I have the sub compact in 40s&w. Fantastic firearm. Great safety features built into the gun while having zero manual safeties that you would have to manipulate in the heat of the moment. This is a firearm that you must want to shoot otherwise it will not fire or operate with out the shooter having control of the firearm.

I have got to go against all of the Glock fans here. I woudn't own a Glock if it was given to me. I do not like the plastic guide rods,the triggers that you can do little with, thewide (front to back) grips, polymer magazines, and they're just butt ugly.

Another fantastic firearm is the S&W M&P. Definetly look at it before you decide.
