glock 10mm. capacity, magazine availiblity, reputation, design. handy to carry, plenty of accessories and options. the only other 10mm i would consider is a kimber or other high end 1911. i had a chance to fire the one i got for my brother, and it was nice. it threw the brass a country mile, but aside from that i loved it. my glock with a streamlight in a blackhawk dropleg holster is about as perfect a woods gun as i could wish for. and i have had just about every variation over the years.
a friend has a witness, and if the safety is put on, off, on, and off the hammer will fall. not saying they are all that way, but it is enough for me to avoid them.
