Right now I have a commander sized custom meldown built up on a Springfield Armory frame and slide . Barry Mowery in Albuquerque New Mexico built that for me and Jim Clark did the meltdown. Pretty much a day to day carry unless deep conceilment is needed. Then a SIG 239 or a S&W Performance center 640 snub gets the call.
Albeit the 10MM does IMHO make a dandy common caliber for urban / city needs . Kinda like a modern version of the old 1873 winchester and the Colt SAA 44-40. May have to get such a "set" for just that reason. Wonder if Ruger's little carbines are made to take the glock magazines ?
Stay Safe RR !
You got about a billion-billion karma points for that selfless act.
The 1911 is just the ne plus ultra in self defense.
The Glock is a close second.
All of the above is just my experienced opinion. :)
No one has to take me seriously, and if things go wrong, don't bother to sue me, I have shallow pockets.
