An asshole burglar broke into my home while I was at work today. He was going through my things in my office and in my bedroom. Rummaging through my closets and clothes and personal items. He wasn't here long before I rolled home. His footprints were left sprinting across the back yard and the back door was wide open when I went around the back of the house to get in. The Burglar had tripped the top interior lock to buy some extra time to run if somebody came home. I think the burglar cased my home, for how long I do not know. Prick could live in some of the apartments down the street. This neighborhood has gone to shit! The burglar picked my front locks while a two man road crew was working on street repairs right in front of my home. That crew was there when I left and when I returned four and half hours later. The police officers thought that perhaps they were involved. I suggested that they question them at the very least, since they were in front of the house the entire time I was gone. I had to make a police report because they got away with Sig. I'm so pissed off! I had Sig by my bed, ready to go if some asshole broke in during the night. Did I mention that this neighborhood has gone to shit! Although I carry Sig, I generally don't carry Sig to work with me. My boss isn't as comfy with firearms as I am, so I respect that. But, if Sig had been with me, Sig wouldn't have been taken. So, I'm sitting here kicking myself in the ass and fuming over it. I'll put in my claim with the homeowners insurance and get some funds for a new Sig, bit of cash stolen and some missing personal items. Gun show is coming up soon. But, I really LOVED THAT gun. #@#&%! All I have left are Sig's mags.......$#@^%*! I need to move........SOON!

Damn, that sucks. Sounds like you need a live-in aspiring novelist. :-) Look at it as an opportunity to buy a Ladysmith .357 like Paxton Quigley's. (Did I mention that I am in love with her?
Thanks OI. A novelist would be good since they are such homebodies. : ) I was just looking at the Sig P232. It's very close to my Sig that felt like a perfect extension for my hand. Runs a little over $700 with laser on board. Sig was just perfect for a carry firearm. Nothing to snag on anything, short barrel and NEVER misfired after hundreds and hundreds of rounds. Perfect weight. Always accurate. Truth be told, I'm feel a little naked with Sig around.
Show us the evidence (ducks quickly). Got it on the gun though. After stopping power the most important aspect is, do you feel comfortable with the weapon, and that definitely sounds like it was a yes. Having been ripped off a couple of times myself I've experienced it first hand, and the feeling of violation is maddening. I still miss that Nakamichi Turntable. I'd say change the locks but locks really only keep honest people honest unless you're home, chained up, and have the Scatter Gun handy.
Recently, I've had some friends telling me I need a 40 for stopping power....that Sig wasn't good enough. But, I always felt secure that a few hollow point rounds would do the trick with Sig. : )
My H&K USP Compact .40 S&W has a stout recoil (Blazer 165-gr bullets), I can't really see you enjoying practicing with something like that considering that you're more petite than I am. See if you can rent/borrow a compact .40 before you jump ship, stick with what works for you.
I figured that the 40 would have substantially more recoil and that the grip would be much bulkier. I held a lot of guns at a lot of gun shows before settling with Sig and it was love at first feel. : ) There is a local gun shop owner who offers a "smorgasbord" to try out his wares. I was planning on giving him a call to belly up even before this happened. Now, I'm less inclined to procrastinate. Plus, I'll have some funds from the insurance claim to cover my losses.
