Update:
Went to the LGS today. Handled a few different guns. Ended up going with a Glock 23 Gen 4. Just seems like a nice package. I carry mid size compacts typically so I could carry this if I wanted. I figure parts availability and accessories (especially conversion barrels if I go that route) is hard to beat with Glocks. I must say I still love the Gen 4 texture and the tiny reduction in trigger reach is a nice plus for my hands. There were also a bunch of boxes of the black and white Winchester boxed 180 gr 40SW bonded JHP. My understanding is this is government overrun. Either way it seemed decent and I got 100 rds of defense ammo for $40. The availability of stuff for the 40SW is really encouraging. Will post a range report or update late this weekend.
