I am in the same position that many before me have been in. I cant make up my mind which one to add to my collection.
I have some money set aside to purchase my first semi auto and cant make up my mind. I want a 45 in something I can carry if I need to.
Here is my list of choices:
1) Glock 30 or 36
I like the Glocks because of there ease of use & maintance but have some concerns with them regarding the use of reloads & the lack of any real saftey.
2) Kimber SS 3" Barrel
Would love a 1911 of some kind but I am not sure I would feel comfortable with L&C should I ever decide to carry.
3) HK Compact
Great shooter. I rented one the other day on a suggestion from the man behind the counter. That only added to the confussion as to which one I wanted. It shoots good, handles well, and I like the option to carry in condition 1 or 2.
4) Springfield Armory
I hear a lot of good things about these guns and I belive I can pick one up for a lot less than a Kimber.
So let the great debate begin. I am asking for your help because I suck at making up my mind. Money is not a real concern, but the thought of getting a Glock for $500 would leave plenty for mags & holsters. Yes, one of everything would be nice. But for now it will have to be only one.....for it will be a long time before I can ever afford a new gun. Starting a new family does nasty things to your wallet So I wanted to get a 45 while I still have a few extra bucks!
Thank you in advance for any feedback!
