, to the auto econobox daily driver. It can allow you to have a much greater appreciation of the finer things in life, as well as the actual act of "driving" more so than necessarily what you are doing the driving with.

A handgun isn't like a car tho, so I'm not sure this analogy fits. A Glock, while boring, can do anything a 1911 or Sig can. People definitely get hung up on "platform"
It can be your EC or fav gun at the range.
Mine are my beretta 92 compact and XDS 45
XDS is: very narrow for EC in iwb holster. Power of 45ACP. 8 rd. duel safeties
Accurate. Comfortable to shoot and hold. Good color-black
Beretta is. A beauty, Inox with custom zebra wood grips. Hi capacity 14 rd up to 30 rd. proven reliability. Easily customizable-grips, sites, trigger, hammer. Dedicated safety lever/decocker. Very accurate and low recoil. Still concealable.
One thing about the 92 is the mag release. I have to re grip the pistol to press the button. That's solved though with an ext mag release
