[QUOTE="bit, post: 422040, member: 10262"] Sigs are nice but they're costly and you shouldn't shoot reloads through them. Glocks are nice and easy to break down and clean and fun to shoot. You couldn't pay me to take a Baretta (I'm ex USMC and I have come to loathe the 92F - My experiences have been with guns that have had probably 12000+ rounds put through them so take this opinion with a grain of salt) S&Ws are fun 9mm tend to encourage people to spray and pray. 40's a good mix between stopping power and capacity. .45 is fun but they'll wear you out in the wallet. I love 40's and have had a lot of fun with my Sig 229 and glock 22. If you live in a high density area, use soft rounds that won't carry over into the neighbors house if you're going to use it for self defense. Recoil wise - Keep your hand high on the backstrap (the spine of the grip) and it'll lessen the recoil a bit. Use a push-pull grip instead of a cup&saucer grip and it'll reduce recoil. If you have kids, I don't recommend Glock. There are 3 safeties, but they're all internal so that doesn't do you much good - I had to get rid of all of mine when we started having kids. Your request for a safety also pretty much excludes about 98% of all revolvers which is a shame because I think they shoot better. Sig 229 if you have kids, glock 22 if you don't. Neither of these guns are "easy" to conceal (I'm short so it's hard for me to conceal anything), so they're home defense /holstered. At the end of the day, you want a gun that fits very well in your hand. Get an armorer to raidius any sharp edges and get a new york trigger job ( 6 lb pull). [/QUOTE]
