I'm with you being a Glock fan. If they made a Glock that was comparable in size and capacity to the PT-145 I bought I'd have another Glock for sure. Guys I work with complain about the Glock for several reasons; those being trigger pull and how "unsafe" it is. Now this is puzzling to me since if you keep you finger off the trigger OF ANY GUN (which is the golden rule of fireamrs) it won't go off. I also feel the Glock is a natural choice of police departments who transition from a revolver to a semi-auto since they operate the same. Both firearms you simply shoot what you need then holster the weapon, no muss-no fuss. Most other semi-autos require them to be de-cocked prior to holstering which is just one more step to remember.
The Glock may be a little crude but it's extrememly well built, proven unparalleled reliability, smoothe sides for a comfortable concealed carry and is competitevely priced. Definitely the weapon of choice.
If you're looking for the Cadillac of fairly priced handguns the Sig Sauer is it.
As far as home defence goes, the sawed off shotgun with 00 buckshot is the way to go and here's why; short range with devistating results, easy to use, no maintenance and inexpensive.
Just my thoughts....
