[QUOTE="Lycus, post: 944773, member: 3988"] Yes, that is something else I was considering, moreso the price of ammo than its availability. I've had some offers for a Springfield XD 40 that's at $400, and I'm seriously considering that... but an S&W Sigma is a bit less, and the S&W K-Frame nearly seems to be a steal. I'll expand to say that in all likelihood I'll never have to use the gun for self-defense, and it will primarily be used for target practice (need hone my skills should I ever need to actually [i]use[/i] it, naturally), so cheap ammo = good. I'm even pondering getting a small .22 pistol just because the ammo is so cheap. Not a lot of stopping power, but something like a Walther P22 has proven to be lethal in a notable, tragic occasion, tho I don't know what those run. I'm a layman, I'm not law enforcement, but I'm the sort of guy who carries a Leatherman Wave + bit kit, and a mini-maglite on my belt at all times. I want to be best prepared for any obstacle that comes my way. Thanks to everyone here for your input so far, it's given me some things to consider. I've a nice paycheck coming-in soon, so I'll try to do some further research of my own and hopefully come to a sound decision. [/QUOTE]
