I want to hit a few points that came to my head when reading the original post. However now much of them have already been covered. So this now is more reaffirming some of the opinions.

  • I don't like the way glocks feel in my hands in 2 ways. For these 2 reasons, I prefer my Sig. I can draw with my eyes closed (not that I would ever do this in real life) and when I open my eyes I am on roughly on target. Thus I believe that my posture and muscle memory will kick in when I am in a stressful situation and cannot rely on fine motor skills. Therefore this is the safer carry choice for me.
    • Top heavy, unbalanced feel
    • with my draw, my hands, and posture, the sights naturally not pointing on target.
  • I have always preferred 9mm over some of the higher calibers for the following reasons
    • Shot placement is more important.
    • 9mm is nato in a SHTF day. and i want to be able to pick up other peoples ammo.
    • 9mm is more readily available these days. This wasn't always the case thus this is a more recent advantage.
    • lastly 9mm is cheaper. Cheaper means a few things. Cheaper means I can shoot more. Which means I enjoy the hobby more. It also means I practice more. It also means I am a better shot that some of my friends because I do practice more.
I think I hit all the points in my head but i may have missed one or two.

So to summarize; 9mm is just as good as any. and choice of weapon should always include minimumlly these to factors; reliablity for when you need it, and comfort/fit/feel to the user.
