I have a CCW, have been a shooter for a decade, and taken several courses on close quarters defensive pistol shooting. I prefer Glock over anything else for serious defensive use due to simplicity, short trigger reset, weight, and capacity. I carry a Glock 23 and keep a Glock 21SF with an X300 weapon light by my bed (along with the Benelli M4). If someone claims something is better than a Glock, I've either shot it or I own it. I think that once you take a multi-day course or two you'll really appreciate the Glock design over something more glamorous that impresses people at the range. I keep other guns because I love variety, Pythons are beautiful, and I love to shoot high end 1911's... but I choose Glock as a defensive tool.
I sold a Tactical Supergrade 1911 back to wilson because it wasn't reliable after 2 warranty return trips for various things within 2 weeks of ownership. I have never had to call Glock for a warranty issue like the sights shooting loose and wobbling around or the weapon failing to feed the last round with multiple new Glock magazines. Want that? Buy a 1911. Not for me.

The Benelli M4 is an awesome weapon. Are you tired of the junk OEM rail tearing up QD optics like LaRue? Tired of the junk OEM tube? I am friends with a guy who has beat both problems with VERY high QC parts. My friend Greg and I were the ones who put him to making that pic. rail, and ironically, I sold my M4 for $1100+ a G19 w/OEM Trijicons abotu 2 weeks before he completed the project. They are 7075 and type III ano. This guy spares no expense or QC measure and developes what he is asked to develop if enough people ask and it is feasible. The highest quality part on my M4 was the Ti tube he made. IIRC, he holds all his stuff on that tube to aerospace tolerance (+-.0001").

You might be in for a wait, on some items, but he always delivers and only charges right before shipping. He's nearly a 1-man machine shop, so sometimes there are delays as you might imagine. Last I checked he said he was taking care of that, but he puts QC, etc. above snappy delivery times.

I love HK's as well. I just prefer to carry the G19 I have and my P226 is my range toy. I wanted a replacement for the Wilson and a GGI worked P226 Elite ST in 357SIG fit the bill. Same accuracy, almost 2x the capacity.
