| Centurion | My Brother-in-Law, who is currently an attorney and who used to be a sheriff’s deputy, carries a .22 cal Berretta and I think he is nuts for the very reason you just raised Redneck :!: :!: Personally, I think the .45 cal is a much better service round than anything - particularly if you fire it out of a Glock Model 21. The US made a big error when it passed up the Glock as a service weapon (in .45 cal, 9mm or .40 cal). I like my Berretta 92SB, but if you are deployed out in the boonies, you need a reliable, durable weapon that won’t quit on you.

| Buttercup ![]() | Definitely, and the Glock fits that bill nicely, very user-friendly and it's simple so it's hard to break, but it just isn't as sexy as the Berretta.

| The fire is everything... ![]() | We use the 9x19mm Glock 17 as the standard extra sidearm in the Norwegian Army. (and also for medical personnel) I think it's a great weapon for it's purpose, easy to use and maintain. http://www.glock.com/g17.htm |

| Buttercup ![]() | One thing I don't like about the Glock (which actually goes for many newer firearms) is that it feels like a toy, it's too light and too plastic. It just doesn't feel like much of anything. But that's just aesthetics. |

| Buttercup ![]() | Never thought about that before, a .30 is a 7.62? Is it a short cartridge like the rounds originally used in the M1 Carbine, or have yours' been modified? |

| Guest | Para Ordnance P-12 Alloy, .45ACP. LeMas CQB loads. (great for low profile Conceal Carry) I have three Colt .45 ACPs GMs. I do like Glocks okay. Fast and accurate, but they do feel like a toy. Although, I carry a Sig for work, not too bad either. |

| Buttercup ![]() | Sorry, I don't know much about Sigs, or Marine sidearms, but is your's a .40 or a 9mm? |
