My husband settled on a Springfield XD Compact 45 while my son and I went in halves to get a FNH FNX-9 9MM. The only problem now is finding the ammo. Everyone is out of stock. I managed to find 1 box at Walmart for my 9MM but we were able to grab 5 boxes of 45's for my husband. Can't wait to shoot it! I couldn't when we bought it because even the gun store has been out of most ammo.

I only got to fire it one time (had to find ammo of course) at the range before I dpeloyed, but it was a great weapon. I have to have the sites adjusted when I get home, but I'm really glad I picked it up, even with the hefty price tag. It also came standard with the threaded barrel, so when I get my supressor for it, its all ready to go.

I recall that several years some friends of mine and I bought some replica weapons for use in our Deadlands RPG (think Horror Western). My choice was a Colt .45 Single Action Revolver. It doesn't fire, but I really like the weight and balance it has for my hand. Also, as a home defense gun, I figure a .45 slug has a lot of stopping power and as a revolver it can pretty well but put in a drawer for a good while and still be expected to work if need be. I understand that one concern about magazine weapons is that the springs can wear out and cause jams and misfires.
