I carry one alot. Not alot of Devil's Advocation above. I have a good selection, but when I move soon to become a neighbor of George Helser in the great state of AZ, it will be what I use in my CCW course. At the range I go to here in CT, they don't allow drawing and firing from the concealed position, but with the gun at my side, and firing quickly from 25 feet, I can hit the x ring consistently. I think you're making a wise choice. I have added Trijicon sights, Pearce grip extension, and a factory extended slide catch lever to round out the functionality to my liking.
