My EDC is 9mm. I tried a Glock 27 when I updated my armory about a year ago, but found I couldn't control it well. The instructor at a Defensive Pistol course saw what was happening and let me use his G19 for the rest of the day. The combination of larger grip/less recoil made all the difference in getting back on target for follow-up shots. I traded the 27 in for a 19 on my way home from the class (yay Cabelas' 14 day return policy!).

Lower cost of ammo and larger capacity are side benefits.
