For Carry, Which Hi-Cap choice & Why?

Originally posted by Spotteddog:
I intend, should things go horribly wrong the first Tuesday in November, purchasing as high a capacity auto as is available. I'd like a 3 1/2"-4 1/4" or so barrel length, DAO action (no thumb safety), night sights if available, a rounded butt profile. Since I've never owned a 9 M.M. (only .45ACP in auto-loaders) it seems the easiest route to hi-cap. Have fired a few in .40S&W and have no prejudice against them either. The .45ACP has the most difficulty at getting to a 12 + number, so I'm not wedding myself to the load. In a perfect world, it would be a "melted" exterior. I just can't justify the size and weight on a 1911' any longer, for it's on board round count. And my Officer size has a 2 round less capacity.
Opinions of you Auto folks, if you please!
THANKS!

M&P full size in .40 seems like the right choice. Easier to carry concealed because the slide is not a square profile as are others. Back it up with a 642. Get a couple of nice 22s, like the 617, the Ruger standard auto or 22/45 and you are good to go. Don't forget your .308 general purpose rifle (like a Ruger Frontier, Steyr Scout or similar), and don't forget a nice fowling piece like the Remington 870. Lay in lots of spare mags and plenty of spare parts, or better yet, duplicate guns in case one goes wrong. Nothing ever wrong with keeping a 1911 around either.
