+1 For the Glock 36. If you're considering a 1911 then round count isn't an issue for you. The G36 is slim enough / light enough / and cheap enough to carry without worry.
I cant justify a carry gun with an external safety, if you dont train with it, like 90% of people dont, or shoot other types of pistols a lot, when the time comes you might pull dead wood on someone when your life is on the line...no thanks
