David,

Glad you relocated to the US. Welcome! Stick with the Sig Sauer P226 since you already are attracted to it. I have three Sigs, two in .45 and one in 9mm. All run perfectly every time they are fired. All have thousands of rounds through them with NO work having been done other than cleaning (at least occasionally.)

Take a handling skills & personal defense class if you are serious about such use. The IDPA is a good organization but you need training, not just the games and competition. I recommend going to Gunsite in Arizona. Serious people who know what they're doing. Run a Google search for "gunsite."

Glad to answer questions anytime (use freepmail.)

Regards, Todd

I like my Sig too. I have the P245, my husband has the big P220. Both have been very reliable and fairly accurate (not as accurate as my tuned up 1911A1, but that's not what they are.)

My only criticism is that the magazines are VERY stiff out of the box. I had to load and unload them many times before I could get that last round in there . . .
