Since I started this thread some time ago, I thought that I would update it: Believe it or not, I
actually listened to what some of you guys had to say
As a new duty weapon, rather than a 1911 rail gun, after a lot of research and a lot of soul searching, I went with a new Sig 229R-1, in the Enhanced Elite version (with Beavertail) in .357 Sig. (Glocks are fine weapons, but I just don't like their feel in my hand)
This is my first Sig, and I must say that I am impressed, and with the 14 rd Mec-Gar mags, it seems like I can shoot forever without changing mags
I like the double-action first shot--makes it a little harder to have an AD and shoot somebody that I really wasn't sure needed to be shot. The Short Reset Trigger is almost as nice as a good 1911.........
Thanks to all for the good recommendations and helping me to take a good hard look at what made the most sense.
