You guys do realize there is no monogamy requirement in the 2nd amendment.

I love my 1911s as well but a glock 19 is not a bad basic all around place to start.

I prefer a 1911 to a glock :D

But I don't care what other people carry.


I prefer an xd to a Glock, because like the 1911 it properly has the correct grip angle and grip safety.

Agree

I have my fair share of blued, stainless, Tupperware and even some non-Russsstra approved pot metal pistols.

Time to ditch all of those crappy button guns and go all paddles. :o

Grip safeties, one more thing to go wrong.

Seems this feature has stood the test of time.

To each their own :) , and I started out as a 1911 guy. But I've seen many times on the line when people manage to not disengage the grip safety and spend seconds trying to figure out why they can't pull the trigger. It's either the grip safety, or the other safety. I'll take striker fired, no manual safeties.

Bill Jordan chose the revolver over the 1911, because he didn't like those safeties.

As someone with relatively small hands, I find paddle releases to be advantageous as I can very easily depress the right side paddle with my trigger finger to drop the magazine without changing my grip. A standard magazine release normally requires me to swivel the gun slightly to the left for my thumb to reach the button.

That is exactly why I love paddle releases. If I ever own a button gun, it will have to be one with either reversible or ambidextrous buttons so that I'll be able to hit the button with my trigger finger. Doing things that way is also beneficial for competition; it is literally impossible for me to reload with my finger on the trigger, as I'm using that finger for something else at the time - no way I can get called for it. :)

Love the Walther guns, but HK also makes some very nice options with paddles - USP, P2000, P30, VP9, HK45. I've even read credible accounts of the USP .45 being able to handle shooting .45 Super, if you need something "heavier." (Someone over on pistol-forum.com apparently carries one loaded with .45 super in Alaska because bears are a legitimate threat, and he couldn't get 10mm Glocks to be reliable with heavy hard cast loads)
