My .02 cents.....
I stick with 9mm or .45......
My 1911's are .45
My Glocks are 9mm
Probably 90% of my pistols are for self/family defense. The other 10% are pistols I am buying to customize when my kids leave the nest. The 10% consists of older Springfield Champions, bushing/plug style, which caught my eye years ago. I may speak of collectible pistols, but in reality I don't consider anything I have a "one in a million"....Well, maybe one...maybe
To me 1911's have a historical romance attached to them, they stay on target best for me, and I actually like maintaining them. I carry 1911's whenever I am out and about, alone.
Glocks can be abused and will run, but in reality I no longer neglect cleaning my Glocks for years. I used to. All of my Glocks are G-17's. Near twenty of them from Gen 1 to Gen 3....no Gen 4's as of now. I mainly carry G 17's when out and about with my family, due to rounds on board. Not a spray and pray guy, but I can create havoc with 17 round mags, some with extensions.
And sometimes the carry gun of the day is dictated by events. My Black Stainless is a barbecue gun. And a funeral gun. Go figger, I don't know, just happened.
