the 19/23 size is more confortable in hand, i find the 17/22 unconfortable. Im getting a 19 soon, i wish there were no dumbfinger grooves but i can put up with them and get them grinded down and retextured at a later date

10mm is for MEN. MEN carry steel guns. lol
My buddy had to qualify with the 10mm before he was allowed to carry it and he handles it pretty bad ass.

The whole real men needs steel gun is too old fashion. Plastic fantastic is the way of the future

*head-desk*

As much as loathe 9x19mm FMJ NATO hardball, I took solace in the fact that my M-9 was a solid chunk of steel.

The M-45 is almost enough to make we want to re-enlist in the Marines. Almost.

Was it ever? Also you can pistol whip someone with a Glock. The slide's still metal

Well, if the Patriot and assorted westerns are to be believed, then bfore the advent of the self contained cartridge, pistol whipping was an effective combat techinque.

Furthermore, I once saw my Platoon Sergeant, who is a deputy sheriff, in real life pistol whip a Taliban fighter who was rather velhemently resisting being flexi cuffed and shoved in the back of a Humvee.

When I queired him about it, he only replied

"Things were different before cell phones."

Well they still make the Alternate Force Block .

It seems that some people might still need to pistol whip someone.

I carry a Glock 19 on duty and a Glock 26 as my backup/off-duty pistol. Though I sometimes also carry my Glock 19 when off-duty. It's interesting to note that the OP lists Australia as his/her home. So this is really a moot question for the OP. Unless he/she is planning on moving to the U.S. and becoming a U.S. citizen.

The Glock really is an everyman gun. It's simple, easy to take down and shoot, no external safeties to worry about. Point and shoot.

He/She also listed hobbies as making homemade weapons...make sense since that country won't allow you to have REAL weapons
