Handguns are tools, we each determine which we need for the designated task. Some work better then others and some we preform better with. I've carried both a M9 and a M1911A1 in the sandbox and still carry a 1911 when home. Make your own seclection, based on how it preforms for you and your needs.
Built this one in 86' and still carry it.
