Depends on what you are going to use it for. The auto 5 is a tank, both in longevity and weight. But man can they shoot. If shooting lead, find a Belgian as it is lighter. Steel has to go through a heavier invector barrel. The new model looks nice but I think they should have given it its own namesake. If you are going to be carrying it all day and, like me, don't use shoulder straps, you might consider finding a gold fusion, silver hunter or sx3.
