Criteria for a fighting handgun:
1.Does it go bang each and every time you want it to?
2.It doesn’t it require certain proprietary manipulations to operate.
3.It uses readily available combat caliber ammunition.
4.It is both strong and weak hand friendly.
And finally,
5. Can its operator hit a desert sized target at 20 yards from the holster quickly and repeatedly with it.
All else is fashion and fluff.
I may be showing my ignorance here but what is a “desert sized” target?
