    The PX4 is actually my first choice. Other than the safety. It's just so awkward to disengage from a full grip on the pistol. If I was positive that I could get it with some practice then I would go...

    You mean just like the motorcycle riding community would all band together and wear full-face helmets? I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know, but when people ego-invest into something...

    Yes, my uncle who was a Coast Guard helicopter pilot told us a story that he responded to a situation which was almost exactly the same(it was even a .22). He probably told us that story like 15...
