I like the Glock, short barrel .45. I like to have 8-12 rounds + a spare clip. Glocks are very reliable, with a barrel life of aroun 300,000 rounds!! My carry piece is a S&W .45 with a 4" barrel. If I go with an ankle piece it's the S&W Ultralight .22 loaded with Stingers. Both were bought before S&W whored out to RyanH's people.
The .40 is good, but the rounds are more expensive than a .45.
.357 is the way to go in a revolver!!! Taurus has realy stepped up, going after S&W's throat!!
