#2 Springfield XDM. I have shot glocks, I hate their grips, they feel funky while they shoot and get muzzle heavy as the magazine empties. I don't care if other people like them. Though I also don't like the idea of having a pistol with enough incidents to get an accident named after it. "Glock leg"

#3 No, I'm not a carpenter, but I insist on a hammer.

#4 Ugh... glocks. Hammerless is... meh, okay, I got a snub nose Taurus for the wife, but did Taurus have to copy the whole thing ? What is it with the sexless boxy design these days ?

Only revolvers for me.

I get to draw my gun so little I went all out and imported a Chiappa revolver in .357 on my new prohibited bore license in 2012, soon everybody wanted to see and shoot it. Nearly flew outta my boss's hand once.

#5 A Colt has a hammer
End of discussion
One shot one kill
The fight is over

#6 I don't understand why none of the Glocks have a manual safety? It looks like the Smith & Wesson has moved away from manual safeties as well.

#8 Work on yer English, "Spanky."
Proper names for English-language mass media publications usually drop the definite article.

#9 Crusader, it's because people think they will forget or won't have time to take the safety off in a gunfight. I am seriously not kidding. As if taking 2/10's of a second to drop the safety will matter. I've shot IDPA matches with my H&K USP and never once forgot the safety. Personally I think that's an idiotic reason to make your gun an accidental discharge waiting to happen. While the XDM I use doesn't have a safety you flip, it does have a grip safety. If it didn't, I'd have waited six more months and bought a H&K or Sig that did.
