HKs are better pistols than Glocks, I carry a HK
My comparison list is below,
I've been rethinking some of my needs for a pistol for a while, and having shot a...swoopy dude's G19... well a good trigger, compensater and red dot sight... it makes since seeing someone shoot 2-4" groups at 40yds quickly...
There's a 61 page white paper by Sage Dynamics, "Miniaturized Red Dot Systems for Duty Handgun Use" that makes a strong case for optics. If you ever have to use NVGs and your pistol simultaneously, red dot is the way to go. I can send you the document if you want. MRDS are quicker when shooting about 25yds and out, from my experience.
Glocks have some enormous advantages, and why I consider them king.
Economy: An optic ready slide for Mil/LE is $489
Massive number of armorers
Stupidly reliable pistols (90k-100k round count guns)

Magazines are inexpensive
HK advantages:
Stupidly reliable
Wonderfully adjustable grips
Great triggers
Beautifully engineered works of art
Glock Problems
Shitty stock triggers
Aftermarket things tend to be less reliable
Standard plastic sights
HK disadvantages
Getting work done is expensive
Hard to find people qualified to work on them
Everything is more expensive
When it comes down to a pistol, your comfort and training are more important than your particular choice in a quality reliable sidearm. If you knew you were going to a fight, you'd have a rifle handy. I agree with your assessment that the additional 2 rounds are secondary to your skill. If the trigger on the HK makes a reasonable difference in your ability, that's where I'd go. Otherwise IMO, the money spent on the HK could go to training/ammo.
