To each their own. What works, works! I think the best thing is for the adult to be the adult, and show their kids how to be a good one. No one knows their kids better than they do, and so your method worked for you. It would be great if a lot more parents knew how to be good...

Glock 19 Gen4. Of course, like you said, depending on the shooter, but for the general answer I'd start with the 19. Best pistol you can buy for the money. Key there...for the money. The G26 subcombact is also a nice choice to look at. I carry the G17 Gen4, but have carried the 19 and love...

Without hesitation: Glock 19. I carry the G17 Gen4, but love the 19. It is a little better to conceal, and you get 15 rounds. With technology today, you don't need anything more than a 9MM. I personally use the Hornady Critical Duty. Look it up! It's good stuff. Also, a lot of LE...

I'd say do what you want to do. Get something you're going to enjoy and feel good about, meaning have no questions about "will it work".

The new slim line G21 is better than the previous models, but still just a little bit too big for me. I have access to the trigger swap at no cost, so that's an easy fix for me. I think you're right though, hand fitment is key.

First, the best thing you can do to eliminate/reduce accidents is proper training. Keeping loaded guns in the house with children is not unsafe when you do things right. When the children are too young to even thing about such things, they don't even know the gun(s) are in the house. Keep...

What are your opinions of the S&W M&P 45? I have owned two, and recently traded my 1911 in for the second one. I like the way this weapon handles, the striker fire aspect, and the magazine capcity. It fits my hand MUCH better than the Glock21, and I understand a lot of LE agencies are...

Understood...thanks for your input! Enjoyable.

You miss the entire point of this discussion. I said for fun...although there may be no immediate discussion ongoing, there has been plenty and it is being discussed behind closed doors. Don't kid yourself on that! So, back to the point, can you just play along, or do you still feel the need...

That may be, but that isn't the subject. I used USAF purely as an acronym for US Armed Forces....not to represent who leads the way. Today, however, the US Army leads the way on these issues. It is the test bed, and all branches are issued what the DOD says.

Yeah, I know all this...as I said in another post, the M9 will carry us into the next decade...that wasn't the point of the thread bruh. Do you have any thoughts on what you would like to see the M9 replaced with?

Understood...but the topic is replacing the sidearm. I think you will agree that anyone who has served knows the primary weapon is the rifle. It is our first and offensive tool...the pistol is purely a defensive weapon, but it has proven to be critical at times. CQC being a prime example...

Well, actually, a lot of LE agencies are starting to switch back to the 9MM or .45. Why? B/c they get better hits. Truth is for most the .40 is a very harsh and snappy round. It's all about the hit. If you can't hit your target it doesn't matter what you're shooting.

Excellent point! And the M&P is gaining a lot of popularity, as it should. Great guns, and in the .45, it is a very good alternative to the 1911. They come with a 10 round magazine, and you can get up to 14 rounders. Makes good sense!

LOL!!! Good one...
