I don't want to spend a ton, but looking for dependable/comfortable. Glock, Springfield, Colt or others??? "The voice of reason!"

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

I am a fan of Ruger for many reasons. Quality, engineering, design, reliability, durability, fit, and they make sense to me. Wifey is always happy with a Ruger too. If I was in the market for a new gun, I would definitely look at the Sig Legion series. FRAC LIVES MATTER

Glock, Springfield, Colt or others??? if your comfortable with smith the M&P 2.0 is a good place to start glock 17 or glock 45mos go to a place that rents and buy several boxes of ammo most places it is one fee to rent all you want in one caliber for the hour start by finding the ones that feel good in the hand you can do that at a well stocked store , start a list keep the Glock 17 in the mix just for a solid comparison until you have shot it compare magazine prices , holsters , ask your self besides full size what am I looking to use it for America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
