I'm in Australia, therefore am not permitted to carry. If I was to carry, I think it would be a Glock. My reasoning? Well, I've just gone through the process of obtaining my pistol licence, and I really don't have much experience with pistols. At the club I was able to shoot a lot of different pistols such as Walther PPQ, CZ Shadow 2, STI, Bul, and Glock. When you're a beginner, it's hard to know the difference in feel with many of them, because you don't know what you don't know. The Glock just felt simple, and to me, simple is good. It's just basic and functional. I'd imagine if I was allowed to carry on the street, that's what I would want, just a point and shoot, reliable, no frills gun. The price point isn't too bad either compared to some, so you won't cry if it is subject to a bit of wear and tear. In any case, I bought a Glock 34 gen 5 for the range and will get it shortly when my permit clears. It probably wouldn't cut it as an everyday carry perhaps, but in a smaller version, I think it would be pretty easy to live with.
