Over the weekend I went gun shopping. My intent was to go to Indy and pick up a Ruger LC9 and or a Ruger SR9C. I thought my mind was made up on one or both of these guns. I had already held both guns previously and liked them.
On the way to Indy I stopped at our local gun show. One of the dealers, who we purchased my son's Yugo SKS from a few months ago, had a really nice Sig. It was a two tone 1911 ultra compact 45 ACP. I had never given much thought to buying a Sig. Nor had I actually handled many of them.
I talked to the dealer a little and he told me his lowest price. I liked the gun but wasn't planning on spending that much on one gun. Besides it was a 45 ACP, I have no experience with them. I searched the internet on my phone but still couldn't make up my mind on the gun. I told the dealer I might check back on Sunday if I didn't find anything in Indy.
Unfortunately after holding a Sig 1911, there wasn't anything else that compared to it at the gun stores I went to. I held both the LC9 and the SR9C but they no longer whispered to me take them home. I had been looking forward to bringing one or both of them home all week, but found the magic to be missing when I finally had the opportunity to buy them. I looked in all the cases to see if there was anything as nice as the Sig. I found nothing else that talked to me the way the little 1911 had.
I knew what I had to do. I came home from Indy empty handed. Sunday after I got my chores done, I headed back to the gun show to see if the little 1911 was still there. The dealer was smoking outside near the door. He asked me if I was there to buy his gun. I told him I would stop by. I looked around a little before I did. I talked to him a little and he cut the plastic tab off the gun so I could rack the slide. I still couldn't make up my mind. I told him I was going to look around some more and would probably stop back by.
I looked around at all the other tables. I couldn't find any other small compact guns that compared to the little Sig. So I went back to his table and held the gun again and talked to him some more. While holding it, I finally accepted that the little 1911 was meant to come home with me. He offered it to me at a lower price than quoted earlier. I countered and he accepted. So I bought the Sig. I picked up a couple boxes of ammo and a holster for it and headed home.
Today I was able to take it to the range. I was very impressed with the gun. I have never shot a 45 ACP or a Sig before. I am very pleased with how well it shot. I'm still working on my accuracy when I shoot. I am usually happy just to hit anywhere on the paper target. Six of the first seven shots I fired hit the paper. I was very pleased with the performance of this gun. I know buying this gun was definitely a good decision.
