Firearm choices

I was hoping to give a look at more firearms like this http://balloongoesup.blogspot.com/2011/12/which-polymer-9mm-is-best.html

If you have any interest of comments let me know what you look for, besides the name on the frame or the caliber.

Some of the color coding in the chart seems to be contradictory...or I'm not reading it correctly.

For instance.  In the Length column, the longest are red...8.00 and over.  7.** are orange and under 7.00 is green while 6.00 and under is yellow (to short for accuracy?).  This seems to indicate Red is the least desirable value.

But then in the Capacity column, it appears that the higher the capacity, the better the value.  I see 15+1 and higher as Green, 7+1 to 13+1 as Orange, EXCEPT 10+1 is Red.  Seems 10+1 is better than 7+1...but maybe they are Red just because they are the vile Ban Compliant 10 round mags?

What you are seeing for 8" plus length is that for CCW too long is bad and the rest are different rules for single stacks (SS)

Ahh...I see...the ranking is explained below.  Didn't notice.

Don't agree with SS given a break in this, but then others might not agree that no manual safety is a plus.

I did it because I see the small single stacks as having a slightly different mission.  They also got dinged for having a slide that was too long and a grip that was too short though.
