RE: New Pistol
I hafta give a huge vote for Springfield Armory XD pistols. I have the service model XD-40, awesome shooter, great fit, if you are unfamiliar with the safety features of them/Glock, they are even better should you be in a quickdraw situation. The service model isnt too bad to conceal with a shoulder holster. I am going to purchase a compact model in the near future though. I will be sticking with my 40 cal on it too. If anything aside from the Glock/XD I would look into a wheelgun for reliability though, but I have no doubts with my XD.
