Is there a good compromise between Glock and 1911?

[BlindJustice]

I caught a link to US LEO, Military, and Fed Agencies, as well as Non-USA LEO and Military links - seemed to be a survey of how each unit/country has for inventory of small arms.

In Europe, if there is a pistol built in that country - that's what they shoose for general service
Germans - SIgs
French MAS 15
Spain Star 30M
Italy Berretta M92
Czech Rep.- CZ 75B
Poland Sig and 75B
Brits BHP version
Belgian Fn whatever
AUstria Glock

ANd S&W revolvers in .38/.357 show up throughout EUrope
not just J-frames either. The french like the 686.

Special forces of all the above - HK USP and they up gun to .40 S&W or .45 ACP - seems the USA is the only one with widespread adoption of this cartridge, so why doesn't the Military just do it

Elsewhere there's a lot of Sig 226/229 some 228 followed by
Clock 17 and the fading BHP or copies and the CZ or COpies of the CZ
???

Oh, the city cops and SHeriffs in this county carry .45 ACP
Glock and Kimber respectively in SE Wash. State.

In a world of compromise, some men don't! -- just ask HK
Go w/ the USP -- probably a compact model & carried cond 1

Since we're talking about gun manufacturers, and the countries they produce weapons for.

Over 70% of the small arms used by the United States are made by FN. The FNP line has a lot going for it; stainless slide, stainless forged barrel, a rich history of quality within FN, and a great price.

FN makes Sigs, Glocks, S&Ws, Colts, KImbers et Al???? 70% what hole of make bellieve did you pull that out of?

whoops! sorry. over 70% of the small arms currently in use by United States MILITARY. my mistake

take it from me; don't try to type after a tall Scotch and water or two.

I like the USP design. It is available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. The compacts are also available in .357 Sig.

It is available with a SAO trigger like the 1911. It is a polymer as well, like the Glock.

Of course the XD is polymer like the Glock but has a grip safety and no manual safety (it is an option though).

Its really up to you. My advice though, is to get a Sig P220.
