Welcome aboard! You'll lose some sleep due to all the interesting
gun chat that goes on here.

Good luck on the hunt for your perfect pistol. Since you seem to be
shopping for something in the Sig price range, you will have a wide
choice of weapons.

Choice of caliber is an important issue. For self-defense purposes,
the minimum acceptable caliber varies upon who you talk to.

9mm's will give you more rounds than the same pistol chambered in .40
or .45. The ammo is less expensive too.

.40 is bigger than a 9mm but has less kick than a .45.

.45 is the "manly" round. You won't get as many rounds in the weapon,
but if you hit someone with one of these, the stopping power is immense.

Remember to carry an extra magazine, whatever fine piece you buy.
