Glock has an extended 32 round mag but that just seems excessive. Glock and Springfield offer a 19 round which seems about right. I put a Springfield Xd in my hand today and it fit nicely. It's a full size 9 not a compact. I like the feel of the full size pistol better in my hand. A lot of guys talk about Glock having a tendency to jamb, definite negative if true. I like a grip and trigger safety and want something with a rail to add a laser. My nephew has a Glock 9 with a grip laser that's pretty sweet but it feels short in my hand.
Budget for just the weapon is $600 or less. What say the brain trust?

just get a single stack... a 1911 feels very good in the hand.. i don't have bighands either, but a 1911 feels great.
and if you can't drop the perp with 7+1 rounds of 45.. as a civvie.. you need to move to a better neighborhood or improve yer shooting.
