Well I will add Glock back into my "maybe" category for checking out since I read so many law enforcement use them. I will try to keep the explosions and such in the back of my mind.
To answer a quetsion from someone who posted:
I am new to wanting to carry/have a handgun for home defense.
I want to use for defense and carry and home.
The reason I am proceeding is 3 fold:
I feel the world is getting more violent even Indiana.
I have read about the rash of home invasions and killings and even carjackings ending in execution style killlings.
another is a few years ago a man in a pick up pinned me in at a HARDEES drive up order microphone thing. He pulled in front of me and i couldnt even get out to go inside because the order thing blocked my door and cars were behind me. This moron kept raving about his wife and such ... I assume he thought i was a guy that looked like some dude cheating with his wife. eventually he left after he realized i didnt have aclue what was going on but i felt pretty helpless. had he had a gun id been sitting duck and stuck even tho he was wrong. I didnt like that feeling.
Another incident was around christmas when lots of people were out of town 2 punks dressed like goth punk rockers kicked on a door across from my apartment. i went out to peek out and saw them beating and kicking the door and it finally was kicked in. They ran in and rumaged around. I called 911 but i guess they left before the police arrived if ever (no idea when they arrived I waited for a long time but it was like 4am).
So back on topic.
Are smith and wesson guns better than glocks/springfields for self defense home defense and carrying? which is moire carry friendly?
