Actually, I am a fan of S&W M&P's, Springfield Armory XD's and the various polymer pistols out there. I shoot IPSC and having an all steel pistol on my hip reminds my lower back and I of working as a carpenter or ironworker for a living. Did you know that a high percentage of LE officers that are off work on some type of disability claim comes from low back issues caused by the weight of the duty belt?
