I didn't take your comments as demeaning...and even if they were it's no skin off my back. Enough people like them that Gaston Glock will die a very, very rich man, so I guess it worked out well for him.

I like all handguns...or at least MOST handguns. I just happen to be partial to Glocks when it comes to concealed carry.

Sig 245 - Got one already, and I really like it. I was just wondering if you'd seen one. It's one of the few TDA single stack .45's out there, and the only one of quality. My stumpy lil' fingers can't make it all the way around a double stack of .45 ACP.

To me its like wrapping my hand around a rough cut 2X2.... too blocky and square...........

I found that with most of the Glocks I held. That or thee grips where too short for my hand to be confortable. I did try a 27 once and it actually felt alright.

As for no manual safety, the person holding the gun is the ultimate safety. My 96D has no safety. But that is why it has a 38# trigger with a three inch pull (yes I'm exagerating). That is the one thing I don't like about it. But for personal protection it will do it's job. Inside of 10 yards I can group about three inches in a hurry. Not great but good enough. I do like the Baby Eagles too. I'm solid to 25 yards when plinking with it.

Thanks for the SH info. Discovered the name was the holster after a short crusie of GOOGLE.
