Call it a sickness, a disease. I don't think it's treatable. Yesterday I got the thought of adding a compact .40 S&W to my CCW collection. I posted a request for inputs on the Springfield XD-40 and I appreciate everybody's inputs. Last night at work I was thinking a compact 9mm wouldn't be a bad idea. Buffalo Bore Ammunition has some pretty stout loads these days including a 9mm 115gr JHP +P+ with muzzle energy in excess of 500 ft/lbs. I have shot that load through my SR-9 and the recoil was quite manageable.
After lunch today I went looking. I looked at compact 9mm and .40 S&W by Springfield, Taurus, Walther, Smith & Wesson. I settled on this 9mm Sig Sauer P250:
Call it an impulse buy. I figure if I die I have enough life insurance to cover it. My wife says it will cost me dearly but I have no idea what she wants.
I have never owned a Sig, but have heard many good things about them and very few bad. When I got home and went on their web site, I discovered this gun is "modular" and can be converted from 9mm to .357 Sig/.40 S&W/.45 ACP. I like the idea of turning this into a .40 S&W. I don't think the kits are available yet and have no idea what the price will be (I'll bet it ain't cheap). The feel is great and it is an extremely easy gun to take down.
