Re: whats your favorite .40?
I've got a Glock 27 and a 23. The 27 is too small for me to shoot well, but the 23 rocks. I have a LaserMax internal laser in it and a rubber slip-over grip. About 15 extra mags. No New York...

Re: Good 9mm
Anybody tried the new Kel-Tec 9mm single-stack? I love my P3AT .380 but obviously a 9mm would be nice in a similar sized package. The new K-T sounds pretty good.
