When I was shopping for my most recent handgun I had a few criteria:
Polymer frame
High mag capacity
Unlimited (chock-a-tire) blockiness (bwaahaahaa)
Ability to withstand uber-ridiculous torture tests (no partiality given to the German adjective qualifier

)
I narrowed it down to the Glock and XD. Grip angle and MY natural point of aim swayed me. I was pushed further over the edge by the sight of the XD in bitone.
I do not add the final item to imply that it should be a consideration in a carry gun (heck, half of them probably shouldn't), only to lend support to the "sexier" claim

But what else really puts a "spell" on people? Fanatic adoration is what spells are all about. Different spells for different people.
You see me not hatin'
