I want to get something for open carry around the property. Ah, you say, finally a new and original request. Sorry about this. But I have looked at a bunch of pistols. Some feel much better than others. Some I have not been able to actually hold (the two largest dealers in the area were out of business when I went looking). And many items on the list are easily determined from the spec sheets. What I am hoping for here is substantiated information from a broad base. Something other than "I like my xxxx Real well". But specific performance and handling benefits actually addressed.
What I am looking for:
9mm
Very reliable and durable
High capacity - >= 15 round mag
Automatic firing pin blocking
Preferably stainless or a coating to make it weather proof/resistant
Eats just about any ammo - particularly defensive rounds
+P rated
Excellent trigger:
Could be DAO, DA/SA, or SA
Good DAO without a manual safety would be fine
Logical and well laid out
No mag safety
Lock open on last round
Somebody makes a laser for it
Good selection of holsters (e.g., popular enough)
And whatever I have not thought of
I will of course appreciate your input.
