All poor choices, Rob. But I'm impressed nonetheless.
Everybody has their favorites, but I'm not sure how anybody could call a gun like the G29 in 10mm a "poor choice" for self-defense. The 10 is an excellent cartridge (just ask Ted Nugent!) and the G29 offers an accurate, concealable, controllable and powerful package.
I hate Glocks. And I still consider 10mm an over-powered wildcat cartridge. If concealment isn't a concern, my favorite gun is still the Browning Hi-Power in 9mm. Simple, comfortable, and accurate. If I could have only one gun, that would be it. (Or maybe my Ruger 10/22 rifle.)
