Save me from "The Dark Side."

Well, Glocks are good reliable guns, and if you shoot one well, there's nothing wrong with spending a little time on the dark side. Glocks are good tools, but ugly. 1911s are beautiful, but high-strung and tempramental. My choice? I wanted a gun that was utterly reliable with any ammo, accurate, beautiful and classy. A gun that said "I am a discerning and competent marksman, a man of skill and distinction. I am not a spray-and-pray yuppie trendmonger, constantly battered by the winds of pop culture." So, I went with the venerable revolver. .22lr, .38 Special, .357 magnum, .41 magnum, or .45 colt, S&W or Ruger, I love them all. Don't get me wrong, I love my Kimber Raptor II, SW99, and Ruger P345 also, but let's face it, Glock, Sig, or 1911, if your gun spits brass, you're already on the "dark side" !

Shoot an HK as well. I really liked the Glock. But when I rented both guns, I found that the HK fit me much better. YMMV.

A law enforcement friend of mine pointed out you cannot perform one handed clearing maneuvers with XDs however, because you can't open the slide without the grip safety being depressed.

If you can't feel the difference from one gun to another, you need to try a different gun. One that calls out to you, and feels right in your hands.

Ummm, isn't that what I said?
Try reading the whole post.

BTW: Your guns have soul? I suggest you put 'em down for a while and go outside or something.

Seriously,

Buy the gun you and your wife both feel fits you and your requirement best.
