9mm is a fine sub-machine round, handgun round, not so much.
You couldn't give me a Glock for free.
I stick with my H & K's and Walthers, you know the Germans always make good stuff, (that's what the Sham-Wow guy says).
40 cal for concealed, 45 cal to fight my way to the 12ga w/ #4buck if the boogyman comes threw the door.

.45 ACP because I truly believe it to be the standard by which all other bad guy - stoppers are measured for a darn good reason.
No less than 6.
185 grain Federal Hydra-shok hollow point. Somewhat easier to control in smaller frame short slides (Lighter recoil/much reduced muzzle flash). High enough velocity from shorter barrels to still expand violently, yet heavy enough to penetrate light obstacles and break bone.
Federal Premium self defense cartridges are pricey. Running $22 per box of 20 around here. Availability still seems good for both the 185 as well as the 230 Hydra-Shoks. Probably because pricing has slowed sales.

When Glock first came out, I thought get that "plastic" junk away from me. A good friend had a G19 (only the G17 and G19 were available). He convinced me to try it. I did, it shot fantastic, carried easy, and I traded a 4" S&W 629 it and extras. I carried it in Detroit for 3 years, and overseas and have never looked back. I've changed to the 40 S&W in a G27 and G22 for duty guns, department decision on the 40; however, feel that these Glocks have never let me down. I realize newer guns and systems have come on the scene; but, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!", works for me. Oh yeah, the guys at the SO gave me the name "Doc with a Glock" and you don't want to disappoint the guys you life depends on! For summer carry, S&W 38, and 638s have the nod. Daughter loves her Kahr PM9 and is "lethal" with that pistol. She has outshot her male counterparts at Gunsite, and Front Sight frequently with the Kahr.

[quote=cottonstalk]I like the Firestar M-45quote]
That reminds me of my mostest favorite autoloader I ever caried as a CC gun. Star PD in 45acp. About the size of a Colt Cammander, but an alloy frame. Accurate, light, compact, powerful, dependable. What more could a guy want?

I have a 45acp 1911 and a beretta 40s&w. I find myself picking up That colt far more often.
But I agree with a simple short barrel 12ga with 9 rounds of 00 buck for home defense!
