GLOCK 19 (do your research) my job is in private armed security and i compete in two-gun as well. The Glock 19 and springer XDM are great 9mms.
If you have money to burn and want a classic 1911 go for an officer size COLT or KIMBER ultra in .45.
I carry my Glock 19 as an E.D.C. Replacing my COLT officer due to the 17+1 vs 7rounds of the Colt.
You can go along with the 67% law enforcement that carry Glocks, or people who are hated on "JAMES YEAGER" Tactical response an ex private security contracter and L.E.O. Who says every gun should be a Glock-19..
GLOCK easy to modify from a 5.5lb trigger to 3lb for $20 and you can do it yourself with just a toothpick to take it apart!
Watch the Tactical response YOUTUBE video "GLOCK TORTURE TEST" 1,000 continuous rounds about 63 mags...
