I bought a 9mm and love using it, but am debating what to get for home protection at a higher caliber. I like the looks of the 1911 45's and I also like the idea of a 40 caliber Glock or 10mm Glock. I think I want a semi-automatic, so the revolver is out... Finally, should I get a shorter barrel (4" or less) or stick with the standard 4.5 - 5" barrel? Your advice would be very much appreciated...
