So for the past few months I have been considering purchasing a handgun. After my moms house we burgarlized, I was pretty much convinced of getting one. I have narrowed it down to a Ruger 45 or a Springfield 40. I must admit I am leaning to the side of the Ruger due to the heft that comes with it.

However the Springfield has the new saftey on it. Instead of having to push a button or lever, there is a pad on the back of the grip and on the trigger that must be pushed at the same time for the gun to fire. No more messing with a saftey lever.

What do you all think?
