mines a light weight commander, light as any glock or what have you.
I carry 20+ rounds ... If I need more than that what the hell was I doin in that kind of place in the first place ??
The last time I needed more than 20 rounds was in Lebanon

Oh nice...Yeah 3 mags though, 3 mags of 40 = 36. Or you could carry one less mag, I was only pointing out 40 cals are lighter and hold more ammo. My favorite guns will always be 1911's they are so accurate it's ridiculous. LOVE THEM.

Before committing to something, go to a gun shop that has rentals available and try out a handful of different pistols. I can say from experience, that was what lured me into the Glock 21 in the first place. Now I'm eyeballing the Gen4 Glocks as something to buy next. Shot one a few months ago (in .40) and immediately fell in love. It felt like it was molded to me as an extension of my arm, not as something I was holding.

Agreed. You need to shoot it before you buy it. EVERYONE is different. Good advice.

I totally agree with the “Test Drive” idea, looking for a pistol is lot like looking for a woman
Ya’ gots to find one that fits, one that makes you smile, one that could rock your day.
Many gun shops have ranges now days where you can test out a variety of guns.
The .45 ACP is a good old round with a long history, the .40 …
it aint for me but I know lots of Folks who love it.
I carry a 1911 because it’s what I’m used to, been carrying one for 35 years now…Old habits die hard.
But it aint for everyone, the single action workings of a 1911 can take some getting used to And some of them can be finicky …
but when you get a good one it’s like a good Woman, You just can’t let go.
I’ve tried Glock’s, S&W’s, … I even bought an Astra once, They just didn’t feel right.
And That is the key, You have to find what feels right and comfortable
Some thing you could become “One with” and stick with it.
Shopping for a new gun can be a lot of fun
