Similar thinking from me----my carry guns are a G17 in winter, a G19 in summer, and a G26 if I have to have something even smaller than a 19 for concealment purposes. 

They all feel the same, shoot the same, and if/when I carry a spare mag, I use a G17 full-capacity mag which works in all of them.

I note my competition G17 IS my carry gun.  Trigger group uses stock glock parts, and the only things on it that aren't Glock factory are the sights and the recoil spring.  (Finally changed that out to a 13-pound spring.) 

I also note that the Beretta PX4 is a perfectly good gun---but NOT for me. :)

A prosecutor or plaintiff's attorney can use against you your choice of weapon, training and regular practice. If your own attorney is competent, the counter argument is that whatever makes you more effective in defending yourself reduces the risk of stray shots to innocent bystanders and reduces the amount of injury required to stop your assailant.
