Rob is there a reason u are not using the Glock?
Because the 1911 is the best defensive pistol ever made? No, not that....

Actually, if you look back over the body of video work that I've done over the past decade, primarily since 2005, you'll see a huge variety of firearms. I do preach efficiency and simplicity in gun choice and until the XD and M&P came along, that pretty much meant Glocks when it came to reliable defensive semi-auto choices. So after a decade of primarily recommending those guns for defense, I tend to get labelled as a "Glock Guy".
That said, I have always tried to demonstrate techniques with as many different guns as possible. If you look at TBD and TBD:S over the last year, you'll see me with Glocks, Rugers, revolvers, an FN and even a 1911

... probably other types that I'm forgetting as well.
The trick from a TBD standpoint is to get the audience to understand that the principles and concepts are what are most important, not the gear or time that it takes
me to get a hit on target. The audience has a huge variety of guns, it would be irresponsible for me to only show techniques and concepts with one type.
You'll see me with a Glock before the season is out... maybe even next week!
