Wow, this has turned into a gun party. Don’t care about style so much on a handguns but I’ll stare at a pretty over and under or side by side all day long.

Single stacks...pretty much just man jewelry!
Definitely not a big fan of the single stack and 7 rds in the mag, hence why this is not a carry gun.

Man jewelry? Really? Tell that to the guy who carried this through WW2.
I'm sorry you have no soul. Is your living room decked out in lawn furniture? I mean it's ugly, but it works right?

No lawn furniture here, but i also dont worry about how 'pretty' my tools look. Not saying i cannot appreciate a well-made firearm but I just dont care about looks as I do about practicality. To each is their own. Some have fine collections of various things and talk about it non stop... That reminds me, I need to go put some gold flakes on my sledge hammer and then put an EO Tech on it so I am spot on splitting logs...
To be clear, I'm mostly joking-I had a Springfield 1911. I gave it to my ex wife, as she preferred the single stack.
As far as carrying something in WWII; it does have a wonderful history-but handguns have advanced significantly since then. (and even in WWII, a handgun was still something to carry to the chow hall-or to fight your way to a rifle).
I laughed at the "man-bling" joke. It was funny and true (somewhat).
I don't carry for a living (and only really in the woods when I do), so I don't need a 16 rnd mag, lights and lasers. A single stack is more than I need (and a second mag). If I ever need more than that, well, I've got bigger issues going on.
So, for me...might as well have something that is reliable AND purty. That whole quality over quantity thing...
I like my 1911, but it's honestly just a big frame to carry concealed. While the S&W Shield is quite smaller, esp. the handgrip, it doesn't print at all in the appendix carry while wearing a tshirt. Even the G19 shows a bit unless you have smth good covering it.
Truth, when a guy gets walked out in bracelets after taking two .40 Gold Dots to the chest or with a 9mm a little too high on the forehead folks become true believers in using rifles.
Today's 9mm+P is almost as good as .40 so I fail to see the logic of bigger bore when you should be reaching for a long gun. For the ones who think a single stack is enough, take a gander at gunfight stats and see how many rounds are fired before hitting the perp (if at all).
That dude looks like a reason to press the gas till the magazine runs out!
Since Eastern black bear, raccoons, etc. tend not to shoot back, I think I'm ok with 15 rounds
