All the suggestions for Sigs and Glocks...bah...they are good and all. Get an XDm .45, they are the cats as*. Trust me you wont regret it!
Unless that P210 floats by!!!!!!
You saying I can't have both?
There's a WHOLE lot to be said for:
--NOT changing calibers on the 2nd gun, and
--NOT changing manual of arms (and ergos) on the 2nd gun (SAO, DAO, DA/SA, etc.)
So you're definitely going against the grain here, but nothing that cannot be overcome with a sufficient amount of training, if you have the time & inclination. I mention all this because you use the word "combat", which implies a very serious, high-risk self-defense use (LEO or Security duty?). I'm all for variety, but when it comes to real-world, metal-meets-the-meat self-defense, you're better off always grabbin and using the ONE gun that you've trained on the most (intentionally trained on the most by far), and stick with THAT gun, in that caliber, with that manual of arms & familiar ergos.
I guess my point is, nothing wrong with any of the calibers, or any of the make & models/manual of arms choices (although a lot of 'pros' badmouth crunchentickers, arguably for good reason), but my suggestion is that *IF* you do change caliber or manual of arms, especially manual of arms on the new gun, then ONE of them and only one of them (either the new or old), should be your the 'combat' pistol, and the other one more or less for fun only. Unless you train an awful, awful lot. Sorry; may be telling you something you already know...or maybe not.
