I currently have a M&P 9c which I like but I want to add another pistol to my collection. The M&P fits my hand well and is my CCW pistol. The glock would be a full size, range/hunting backup/HD/LEGO pistol.
A full size would be more comfortable for long duration range sessions. It would be a hunting backup (pistol caliber is legal for deer in the state but that's another debate) when hunting BP during shotgun season and a full size frame makes more sense during a 0200, half asleep HD event. Being a glock, you can buy virtually anything for it (sights, barrels, trigger work, ect) and that fits my "I need to mess with/modify something" nature.
So, I could stick with 9mm and keep the ammo selection simple or I could get a .40 or 45acp for something different. Then of course there is the "c" variants.
The 9mm appeals to my practical sense (why stock half as much in mixed caliber when I could buy in bulk for one caliber) but getting a 45acp would be a welcome change though ammo costs become an issue for a "range toy". Lastly, I've read that the .40 and 45acp chamber does not fully support the case head which makes me concerned.
