My brother carry a Taurus .45 for his conceal weapon license. It got lifetime warranty (he said) and it very accurated for the money.For the stopping power to me i carry H&K .45 ,save money and invest on something that you comfortable with and other life depend on you.

I carry the Springfeild XD .45 and it is a great handgun. It has a 13+1 capacity, and is accurate as any other .45 I have shot. The wife even shot the gun and fell in love with it. I only paid 550 for the new gun, 2 Mags, holster, and a two mag holster. My only complaint are the holsers were kind of on the cheese side. Oh yeah it came with a gun lock that I ended up using for a lock on an outdoor shed.

If you're rich, get a Glock. if you're poor, get a job and a Glock. I'm starting to come around to the idea of an XD, but I won't be selling my Glocks off just yet. 1911s are great guns if you enjoy visiting your gunsmith.

If you can't win their hearts and minds, then expose their hearts and minds to open oxygen. WHEN IN DOUBT, THIRTY OUT!!
