I dont know. Had a buddy that carried a glock for his duty gun. It went done tow different times when he could least afford it to. When he needed it. He now carries a XD40.

Its hard to argue that there is anythign better than a 1911. It had stood the test of time and how many different combat situations. Sure some have limited problems but no weapon is 100% perfect 100% of the time. But after almost 100 years nothing even comes close to a 1911 IMHO other than maybe a Hi-Power.

Nothing against Kimber. But to me there is not much difference other than price compared to a high end Springfield.

I had a Cold Defender in the safe. But It will sometimes lock open with two or three rounds left in the mag. I have had several gunsmiths look at it and neither can figure out what is wrong with it. Have changed springs, mags, and shot almost every factory load I can find. Sometimes it does it sometimes it dosent. Im leaning toward a Springfield Loaded Micro-Compact. 45 w/ 3" like colt defender. Trust my other two Springfields with my life, dont see why I couldnt trust a third Springfield.

Im carring a XD9 that I have had for years. Thinking about something different now. I like the XDM but it is a little bigger than my XD. Also would like to go back to a 45 or maybe try a 40(dont have a 40 yet) I have been thinking about either a compact M&P or a 3" 1911. Please dont suggest a Glock. I know everyone loves them, but I cant stand them for some reason. Whats everyones opinion on the M&P or a smaller 1911? Or maybe something that I have not listed or looked at.
