Re: Which one do you like in a semiauto pistol

XD sub-compact 9mm with night sights. Goes bang and I can shoot it well.
Having said that the next pistol is a Glock 17, for defense and as a trainer for the wife and kids.

Great out to 100yrds and perfect for the quick 20-35 yd shots I take for deer and small game.
