Glocks are good....Steyr is better. Designed by the same guy who wanted Gaston Glock to add some basic improvements to the design(better ergonomics, optional manual safety, better sights) and was told to hit teh road. Steyr happily bought the "improved glock" and it is teh new M series of which I own.

However I shall always be a Walther fan. The most underated firearms company around.

Problem with mini autoloaders is that they are hard to draw and hold properly in a hurry. Its too easy to hold it wrong and get a jam of some sort. Smallest gun I have that I would carry is my Walther pp.

Problem is that under stress you are in a hurry to defend youself and with adrenaline you may not be able to pull out your gun fast and properly and this is an issue with carrying amini glock or other small autoloader. If you practicve enough it will not be a problem but for most people they are not a good idea.

Most people don't practice their draw anyways and very few practice drawing in the manner they ccw.

And thats a big mistake and all the reason in the world to buy a wheelgun. Its idiot proof.

I used to be a fan of Hydrashocks but have seen some tests that have made me switch my opinions.

In this test for example the Hydrashocks did not always reliably expand. I have become a Corbon and Speer convert as of late. Although I love Federals new series of expanding FMJ ammo. Great for older Autoloaders without ramped barrels such as old 1911s, Hi Powers, and P38s.
