Glocks are great. For range shooting, you might consider that 9mm is cheaper than 40SW, slightly less recoil too. You might also consider a full size versus a compact (e.g. G17 in 9mm vs G19 in 9mm, or G22 vs G23). Or even a longslide (called "competition" in the chart at the above link).

If you spend some time here

and check out the gun-specific subforums (scroll down to "gun-related club forums") you're going to get one . . .

Any Glock benefits from the so-called 25-cent trigger job - do a search on GlockTalk. Takes about 1 hour with some polishing compound (what you use on polished Fuchs is fine) and smooths the trigger nicely.

My G19 is 21 years old, I've been shooting it since new. Until about 2 years ago, I don't think it had even one stoppage, except for some squib (bad) ammo. When it finally starting having some very occasional problems, I replaced the recoil and magazine spring, and threw in a steel recoil spring guide rod just for fun. I expect another 20 years of utter reliability.

Which brings up, Glocks are easy to tinker with and parts are cheap with more DIY customization options than any other pistol, except maybe a Ruger .22. Hop up your Glock here

Get one, you won't regret it. Plus you'll notice more money left in your wallet, versus some other makes. (I know someone is going to recommend a SIG next.)
