Currently I carry and shoot a Sig 229 in .40 caliber, which I have had since 1997. I love my Sig but not the first 10lb trigger pull so I shot a Glock 21 which is a .45 and did quite well with it but being a polymer gun its recoil is noticable after a 100 rounds or so. I have thought about a 9mm but prefer a larger caliber to carry and I am adamant about shooting my "carry" gun. I shot an XDM45 and did better with it than the Glock but has fewer holster options. I may go to a 1911 but I am not used to flipping off safetys and they are more prone to malfunctions than plastic guns (IMHO). I am open for suggestions.

I've got a couple in 9mm and a couple in .45. Piece of cake to shoot. I've "retired" my 1911 from carry duties after I got my M&P. Shot my first IDPA-style match this weekend using my M&P w/ Big Dot sights.
