So my question has a few parts. For those of you who own both an HK and a Glock (if any of you do) which one do you like better and why? I liked both pretty equally but for comfort and known reliability from good friends who own the Glock, I am leaning towards the Glock. Would you agree? Asuming I go with the Glock, do any owners have a reccomendation as to size (9mm, 10mm, .40, .45)? Being a redblooded American I'm inclined to go big. Any good reasons to go with one of the smaller calibers (for example I went with a .223 rifle because I preferred its ballistics and the price of ammo)? Assuming I go with a larger caliber would you reccomend I go with a full size pistol, or one of the compact variants? Sorry for all the questions; any help would be appreciated. *caough*brucelee, zumn, broken arrow, salty*caough*

personally I'm a glock lover, I have both a 9mm (model 26 compact) and a .40 cal (model 23 subcompact). if you want a gun for accuracy go for the full size 9mm, there is no better glock made. If you want nothing more than sheer knock down force, then go with the subcompact glock .45 BUT keep in mind the bigger caliber you go and the smaller the frame, the less accurate you will be...now thats not to say that you can't become a great shooter with it but it will take a lot more practice sessions.
