How do you Glocks are "blocky"? Have you had one for a while? My Glock 23 is a very reliable carry during wintertime. I love it...though I am not pushing it down anyone's throat. It is what is comfortable for me. See what you're comfortable for you before you diss any type or brand of gun. You might learn something in the long run. My Glock goes kaboom everytime I press the trigger.'Haven't failed me yet. I also have a Ruger and I like it too...but then these guns are all in past. No guns for quite a while now.

I continue to grieve for your loss. But, keep looking....one day the gun fairy may leave a new Glock under your pillow.

As noted above... Rent, borrow or try on a number of choices. The one you shoot the best and are most comfortable with is the one you should choose. Glock, Ruger, M&P are all good choices. Get a good belt and holster. (Check the forum survey for the most used holsters.) A good belt and holster makes a huge difference no matter what you carry. You can carry a wider body gun that is "light" just as easy as a full-size "heavy" 1911 if you dress right.

Like what others have said about testing each one and then deciding. I usually test both and I tend to fire two-handed, then one-handed, and then off-hand. Then after putting around 50 rounds down range I take a quick break and switch to the other firearm. I know I am different and weird but oh well. I then go at another time and retest the same two firearms but in reverse. So firearm one I fire second and firearm two I fire first. I been accused of over thinking and analysing things; however, I never have regretted a purchase and truth be known.... I get more time on the range.
Glocks may be a great choice, but they're not for everyone. For me the grip angle is unnatural, causing the gun to point higher than I like. The finger-grooved grips also do not fit my fingers. I went to a shop yesterday with the intention of getting a Gen 4 Glock 19, but after holding it, I found it still doesn't fit me the way an M&P does, and it does feel blocky. I went with an M&P 9 FS, not significantly larger than the G19, but a much better fit for me.

If the width is a factor, then get something with a single stack magazine, like the Ruger LC9. When I started looking for a concealed handgun, I tried glocks, but they were too big for my hand. Then I tried an M&P 9c with the small handgrip and it fit just right. I also like and shoot an XD9sc very well, but don't own one.
A good holster and belt make a huge difference in carry comfort, though.
Speaking ONLY on the comfort side of carrying - I agree. The gun is light and thin and I like it.
