Suarez personally uses GLOCKs in .40 SW. He has recommended carrying the heaviest bullet for your specific weapon that you can get as a guiding principle. He recommends the best combination of caliber, capacity, and concealment that you can get.
I personally prefer the Glock 19 since you get the most shots out of it.
During the Force on Force Airsoft drills, your gun WILL run dry. It makes you reconsider carrying just a five shot snubby or a 7 round 1911.
In terms of airsoft pistols, a lot of the students had GLOCK airsofts which mirrors what a lot of people are using these days. There was a SiG and an HK along with a few 1911 airsofts thrown in. Some folks had trouble with the whole sequence of running off the line of attack, flipping the safety off and then shooting. I think that was half a training issue and half an equipment issue.
He is not a fan of Marshall and Sanow's work due to concerns about its scientific validity.
He is not dogmatic about what caliber you carry (So you will not hear stuff like "They all fall to .45 hardball!" or something like that.)
The entire course was airsoft-based, which allowed us to do things that would get us thrown off a live shooting range!
