Man I really don't want to say this: I agree 100% with Caleb.
We could dissect the minutia of why A or B is "better" but the reality is we carry what we do, at least in part, because that's what we want to carry. I wouldn't carry some gun I didn't like because the internet (or even experts) had decided it was the best thing to carry. Just carry your gun and be able to use it well. If some dude pulled out their carry gun and it was a red dot Gucci Glock and another pulled out an old worn out S&W 19, my response would be pretty much the same: cool.
