Glock 19 vs Canik TP9 Elite for EDC — help me decide

Narrowed it down to Glock 19 and S&W M&P 2.0 for daily carry. Buddy has one I have the other. One has better ergos but the other conceals easier.

Opinions?

Anyone else run into this? I thought I was the only one.

Glock 19 all day. You can't go wrong with it - carried one for years before getting my G43X for summer carry. Yeah the M&P might feel better in your hand but when your life depends on it you want that Glock reliability. Plus holster selection is massive and aftermarket support is unmatched. The G19 is the Toyota Camry of pistols - not exciting but it'll run forever.

Wait I'm confused... you said Glock 19 vs Canik but then mentioned S&W M&P 2.0? Either way, I'd go G19. Carried both and the Glock just works. Parts everywhere, proven reliability. The M&P has better ergos for some people but for EDC I want boring reliability over comfort. FWIW I appendix carry in a belly band and both conceal fine.
