I stumbled across an article the other day, that articulates well the problems I percieve with the way most "what gun do I get?" and "what gun/'platform'/cartridge is best?" gun forum discussions go.
Pistols & Optimizing vs. Satisficing
And he goes on from there.
Pistols & Optimizing vs. Satisficing
Probably more ink gets spilled, and more pixels get launched onto LED screens, on the subject of is-this-pistol-better-than-that-one, than on any other subject in the gun world. There are many approaches to the question of which-handgun-is-best, and it’s a mug’s question, because at some point you have to decide: best for what? What’s best for a hideout pistol is not what’s best for a cop’s service pistol, and in turn a military service pistol might demand a whole different approach.
We’re going to suggest a radically different approach:
It doesn’t matter.
For most people, the question to answer is not which pistol, but a pistol.
And he goes on from there.
