At least no one has claimed they'd choose a .380 auto...
Heh heh...

Glock 19

As is normal for most glocks it has excellent reliability, good mag cap at 15rds., very durable finish and accuracy is acceptible.
Two of its greatest qualities are its weight and size.
Loaded it is a full 5oz + lighter than a 17 or 22 or my 5 in alum 1911.
Its physical dimensions are just small enough to make a real difference when you are trying to conceal it over a standard service auto.
Another suprise for me, this pistol can be run at high speed. Its more difficult to clean up the sights at speed but it can be done.
The mag change is slower than with a full size but thats ok..

I'd take a 22 if it was all I could get a hold of...they all look like canons when your on the other side, and I wouldn't want to get shot by any gun.

Well most people who are serious about self defense have a pistol larger than 22 cal for a reason.

They dont look like cannon's to me...

It has to be the Glock 7 :D

"That punk pulled a Glock 7 on me, you know what that is? It's a porcelain gun made in Germany. It doesn't show up on your airport metal detectors and probably costs more than what you make in a month."

Glock 22 hands down, the sig is getting closer and closer to being relegated to the role of eye candy only and the S&W is not as comfortable to shoot. .40 and .357 sig barrels for it, and undeniable reliability, plus GED says the same so thats another check in the win column to me...
