It sounds like the decision is already made, so why the poll?
It's funny, I was about to type that out and I saw you posted it already.
However, I think a Glock 23 Gen 4 makes an ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING defensive / service weapon. And Winchester PDX 1 180gr is what the FBI issued , perhaps still issues I believe (correct me if I'm wrong, pray excuse me, but I'm under the impression they ASKED for 9mm service weapon/service round solicitations, but they haven't actually bought them, save for the 9mm Glocks they issue females and male agents unable to pass firearm quals with the .40 S&W Glocks). It's a fine round, the same lineage and perhaps ultimate variation of the "Black Talon".
I am of the mind that there is not one "magic bullet" for ammo, so I like to keep and sometimes rotate my defensive rounds. I also primarily carry a .40, and I have Speer Gold Dots as my primary round right now (165gr, in-gun), and some now-discontinued-I-believe Winchester Ranger SXT 180grs as backup mags. Sometimes I will also use and definitely favor/respect Federal HST or Hydra-Shok (the absence or presence of a penetrator is the only difference between HST and Hydra-Shok). {for the record, I believe Hornady also makes a superior collection of ammo- across the board- but they were not very nice to me with a complaint, and Mr Hornady himself wound up responding to the emails with a curt dismissal of my problem and from then on I won't buy or support them, but their stuff is top-notch, no question.}
ANYWAY, I digress mightily, a Glock 23 Gen 4 w/ Winchester PDX-1 180gr is outstanding IMHO. I am carrying a Glock 23 Gen 3 right now, with Winchester 180gr SXTs in the backup mags in my pockets. That is, until I go pickup my brand new Glock 27 Gen 4 Battlefield Green later today, as soon as it gets delivered to the FFL and I get the damned phone call
