Soon to Purchase my First Firearm
Sigs are fantastic guns and would trust my life to one any day. They are extremely reliable, great to shoot, feel awesome in the hand, easy to use/clean, plenty of accessories, and then once you decide to start collecting, you got plenty of choices. =) If you like the feel of the P226, see if you can find an HK P30L. It is about the same price nowadays, and it is polymer frame, however..... it is an HK, much better ergonomics (with 3 sets of 3 different panels, back, and each side, instead of just one interchangeable backstrap. Recoil is very very light,and extremely reliable. Read up about the HK P30 torture test, one trainer has over 90,000 trouble free rounds, with an average of 7,000 rounds between cleanings. It is one of the only guns I kind of regret selling. The other alternative, is to look into CZ's. CZ 75, or CZ85 if you are lefty, or their clones in the EAA Witness series of guns. Much thinner overall profile, cheaper price point, smaller grip, and exceptional ergonomics. Did I mention Exception Ergonomics? CZ's are mid $500s, EAA Witness guns are sub $400 or so. AMAZING value of a gun. You do have good polymer striker fired guns, but don't drink the Kool Aide. A sig, an HK, a CZ, are above and beyond in the overall cache of firearms over "tactical tupperwear." (noted exception, HK P7 PSP.) WHAT?!?!!? Please qualify and substantiate your statements? 1. They are easier and quicker to clean. How? It takes me as long to rip apart a CZ/HK/Sig than an XD/Glock/M&P. Same thing for cleaning, especialy if you are talking a real detail strip, then a 1911 wins hands down. 2. They are reliable. Compared to what? Are you saying they are more reliable than hammer fired guns? Proof anywhere? I have seen at the ranges, at matches, and here, more failures at least as much failures with striker fired guns, than with hammer fired guns. Dead trigger, light primer strikes, etc. Can we recall how S&W messed up with their triggers in the initial generation of M&P's? Furthermore, find one striker fired gun that has as nice an overall trigger pull than a DA/SA gun, I will not even bring up a proper 1911 Single Action trigger. They are cheaper.... than what? A New M&P is mid $500's, a new Glock is mid $500's, a new Walther PPQ is mid $500's. a CZ is mid $500 and less, almost any EAA Witness/Tanfoglio, is less than $500, you can get many 1911's for less than $500, you can get plenty of awesome used Sigs, H&K USP's, for less than $500. You can get a fantastic polymer Sig SP2022/2009 for under $400. Just saying.

BA still around? Gun should be fairly easy to find, use the price request feature. Call BA, tell them that you need the gun within a few days, or you want your money back.

Guess the repair Bill! (Anastasia was rear ended)
First shop is the insurance company one, the second one is the one I picked.
-
Guess the repair Bill! (Anastasia was rear ended)
I did, the second shop said it is about right, might be a bit more once they pull the bumper off, however.... I think will just keep the cash/car and drive it. looking closer, no big cracks, just deep scratches.

Body shop estimate. Includes paint matching, they are repairing bumper.

3 gun in NJ??
Make a friend in PA to hold on to mags and stuff for you. There are divisions, at least in USPSA for ban states. Your buddy is breaking the law bringing stuff in, but lets leave it at that.

STI Trojan 9mm vs S&W 1911 Pro Series 9mm
Yes and yes on the smith questions. Gerri, the 9mm pro series has more custom work on it, the 45 less so.
-
STI Trojan 9mm vs S&W 1911 Pro Series 9mm
Trojan is a fine gun, it just does not have the fit and finish of the pro series, esp the pro series in 9. Then there is the looks, Trojan is blued, pro series is stainless. You can shoot mine if you want. never had an issue with the pro series.

Trunk lid or one of the rear quarter panels is not aligning properly. And this is all just the visible damage. who knows what is under it or once the car is on the lift.
