Jeff, I appreciate the way you present your findings, i.e. That you found what is best suited for you and your situation.

I grew up with a father who loved his 1911s and had a deep seated dislike for glocks and all polymer pistols until the day he died. Despite growing up in an obviously biased household and despite my own great appreciation for the 1911, the 45acp and many other platforms and calibers; I have found myself gravitating more towards the glock and 9mm over the years.
