Thanks for the morning laugh!!
I'd get a kimber if price was no issue. For now I've had my sig pro for three years or so and it litterally has never jammed once. I agree with the others here. Don't just listen to what they tell you! Get out there and put your hands on a few.

its kind of big, but out of all mine i like shooting my baby eagle 45 the best. i'm more accurate with it then my sig p220, and it always works. never in the ~1500 rounds i've put through it has it had an issue. i can't say that for my p220. the israeli's can build a pistol, lol

Kimber customs are nice.
1911's are only a pain in the *** to break down the first time you do it. They are just a little different.
The Springfield xd's are nice too.
I really like the jericho 941, its like a baby desert eagle in .45.

My dad bought an Israeli Army Issued Nickel Plated .50 Desert Eagle from his friend a few weeks ago. That thing is wicked. I shot an Armadillo with it from about 12 feet and it exploded into about 4 or 5 little pieces. The casing hit me in the head on the way out too. Two nights later my dad killed 4 wild hogs with it.

nice. i am a fan of S&W, really like the M&P. sure, there are better guns out there, but for a price. not everyone can afford a custom kimber. and that M&P will definitely get the job done.
i've put many rounds through the walther .380 ppk/s. great CC potential, love the trigger pull and the weight. there's a reason why james bond carried a ppk

i was looking for a nice carry gun, then saw mention of a walther and remembered bond carried one, and i didnt wanna get the one from the new Bond, had to have the old-school Roger Moore one 
and yeh, i'd love a kimber, but as you said, the price kinda seals that away from many people, including myself...
btw, winger that XDM looks great, only reason i strayed from them was all the safety mechanisms they have. i didnt want my 45 to have anything but the trigger safety, but, thats me

Nice choices. My inlaws used to have a PPK. The .380 ammo seems to be getting easier to find than it was. Its still a bit pricey though, IMO., but if this is a carry pistol and not a range pistol it isn't a huge deal. I've been considering an LCP for a pocket pistol.
Now you need a ruffled shirt, possibly even an odd colored tux, and an Aston to go with the Walther. The liscense to kill would be cool too.
