It looks as though your questions have been well covered. I mainly just had to say thanks for the Monty Python reference to "tracts of land".
I will say this about gun selection. Until you get something in your hand, you won't know for sure if you like it or hate it. I wanted an H&K USP for a while and the first time I held one in my hand I thought, nope, not going to happen. I hated Glocks until I fired one. Still never thought I'd buy one. Now years later, the simplicity and reliability, along with the price have made me purchase one over a Sig. I can say they are easy for me to disassemble but, I can see how some would think the opposite as it does take a bit of effort from your fingers to work the slide lock during take down. Once you get used to it, it's no big deal and if you've seen the famous torture test, you may not feel like you have to worry about cleaning much anyway. But that's just my opinion.
I too originally wanted a shoulder holster but, anywhere around the waist proved much more practical.
Once you do get a firearm, try out different carry methods to decide what is best for you.
