I am at heart, a pragmatist. I went with the Glock 23 because of three factors. The .40 S&W is a proven defense round (think 1 shot and a 400# Samoan hits the deck), price (I had to save up for a carry weapon, sold some of my others to do so) and the capacity + reliability. I have a really nice 1911 that my uncle used to compete with, but it's ill suited to carry.

The Glock is stock, not very pretty but it fires each time, every time, is easy to maintain and I hold a 3-4" group at 25 yds with it. It is definitely not a show piece but it is an incredibly reliable tool, no more, no less.
