amc, what made you veer off course from your original thinking ? "I went to a local gun shop today and while fondling a sig 1911".

There are many 1911's that carry and conceal extremely well.

I have a Gen4 19, which I alternate with a Kimber Ultra Raptor 3" 1911. Both carry well, and both have functioned perfectly from day one.

If not a 1911, the G23 or the 36 are other fine choices.

Personal perception, I feel. I used to think that way...before I actually shot one. Felt recoil is not all that much different than my G23s.

Totally disagree. I've shot them a number of times, actually once or twice every year for the past 10. The 27 is painful to shoot more than a couple mags through and I'm not alone on this. If it works for you great.

Bought one more on Tuesday, happy birthday present to myself. Picked up a new Gen-4 31, fullsize .357Sig. The truly sad part is, it really isn't what I wanted. I was hoping to either get a Gen-4 23, 19, or 32 but they didn't have any of those. They had a Gen-3 23C that tempted me, but I've been wanting a Gen-4 and the 31 was the only Gen-4 they had in stock. It was my birthday, a 90 mile round trip to the store, and I damn well wasn't planning on going home empty handed!

In addition to the new 31, I currently have a 21SF, a 34, and a 23 that are all Gen-3 models. I have had in the past a 30SF, a 33, and two 19's. I may sell my 23 and will probably sell the new 31 down the road. What I really think I want is two consecutive S/N mid size ones. Just haven't decided whether they will be 19, 23, or 32's. Oh, and maybe a 26 too. I also kinda like the 36, but I decided I didn't need a compact .45 which is why I sold the 30SF. Then again, the 36 is single stack and since they won't make a single stack 9mm, it may be the next best thing.

I don't know, maybe I should just seek professional help instead...

Lol, as I was reading your second paragraph, I had two thoughts.

1) This is a sickness.
2) I know this because I have this sickness.

I'm now sort of on the hunt for my third Glock, and in less than two months. They're all meant to cover different bases, I swear!

Enjoy that new 31, Boss.

The first time I fired my husband's Glock, a Glock 22, it had a horrible trigger-slap. Stung my trigger finger every time! Then, the plastic recoil spring guide broke. He bought a metal spring guide. Ended up getting rid of the Glock 22. I still like the Sigs more than the Glocks. A friend is lending us a Glock 17, 2nd Gen. Will try that next. Maybe that could overcome my hesitation with Glocks.

Or I couldn't anyway. I just bought a brand new G19 Gen4 with Ameriglo sights. Can't wait to take it out to the range and try it out. It really fits my hand nice too. Should be a ton of fun.
