I use a glock for IDPA but I'm not a big fan. I'm also not a fan of the XD. I've carried a Kimber and they are IMO overpriced but still nice. If you are looking for a 1911 there are better values out there. Springfield armory Range Officer is a good value. Other semi-autos I would suggest would be the Smith and Wesson M&P, I like the C.O.R.E line personally but it might have features you don't need. Another nice pistol is the CZ-97.

My personal opinion is that home safety should start with a shotgun. A pump 12g is a relatively cheap. A high capacity semi-auto rifle is the best all around self defense weapon but requires a larger investment. A pistol is a compromise weapon, giving up accuracy and stopping power for ease of carry. As such it home defense capabilities are limited.

Thanks Durus.

I have a Mossberg 12-gage pump.

I have plans to look into a semi-auto rifle as well. Not sure how the upcoming restrictions will affect them, but I definitely have to look into it.
