To Mike from Texas
You stated, roughly, "Didn't you like your XD?" Read neilp's opening post.
The ex wife sold it out from under him while he was out of town.

Neilp:
It's great that you are going down the CHL road. I'm surprised that you
question the quality of your Sig Mosquito. My impression of Sig's is that
they are expensive because they are high quality.

Yes, your Sig looks like a significant handgun, but the .22 caliber is way
too small for a carry pistol.

You need to move way up the size ladder for your carry gun. My carry gun
is a 9MM Taurus Millenium, which is fine since it's my "starter gun". But in
roughly the same size mid-frame package, Taurus offers the PT-140, a .40
caliber semi-auto, the PT-145 (10+1 capacity .45) and the PT-745 (6+1 capacity
.45 with a slimmer grip than the PT-145.) Any of those 3 will give you the
stopping power you may need since their rounds start with the critical number '4'.

I've put several hundred rounds through my PT-111 without any problems. It goes
bang every time. The Milleniums are larger than some pocket pistols but not as
large as a big boy 1911. I use pocket carry most of the time. I have a soft Uncle
Mike's pocket holster and carry in my right front pocket. It will also fit in the pocket
of cargo shorts.

That said, I consider my Taurus kind of like a dependable Ford. It's not the most
expensive gun, but it gets the job done.

If I had my 'druthers, I'd like to own a fancy Kimber 1911 maybe, but I likely won't
have one of those any sooner than I'll have a BMW M3!!!
