Choice was made
I started thinking of a new CC firearm. I choose 9mm as the caliber. Plenty potent enough and lends to control-ability and quicker follow up in a smaller firearm. I was originally looked into the Springfield XD but backed away from it. I realize there are going to be trade offs between different firearms but there were too many little things that didn't sit well with me.
So I was then at the Glock 26. The mag release again was under my thumb, the finger groove doesn't match my fingers and I really don't like their take-down release. Seemed slippery.
I found the Sig P320 sub-compact to fit my hand the best and was worth the price.
