For EDC I would rather carry a $400 Glock that I know will be reliable when I need it vice carrying a $1300 kimber or other shiny expensive pistol. You have to figure if you need to use it in self defense the first thing that’s going to happen is the cops are seizing your firearm as evidence. Chances are depending on which state you are in is that you will never see that pistol again regardless of it being a justified self defense shooting. Glocks are light weight, reliable, simple to operate, maintain and relatively inexpensive. I’ll take one to strap to my side any day
