Groo has it - go with the one you, personally, can reproduce the best results with. For some, that’s a Glock. For me, it’s snubnose revolvers - the heavier caliber, the better. Pump 100 rounds through each at a shooting range that carries each or a similar model. You’ll pay a little now, but save time, hassle, and possibly a life in the long run.

i have carried glock, xd, kahr, ruger and a couple others, but i always go back to small frame 1911s. i use a full size mag with grip adaptor, which I normally wouldn't do for carry but the extension makes the pistol easier to draw (usually hip carry).

i am a practiced pistol shooter and i shoot the other pistols well enough but i have the most confidence in the 1911 (Springfield micro compact model in ,45) so that pretty much answers the question for me.
