PS--Please don't get me wrong. Glocks are fine weapons. Glocks DO have a different trigger and trigger feel but it takes some range target practice to get used to the Glock trigger and feel. Some people can't hit a barn from 25' with a Glock until they get used to it. Those who use it on a regular basis and have invested the range time know what an excellent side arm it is.
I've shot .38's, 9's, 10's, and (as a personal preference) love the .45. It's ALL personal preference though, so go test-drive as many different types you can before deciding.
I don't care if it's going to go through a burglar/home invader and tear up my wall. That's what Home Depot is for. I'll have to go there to get stuff to clean up all the blood stains and broken front door after the cops leave anyway.
(That is unless the German Shepherds didn't tear him to shreads first befire I had a chance to air condition him with .45 ACP.)
