my carry is a Glock 21 (.45), insanely great gun, no real safety and no break in. Whole point behind the gun is to scare away the bad guy not for the bad guy to think you don't have a gun then he jumps you and all you have is a pea shooter. I carry the .45 and nobody comes close to my wife and I! BTW I have a VA and TX concelaed permit, covers almost every state.
