So after months of shopping and test firing I finally bit the bullet so to speak and purchased my first handgun. Originally I had been leaning toward purchasing a SA 1911 Mil-spec, however upon reflection I think I was more enamored with the styling and appearance of the 1911 rather then actual practicality. After about a month of just trying to track down one of these 1911s I finally found one and test fired it. Despite a limited knowledge of the weapon at the time I still found it didn't particularly feel right.
I test fired a number of other guns, and it seems like a lot of the ergonomics on a lot of common guns seem to be marketed toward folks with small hands, every gun shop owner seems to be a portly small person that swears by a weapon with a smaller grip. I was feeling a bit lost and was thinking of settling for something that did not quite fit right. That was until I tried the Sig P226, the gorgeous machine fits even my bearlike paws quite well. The thing shoots like a dream and even a noob like myself seems to put together decent groups at 15 and 25 yards.
Anyway love the site, been trollin around reading info for a while now, just happy I could join having just made my first handgun purchase.
