[QUOTE="Meister, post: 129617, member: 4118"] A pistol is only used to get you to your rifle/shotgun. Most handgun ammo will pass straight thru a drywall wall and plum out the side of a vinyl village house. Be careful in the caliber you choose or you could be responsible for the holes in the neighbors houses. I hang out at a gun shop that sells quite a few handguns and has about 250 on hand at all times. A few of the XD's and a bunch of kimbers have been sent back to the factory for repairs. One kimber made it out of the factory with no rifling in the barrel. It's hard to pick just one handgun because of the variety of uses. If I had to pick just one to take in a bad moment it would be my Glock 17 with an M6 laser/light. Add a plus two to the mag and you have 20 rounds to pin an enemy down or chase them out of your house firing the whole way. Low recoil in case you're half asleep and I've never heard of someone who wanted to get shot by a 9mm. A shot to the head is a stopper every time anyway! The 9mm is a great round if you buy the proper ammunition. Ammo is cheap so you can afford to practice as much as you want. We all know trigger time makes the shooter! I'm a big believer in track records, glocks have a long record of flawless functionality. I've never had a glock fail to function in stock configuration unless the ammo was junk. The only other semiauto handguns I can say that for are my nighthawk custom and my HK USP tactical. Both are tackdrivers as well. [/QUOTE]
