Glocks are fine when they are full loaded with a full magazine - especially in the .40 and .45ACP calibers.

Glocks SUCK ASS when they are emptied - especially in the .40 and .45ACP calibers. "Mr. Snappy" becomes apparent with the Glock as they go from full to empty. They are tough to keep on target as they get lighter, as they become top-heavy and unbalanced.

Hate 'em for that reason.

Got nothing bad to say about any Kimber - or just about any 1911 framed pistol, for that matter.

For home defense, a classic Colt 1911 or full-sized Kimber will do just fine and it *will* get the job done.... 'prolly save you a few pennies too. Maybe.

Forget anything that requires batteries. Good open sights and good knowledge of how to fire a pistol trumps batteries any day. I already know exactly where that .45ACP is going as soon as I draw. Draw about 10,000 times and it becomes automatic.
