I'm looking for a good reliable autoloader for when I can by with a larger gun than my j-frame. My round of choice is .45ACP, and I was wondering if anybody concealed carries with the Glock 36? It looks like a pocketable gun during the winter months, and would definitely ride well in the car.
So far I'm looking at the S&W M&P Compact series, and the Glock 36. I'm drawn to the Glock because I've heard good things about reliability, it's a bit thinner, and is chambered for .45acp (which would prevent me from having to have yet another ammo type - I've already got .38s/.357, .44mag, and .45acp. I am one of those people that finds the .45acp round to be one of the best shooting rounds. I find it has low recoil and high stopping power. I'd like to stick away from the .40 cal rounds, but I might consider 9mm for pure capacity and price.
That being said, I've been a Smith&Wesson fan for a while, and don't own any other brand.
