well I know a lot of folks are into 1911s and also .40...

but I would have to say this, to a Kel-Tec and Bersa pistol owner...

9mm ammo is cheap and effective. If you can get more rounds for the dollar, you may practice more and you might become much more comfortable with your pistol. This is a counter to the .40 argument. I don't want to get into a calibre debate but I guess we will anyway.

Also, a manual safety to me is a terrible idea for a self-defense pistol. I would select one with a safety design that you are comfortable with, but that does not require two actions in order to fire. This is of course just MHO. Certainly there are thousands of people trained to nearly instinctively disengage the safety before firing but I don't think I would want to rely on that under stress.
