Being a dyed in the wool .45 ACP shooter for over 3 decades now, I've been debating on a 9MM purchase for some time. Yesterday I went shopping, and after much discussion I was no closer to making up my mind then when I walked through the door. So I bought all 3.

I've never purchased 4 guns in one day before, (I also bought another AK-47), but with the political climate changing for the worse, and interest on annuity investments paying squat, I decided there were worse things in life to spend money on than quality, high capacity, semi auto firearms.

I really like the Sig P-226. It fits in your hand like your feet fit into fleece lined slippers. The SCT model of the P-226 ships with 4, 20 round factory Sig magazines. It has the Nitron finish, and Sig Night Sights as well. Both the Glock 17 and the 19 are standard daylight fixed sights. I was going to go with a 17 and a 26, but after handling the 19 the choice was obvious. The 19 fit my hands much better. Because I bought all 3 from a shop that I frequent quite often I got a smoking deal on all 3 of them.

As soon as I returned home I promptly ordered another 4 magazines for each gun from Midway, along with 4, 33 round 9MM Glock mags. Amazingly they had all of them in stock. Now all I need is some 9MM ammo. Every gun shop, as well as Cabela's and Sportsman's Warehouse is picked clean. Not a round to be had, with no telling when there will be. We've got a big Crossroads Gun Show coming next week, so I'll get up early and get in line with the rest of the cattle and try and pick up a few thousand rounds there. I doubt there will be any bargains, but at this point I just want ammo without wearing out a set of tires to find it. Hopefully then in a few weeks I'll be able to light these babies up!  Bill T.

I like that "just born" wetness on the SIG.

I wish I can give you pictures, but my wife don't no about it, just picture a vectory with a soumi drum 3 50 rnd clips, vector grip with flashlight attachment, I made a hole in the forend for to put in an extra clip scope see through mounts with iron sights, the basic heavy gun , I haven't got me a by pod yet but it shoots alot of pistol ammo, I'm going to see if I can have some gunsmith hook me up with a 50 barrel sleeve so I can turn a barrel notch for a c-clamp for the barrel nut and make a 50 GI cal uzi also, I cut down 4 uzi mags for towers (interchangable) on a soumi drum , All I do is change the towers, (2) nuts takes the tower off for changing, and the barrels, I steel lathed the rims down on the 40S&W shells to 9mm size so I don't have to change the bolt neither, in all but the 22 bolt, so in short, I'm using same bolt same mag, just change barrels (except 22), and I haven't had a problem yet, the 41AE is simple (40S&W) shell, rim turned to 9 shell holder once fired bras resized in 41mag die and 41 210grn bullet with Accuriant powder 6.1 min, charge fireforming, got over 1000ct, and they work well, anyways, my wife only no's about a 10th of the guns I have and got more on the way, stay cool from the bear

My favorite Glock is the 19. The Springfield XDm9 is fast becoming my favorite 9mm. I also have the M&P9 with night sights. It is pretty easy to run through a lot of 9mm ammo.

Sorry, when it comes to 9's, I'm old school, HK P7 PSP.  Bought one within a couple of months of their announcement and haven't turned loose yet.  Accurate, as compact as a Chief Special, disappears in a Jackass shoulder rig and utterly reliable.  What's not to like?

Keep checking at Wal Mart. You can never tell when WW White box 100 pack ammo will show up. Our local gun store had a stock of WW white box 50 rds.
