[QUOTE="TK1299, post: 15710181, member: 184930"] Op, no matter what anyone recommends, you are going to get the pistol YOU like and what's more comfortable for YOU. Instead of giving advice on what to get, I'm going to offer a little on what to do with it once you do.... [B]TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN. [/B] Take it to the range and practice with different shooting scenarios, i.e. Quick firing, multiple targets, etc.. anyone can stand 10 feet from a piece of paper and use a slow steady aim and hit. But be honest with yourself; If you ever had to use it in the situation you're carrying it for, it will never ever be that controlled or slow. Dry fire at home(triple check the weapon is clear). Practice drawing from your waist and pointing at a target as quickly as you can. Try with a shirt over it and jacket. The more you train with it the more apparent if it will work for your needs it will become. You can spend twenty minutes at home each day building muscle memory and equal the benifits of your best range day. When it comes to carry guns a lot of people want a gun that "looks cool". This should be an afterthought. Pick the one you can hastily draw, have a good handle on, that doesn't snag on your clothes, and you can efficiently use. There are an infinite number of scenarios that you may need it for. Whether it be a longer distance shot, quick draw and fire from the hip, car jacking, whatever... prepare yourself the best you can and pick the tool you do it best with. I will end with a phrase I coined, "People who want to carry guns, carry 1911's. People who have to carry guns, carry Glocks" : )~ [/QUOTE]
