How long did it take to decide on new gun for a division you shoot?

Thought this would be a fun topic to share some data, specifically, the amount of time that we put into a decision to switch guns in a division we have been shooting for some time.

As for me...I've been shooting Carry Optics for about 6 years now (started when it was just a provisional division) using a Glock 17 Gen 4 MOS pistol.  I enjoy shooting Glocks and have made extensive mods to my competition gun and thinking I have taken the Glock platform about as far as I can to make it fast, 100% reliable, and be a natural extension of my hands (with trigger, controls, grip).  So, I've been thinking about making additional changes (with grip and weight) that would be easier to move forward with by just switching guns.  That got me thinking about how much time we put into a decision like this and maybe it would at least entertaining to see some data just to add some humor, if nothing else!

I realize switching guns is not likely to make me a better shooter or increase my scores, but sometimes it's fun just to experiment and add some new flavor into the sport that we love.

As fast as my wallet allows. If the thought of switching guns enters my mind and I can afford it, then I'm not wasting any time pondering the question further. I rather be dry firing unencumbered by the thought of what if.

I switched to the Canik Rival, now I have 3 of them. I have a pile of Glocks I haven't touched in 6 month's.. Love the Canik Rival.

I switched to a Canik TP9SFX so I could shoot 9mm ammo (purchased online). It just got a little ridiculous (for me) to continue to load 40 S&W on the Dillon.
