Glock 19 and Glock 43 here. love them both for the most part. the 43 needed a little more breaking in than the 19 but it's a solid handgun. I shot a friend's Ruger LC9 and it was awful... and I'm a huge Ruger fan. I'm hoping the SR9 is much better.

For the woods and home defense, I highly recommend a Glock compact (G19, 23, 38, 32) because of the mag capacity and almost a perfect size in my opinion (your preferences may vary). It's a good all around gun for me. I hope this helps.
