excellent, very informative. I like the ease of a Glock but worried the trigger system is not as safe as a 1911.

A properly maintained and functional firearm is perfectly safe as long as the one handling the gun is being safe. I have no issues with Glock triggers/actions but do prefer a manual safety, mostly as that it what I'm used to. There are many good options similar to Glocks that have a manual safety of some sort.

The S&W M&P with thumb safety is generally what I recommend for those looking for a "Glock-like" polymer gun with a manual safety.

thanks, i will look at one. I really appreciate your offering your expertise, and all the info on manufacturers

Take a good look at a Sig SP2022, many believe is the best kept secret in firearms, also; the S&W m&p mentioned above is also an excellent choice. Both have a lifetime warranty and excellent CS......JJ

Should be mandatory reading for anyone getting into firearms and concealed carry. It would save alot of recurrent "what do you think, or what should I get post's".

Great info VAMarine as usual

I second the Sig P2022 - it's a great gun IMHO



You might also look at the Beretta PX 4 - wonderful gun



And then the FNX 9



All three are DA/SA guns - I like hammer fired guns compared to striker fired guns.

All 3 are high quality guns..
