I hate commenting on This vs That, but here it goes!. Glock!, one reason to ME, I carry everyday, I started with a 1911, and yes, it gets heavy, for the last six years I've been carrying a Glock 30, much smaller, less weight, just as accurate and yes I feel more comfortable with a few extra rounds in the gun. But, like others have said, YOU need to go handle them to see what fitsYOU the best, YOU need to think of how the firearm will serve YOU, the old saying is true, what is left behind, does you no good when it is needed!. In a nutshell, all the popular manufactures make good reliable firearms, some need no work out of the box, some need a little work, some need alot, it aint pretty but,Glock just happens to be one of the ones that are good to go out of the box.
