What says Aldeer?


If you don't about Glock's reputation then you aren't qualified to carry one grin

I've got a shield and glocks, they have all been 100% reliable. But if I could only keep one, the S&W would be finding a new home. However- if the lack of a manual safety on the Glock scares you, then by all means pack the S&W.


I have shot and handled many pistols and have owned a S and W for years. This will be my first cc. I just don't have a bunch of pistols like lots of people here do, does one have jamming problems or a strange recoil that harms its reputation, that is what I meant by dependability and reputation.

The s and W has a no manual safety model as well. I liked it better than the one with the safety
