[QUOTE="popeye, post: 2993038, member: 82319"] A couple of things that I noticed while skimming this thread that Id like to add my two cents worth. IDPA was mentioned by one poster,my wife and I shot IDPA for several years (several years ago) and a little USPSA. It was very eye opening when drawing and shooting from concealment and utilizing cover, I wasn't as fast or as accurate as I was standing on my range at home. No matter how fast you think you are, someone else is faster and more accurate. Reloads under stress are not pretty. Like some others have mentioned, I too cut my teeth on a 1911 (in the manly .45ACP) It wasn't until I did a stint in LE that I began to see the value of the high capacity polymer pistols. I spent many years in search of the perfect pistol because the transition from a 1911 frame to a glock was not easy for me. There have been many good options mentioned, Glock and S&W to name a few. I would suggest that anyone trying to decide, go to a shop where you can rent several diffent ones and see what fits you the best. Then get professional training and range time. Shooting and drawing from concealment are a perisable skill, practice practice practice. Consider joining IDPA and see where you stand. One thing that I have not seen discussed is the type of bullet to carry. I mention this because not only have I known the CC guy that wont chamber carry, I've seen the guy that carrys ball ammo. Utilize the right bullet for the task at hand. Between EMS and LE I've seen and treated a GSW or two. A .22 will kill if properly placed but is it the best choice? Someone that knows how to use a knife can do a lot of work while bleeding out from a .22 Just my thoughts and observtions. Nothing more. [/QUOTE]
