Not necessarily a "panic buy" but I did purchase a SigM400 using the SIG Individual Officer Program. I'm moving to Mississippi in the Summer of 2013, so I was waiting to purchase one until I moved, but I figured now is as good a time as any... just in case. Now, the waiting begins. They said...
:yesway: Bravo!! As a college graduate, who enlisted after graduation, then went to Officer Candidate School, I could say from experience that everyone should be aware of the opporunities that the military has to offer (and the great service that they have to offer to the military) for college...
Spartan, you just made me crave a greasy beef from Al's. I think I'll have to make a visit for lunch. It is, by far (IMO), the best beef sammich in NWI.

It was a much welcomed switch, that's for sure. I was not a fan of the M9. It was a workhorse, and we were constantly having mag problems. I was happy to go to the Sig. I didn't really care of the single action/double action.
Thanks guys.
Caddy got it right, Coast Guard. The CG switched all handguns in 2006 from the Beretta M9 to the Sig.
Thanks for the info ROLEX. I checked out Bass Pro Shop in Portage a while back, but wasn't really happy with the knowledge of the sales staff, or the attitudes. I'll check out...
Hey everyone,
A little backgound on me... I just got out of the military. My service sidearm was a Sig P229 .40S&W. I got very comfortable with this handgun, but that was probably because I was at the range shooting it often. As a female, with smaller hands, I always felt the grip was a...
Hello everyone,
I've been "lurking" around for a while and just gathering information. I finally decided to join this great and very helpful forum.
I just got out of the military and moved to Indiana from California and am looking to purchase a handgun for home defense. I'm not sure if I...
