I do like the 10mm as a pistol round and the only thing I dislike about Glocks are the triggers, but I'm accustomed to 1911s, SIGs, and H&Ks. For an inexpensive option down the road I considered a full-size G20 (I shoot the .45 ACP G21 very accurately) and I'd have a potential hi-cap defense gun (I'd get 135-155 grain loads that would not over penetrate but maybe explode on impact of a bad guy like a small-grain rifle round) and could use it in a survival situation with heavier loads - even the lighter hunting I mentioned. Plus...much lighter than any rifle and could CCW sometime if I felt like it.
I could even get the 6" hunting aftermarket barrel for it, and of course the versatility opens right up with barrels for .40 S&W (not a big fan but to each their own) and/or .357 Sig (which I LOVE). That and a G29 to go with it would cost as much as the LW Govt Colt I've wanted to get for EDC due to a back injury, plus I could start getting G20 mags now before bans may or may not go into effect (my birthday is in a month on Groundhog's Day).
(If they're not all snatched up already or being charged scalped prices, that is.)
Oh yeah, I wanted a gun with a rail for HD anyway and can't afford a bunch of ponies like I planned now so a Colt Rail Gun or the new Marine gun isn't gonna happen...at least anytime soon. The G20 would work if I selected proper ammo.
