Counterpoint

It has been correctly pointed out that if you already own a, proven, JMB that's working...

THERE IS NO GORRAM REASON TO WASTE MONEY REPLACING IT WITH SOME NEW HOTNESS!!! 

Really.

The 1911 you've been shooting well for 20 years?  Keep it.  You're not going to do better with a Glock 19 until you spend some serious time at the range getting familiar with it.

I know this gives Gunwriters® and gun makers the vapors, but...

If you already have a pistol you can hide on you in a readily available caliber, you're set.

Be content!

Me?

I'm fascinated with guns and love playing with the new shit.

Don't follow my example.

Of course, I'm fascinated with old guns too, and have done some empirical testing showing that the S&W 39 you got from Dad's sock drawer will suffice in the real world; even if it's a bit heavier than a Glock 19 and has fewer rounds.

You can hit the archives here to see the convoluted path I tread.

    I hear ya. I'm a DA/SA guy, so I stick with that for business purposes, or a J Frame. But firearms fascinate me so I like playing around with other platforms. -JKing
