I do one pistol or carbine course every year and I always make note of what the instructors use. Glocks seem to be far and away the favorite. I have seen a couple of HK VP9s lately but from what I have seen, it seems to be about 80% glocks.

Two year ago I did a class with an instructor who was using a Legion p226. That class stood out to me. He was an amazing shot and could move and shoot better than anyone I have ever seen. The guy was running toward his target and making 4 inch patterns.

Secondly, there was a gentleman in that class who also had a Legion p226, but was having nothing but problems with it. He was fumbling with the controls, getting it jammed up, and shooting all over the map. About half way through the afternoon, another instructor pulled him off the line to help him and suggested that he switch to a Glock. The older fellow was frustrated and said something to the effect, "I got this because I thought it was a good gun". The instructor replied, "it is a good gun, it's just not a good gun for you".
