Must agree with what you say. Most people think that a gun just shoots with nothing more than puting a bullet in it. An semi-auto pistol needs to be cleaned and greased even if it has not been fired. Now I know that Glocks are a popular pistol (probably because of the price) but they are cheaper for a reason they are not made for constant use (yes police use them but how often does a police officer actually use his weapon).

Buying any pistol the person must try different calibers and different guns. DONT GET A PISTOL BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL. Also the argument between 45 and 9 is a joke. In the idea of running around with 1000 rounds I will always pick the 9. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I agree with you on everything except the whole .45 or 9mm thing.

Sure, 9mm's have more ammo capacity and they are more accurate, but they lack the stopping power. M1911's are more powerful. Lets say you could kill a zombie by shooting them in the chest too. The 9mm would take you 3 or 4 rounds before it would go down. The m1911 would take 1or 2.

Also; if you need more ammo capacity that means you aren't as accurate and you'll miss a lot. If you have weapons training then you'd feel comfortable with less ammo capacity. Do you find this valuable?

What would be a more long term/durable pistol?

I find the whole .45 vs 9mm a give and take situation. More power vs. more bullets and many more arguments like that. Do you find this valuable?

". DONT GET A PISTOL BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL. "
I choose to disagree.

I refuse to carry a pistol that doesn't look cool.

Cool pistols shoot just as good as dorky ones without the self esteem issues. Do you find this valuable?
