I dont like 9mm very much. it just doesnt inspire any confidence in me that it can take someone down. I prefer a larger caliber, .40 or .45 mostly.

Except the .45 is on its way back. The Army, at least, is accepting designs from various manufacturers.

M-4. Why use a pistol when you can use a carbine?

If I, for some strange quirk of fate, had only those two weapons to choose from, I'd pick Glock. They're simply more comfortable to me.
