Also are you planning on making it a carry gun as well as a HD gun? If you are planning on carrying something a little smaller in physical size would be better.

What does HD stand for? I don't plan on getting a CCW as i won't need one. Don't plan on walking around town strapped only thing it will see outside of my house will be my car and the range.
