It is important that your choice of equipment be based on NEED, not fashion. You must find what works for you and understand that you are an original form unlike others. B. All hands are not the same. You may want to fall in line and buy a certain gun because everyone else around you has a certain model. Avoid that trap and look at what you NEED and your physical standards.
Fads can kill good products.
Many good firms became a hot trendy item, expanded production and costs and when the fad fell off they went out of business. I have seldom purchased anything that hasn't been on the market very long. For example I waited several years to buy a Glock. Early models had some flaws that soon surfaced and the firm was slow to correct them. Once that was done with the 9mm versions the firm had a documented and proven gun for self-defense use.
