Colt, Springfield or any of the good clones. Just take the time to learn it well. A gun in untrained hands is not particularly useful and can be downright dangerous. Sort of like a talk show host lecturing on crime control…actually rather worthless and might get folks killed.

However, a good gun in trained hands can be a joy to behold! Like the man said:

“…from our cold, dead hands!”
