If you have to pick up a brand new semi auto "HANDGUN" and go to a gunfight, which gun would it be. For me it would be a Glock, any Glock. If all you other smart guys have got there first and have taken all the Glocks my second choice would be a Sprinfield XD anything. I hate em but I have owned one and they do indeed work everytime (provided you grip the gun the right way). Notice that I said semi auto and not revolver. I love revolvers but I am looking for which semi-auto handgun you guys believe will go bang everytime you pull the trigger. Be honest. By the way, just to show that I am not biased, I am currently carrying a Kimber 1911, BUT I would not choose any 1911 under the parameters given, especially a Kimber. It works now.
