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!

Don't think that really matters to the guy staring down the barrell of a weapon. Oh, he says, I love how you bedazzaled your front sight and those pearl handgrips are to die for...
Plastic works over and over. Of course metal works as well, like my Springfield TRP, but as I have said before, guns are tools IMO. All about function. Love my G19 w an extended slide lock and mag release, but I suppose everyone has different tastes.
Not the prettiest, but it still works...
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?
I think Ballah06?s Springfield is beautiful.

It's a nice piece but it would be nicer without the rail.
Man jewelry? Really? Tell that to the guy who carried this through WW2.
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...

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.(a handgun was still something to carry to the chow hall-or to fight your way to a rifle).

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).
