I agree. IMO, this is one of the worst discussion thread that TGO has produced. Normally, discussion is less biased and more focused on needs/requests of initial post.
BTW, my wife's favorite defensive handgun is a Glock 34 (9mm tactical practical) with a TLR-1 light. She prefers it to any of the other handguns that she's tried (various Ruger & S&W d/a revolvers, Beretta m92, full and mid-sized 1911s, seecamp, AMD backup, Subcompact XD9, S/A Ruger, etc). If this lady is still around, I stand by my advice for her to visit Coal Creek and test out a few handguns. Given the creepy guy, I recommend a pistol that would accept a tactical light.
