So if your only pistol was the m18 and you were a civilian, what would you replace it with?

If you like striker guns, there are plenty on the market. Glock is certainly the old reliable choice, although there are plenty of like M&P's offerings.

If you're open to other mechanisms, that really opens things up. It depends on if it's meant to be a carried gun or some other criteria which would help narrow it down. For a carry gun I lean towards something smaller even if it sacrifices the best comfort when shooting. I'd rather something easier to actually carry. For that I like the LCPMAX. It's double action only, which gives it the same simplicity and consistency as a striker. Even though it's DAO, the trigger pull is actually pretty similar to a Glock's weight. It is in .380 though, so if you want to keep all your current 9mm you can go for the slightly larger LC9.
