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. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Young lady, you need to do what I had both of my daughters do, get the finishing training at Frontsight in case you are presented with a face to face showdown. Both daughters were much better shots with pistols, rifles, and shotgun than their bigger and much stronger and heavier brothers. They were such great students, that I bought them both top of the line pistols, rifles, and shotguns and a safe for safe keeping. Both have concealed carry, if they want to do so. I don't worry about my girls at all. I hope that they continue to have good judgement about their choice for their boyfriend/husband. My oldest has 3 beautiful daughters, the youngest has yet to marry.

and isn't it maddening that the thief got away with it?!?! i've never had my home burglarized, but i have had my automobiles burglarized. it pissed me off somethin' terrible too.
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. I've heard very great things about Frontsight. Sig was my CCW, but I went out today without taking Sig with me. Now, I am mercilessly kicking myself in the ass. To top it off, now I'm feeling Dad envy. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

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. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Yes, and I feel sick that he was going through my home/belongings. Can't seem to locate the video camera, so I think he took that too. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne

Major suckage!! I'm assuming that the coppers have your Sig's serial# so that they can check out the pawn shops when they make their rounds with their list of serial#'s?? Don't change calibers if what you've been shooting feels good for you. You can always pull the trigger more than once; in fact, it's recommended that you empty the magazine into a perp just to make sure that only your side of the story is reported :-o

But, I always felt secure that a few hollow point rounds would do the trick with Sig. : ) Kind of like Bond and his Walther PPK. ;-) Maybe you've seen it but I recall a cartoon of a squirrel with his head blown off and the caption read: "This is your brain on hollow points." Very enlightening. 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.

Very trim looking. I guess it's the Dirty Harry in my dreams but I still prefer a .357 Revolver or my beloved 1911 A1. I guarantee the stopping power of that .45 ACP - "Bet they can't eat just one." 
#13. To: X-15 (#10)
Yep, Sig's serial number goes into the database. They said the odds were good that I would get it back. But, that may take awhile. That gun felt better in my hand than any other. My girl friends who shot it loved it too and had gun envy after shooting it. : )

Cool. Yes, we all have our individual preferences and when it has that intangible feeling of rightness well, then its right.
#16. To: abraxas (#7) (Edited)
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.
-Alex Kurtagic
#17. To: X-15 (#16)
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.

All neighborhoods have gone to shit. The only "safe" ones these days are the dirt poor ones. It is the economy and it is only going to get worse.
God is always good!
#19. To: RickyJ (#18)
Sad but true.... My neighborhood is on the poor side, but it used to be a lot better. In the past eight months there was a murder down the street, bullet holes in the neighbor's car, an old man had an attempted robbery a few blocks away and shot two of the three burglars and then held one at gun point, the park across the street has gang tags all over it, people are sleeping in the park regularly, gun shots are heard often, cops are on the street at least once a week now, sometimes more. Sigh. It is the economy and it is only going to get worse.

so sorry to hear this. I hope the girls continue to feel safe. we've never had anyone break in but we have had vehicles stolen. Oddly enough we got them both back.

You may be missing more than you think. As time goes on you may end up missing even more stuff... Can't seem to locate the video camera, so I think he took that too.

Really sorry to hear of your unfortunate loss. We've been pretty lucky in this neighborhood, but I am in the process of secreting valuables where they will be very hard to find & getting serial numbers down on everything that has one. I haven't gone around the house to photograph rooms since the last hurricane, but I think it's time to do that again.

That sucks. Have a co-worker got broken into recently, first time in 43 years. He's getting an alarm system.
If your neighborhood is so bad, you can shack up with me while you look for another. ;)

This sucks A. There's no question I'd move, especially now that "they" know a new burglary at your place might yield a new gun. I've been thru the "changing neighborhood scenario" and the only rational thing to do is flee to safety.

Thanks FF. Luckily, the girls were not with me when this happened.

You gotta know it's time to go when the cops won't stay the whole week in Dunkin Donuts (what time they aren't practicing their percussion instruments on someone's head). cops are on the street at least once a week now, sometimes more.

consider inexpensive cameras, which can be set for motion detection and accessed thru your cellphone....some of the spy type ones are so small no one will ever see them....plus, you can blackmail all your drunken guests, relatives and lodgers...lol.... big dogs are also hurdles which most thieves will avoid for easier targets.
