Hey, when you are given the choice of a S&W or a Glock, it was a no brainer for me.

When Smith's were the only handgun allowed to be carried, we were to carry the S&W 4506. That is about as big and ugly as one could get IMHO.

I had no resonable way to carry it off duty so I elected to carry it in the "posterior, lower inguinal, horizontal positioning, slide fastener with quick opening module and in the reinforced nylon package" in tactical black. Now I have a "real" handgun and was wanting something, well, fashionable yet uncomplicated and that doesn't scream out "He's gotta gun, he's gotta a gun!"
