Deciding which handgun to purchase can be quite the process, especially if that firearm is going to be used for defense or competition. The handgun itself is usually not a cheap investment and if you are like me, new sights a light, and possibly some other upgrades are usually not too far behind. By the time you get those things accomplished and spend the time training to being able to run that firearm adequately the amount of hours it has spent on your person or in your hand practically makes it part of the family. And the same goes for a holster.
