    My hands are normal sized. But I'm skinny as all hell (5'9" or 5'10", 130 lbs. average) so my wrists are tiny.

    I was doing fine with the 9mm until I tried the .22. Then I was having issues with the 9mm. So I think I'll stick to the 9mm until I get good enough at it where firing off a few hundred rounds of .22 won't be an issue.

    It sure was nice paying $13 for 100 rounds though... and they had a 550 round brick for $23.

    This.

    I've also been shooting 1911's longer than O2C has been alive. It's not a gun for novices.

    I love my sig. I should shoot more, but I can hit a pop can at >50 feet. :shrug: if I can do that 30-50% of the time I figure all the others are close enough to that area to do what I need. :bergman:

    I like Flo's Baby eagle, and my 38 is ok. It's rating has gone way down since I started shooting my sig. The sig is just so smooth.

    However I do like to pull out my 44 every now again. Not often as it's hard to hit with it. :lol:

    Wear an oilskin duster. Then you can carry a Mossberg 590 Military concealed*. I don't know if you can leave the bayonet fixed, and you certainly can't sit down or bend over, but these are the sacrifices you make to be able to dump 9 rounds on 00 buck into someone in short order.




    *There are these leg snaps so if you're on a horse you can snap the oilskin in place. You hook one of those between the barrel and the magazine and you tuck the butt into your armpit.

    And here I thought she said she loved her sig: ""Have a good 'un"

    Sniper--"A man whose psyche is strong and so fundamentally rooted in a personal philosophy or religion that he doesn't suffer unduly from taking human life under appropriate conditions"--Eric Haney Inside Delta Force"

    ;)

    (yes I knew what she meant by SIG)
