Glocks are cheap and reliable, but i cant vouch for their accuracy. very popular with police depts.

handguns arent the best for home defense. if you have multiple intruders you need something like this:

I have an xd-40 and love it. You should check out the xdm although it may be a bit much.

Nothing beats a shotgun for home defense. The Judge wasn't designed for that. Lots of good handguns out there but you need to find something that fits YOU.

Most of the answers your getting and gonna get are what people have. The best thing to do would be to test these weapons for yourself because some people are accurate with Glocks(I am), some are not. Alot of people don like the Glocks because their frame and shape does not feel normal to them. So go shoot some guns at a range. I used to go to Top Gun off of Richmond and Fountain View over by 59S. Its a nice indoor range wth a helpful staff with lots of knowledge and lots of weapons to rent, full autos too

i have a px4 .40 cal and love it! it has more recoil tho than a 9mm and .45 but as accurate as a bullseye all my guns have a hammer and this is the only one i would trust with my life. I carry it daily and take it to the gun range to prove its not just a holster queen. I put green trijicons and a stainless steel guide rod. its italian, what more can i say i had the px4 sub compact but didnt use it much and sold it.

1911's. the 1911 platform has been around for 100 years and you cant go wrong with one. you can customize it to death if you like, or leave it as it comes. Colt is probably the best.

I like federal premium rounds but not the regular hydra shok.
Balistic test have showed them to fragment and not expand all that well.
I carry and recommend federal premium HST's. Law enforcement tactical. Tests show them expand to a quarters size in the .45 platform. Check em out.

How did you like the PX4 sub-compact compared to the regular PX4? Was your sub-compact also a .40? I have been looking into those two pistols.

the subcompact was a 9mm so i got used to it really quick, very accurate with it. I use winchester target ammunition for the range and ranger for carry. I still have my first paper target i used with the SC. What i liked most was that it felt like holding my full size PX4 but with obviously shorter barrel and grip.

Does this one have the soft ribbed grip? I have noticed Taurus has an excellent warranty.

I dont like the safety on the back of those. I dont think the originals had them that way.

Yes, very comfortable.

I had a problem with it jamming the first time I took it to the range. I had just taken it out of the box and didn't even clean it. After this I have never shot a new gun without cleaning it first. After I cleaned it the first time I have shot 1500+ rounds through it and never had another failure.

I highly recommend it as a target/home protection gun. I wouldn't want to carry it all the time though as I would prefer a compact gun to conceal.

I would even recommend it over many of the more expensive guns. Out of all the 9mm's I have put numerous rounds through this and/or the XD9 would be my top two choices, and I have shot quite a few. The only gun I would prefer to have is a Kimber 1911 in a .45, however I don't want to spend that much money on the gun or the ammo.

I don't even buy 9mm ammo as often anymore, now that prices are way up. At the range I shoot my Walther P22 ALOT more...the ammo is so cheap!

I love my HK .40 USPc

It is the perfect blend of function, reliability and ergonomics for me, but if function and ergonomics weren't important (to me) I'd carry a Glock with just as much confidence and they are a bit less expensive.

I love the 1911, but I'd never use one as a carry pistol, they just take too much work to become both reliable and suitable for carry use (imho). Having said that I think Springfield Armory gives you the best bang for the buck in a 1911.

Glock would be my suggestion - see if one fits you. I personally can't stand holding one and the safety drives me batty, but there is no arguing that they are a great gun and are priced VERY reasonably - they are also incredibly reliable.

Also consider a revolver if you are looking for accurate, reliable, and affordable. I don't think the compact .38s are any fun to shoot, but if you want something small and cheap that will fire every time a Taurus .38 would never do you wrong. There are also a number of larger frames that are fantastic, and the .357 is an incredible(and affordable) round.

The grip safety? Yeah. 1911's have always had those since day one. The second one in the pictures is not a 1911. Its a Browning Hi-power.

I cant sign up for that site.

well , i own a glock 23. but the judge is nice it shots ( shot gun) and (45) which is a nice combo, just this gun is not very accurate .(far range)
i shot alot of guns and the xd and glock are the 2 best, but for resale
the glock is king
