The Glock M19 for CCW carry.

[Riposte1]

Adam;

I think I know what you mean. I dont "like" (as in appreciate for their asthetic properties) Glocks either but as functional firearms they are fine and certainly do all the things we demand of a practical defense gun.

Personally, I think the G-19 and 23 are their most efficient designs. While I prefer bigger bullets (but recognize that all handguns that are concealable are "inadequate" to turn off determined attackers instantly with one non-CNS hit), the G21 and 30 (and 20,29) are simply too big to fit my hand.

A 19 or 23 makes a fine compact package while not getting into the breakage or controlability problems I have seen with 26s and 27s (even then they are not bad guns either).

I used to carry my 23 as a backup gug but I finally just started carrying another 1911 or a LW Commander for that job, but I really would not hesitate to put the Glock back on again and I keep it in my vehicle as a "loaner" along with extra handcuffs, flashlights, ammo, etc.
