[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 2905605, member: 24583"] In my opinion, I would try to find a range or short course that will let you shoot as many of those pistols as you can and see what fits YOU best. Every firearm feels different in my hand, even between same brands. Many firearms have different angles on the grip, different functions such as, S/A. D/A etc, hammer or hammerless. Then other functions. I am a Colt 45 guy, my Sig P238 (Baby colt copy) pocket pistol has the same feel, angle of grip, function to draw, thumb safety DOWN and shoot, as my 1911, and same magazine release. Works for me. For me, condition one is normal and both have a great safety locks, never found either to have been tripped off accidentally, (none are ambi) and I am an active person., and the sights are similar. I can rack to clear in the dark, and change to a second magazine while looking down range at my target. I had a Lama 1911 one time, angle of the grip was off, couldn't easily make it work for me, got rid of it. If my pocket pistol had safety up, had to rack, very different sights, magazine release was the bottom of the trigger guard, and needed to tilt back 10 angle to get on target, I might have to spend a few milliseconds to adjust to which firearm I was shooting at the moment. I feel if I have a tense situation already, as old and show as I am, I do not want to have to remember to flick the safety the opposite direction at that moment. The firearms company's make all these brands and models so they can fit better for an individual person than their competitor, whether it be in bore, feel, function, number of shots, price, etc. No one can pick out a wife for you or firearm that will be best for you, they only can give you an opinion of their experiences. Only you can find the one that you think fits best for you. Good luck, and remember, down the road, trading firearms is much less expensive than trading wives, mistakes are allowed. I really do not want to sit here and count up how many pistols I have bought or traded for to find my best perfect current carry's. Someday I should start selling some of the rejects. Have to think about it. [/QUOTE]
