This forum is a great wealth of information. Thanks to KHornet for recommending it.
First, I'm a newbie to the forum and a research freak. I've read the first ten pages of this forum for all the applicable threads on gun selection and caliber preference. Opinions obviously vary somewhat, but for the most part I've concluded that most appear to be Sig fans. I've also read the manufacturer's websites. Frankly, neither were that helpful and I need some help to narrow down my choices.
I'd like to purchase either a 9mm or .40 caliber pistol. I've researched both the Sig and HK options. Thus far, I've looked at the HK P2000 9mm and the Sig Pro SP2009. Both fit well in my hand but I haven't shot either. The trigger on the HK was substantially lighter than the Sig.
I will be carrying the gun inside my waist belt frequently so a rugged finish and not large (not necessarily compact) size would be useful. Cost is not an issue; nor is the cost of ammo. Looks? Well, I guess they're somewhat important but not critical. Weight? I do not want a heavy gun. Caliber? I'm open to suggestions and recommendations. I'm leaning toward 9mm for size and weight purposes but am not convinced yet. Quality? Top notch and 110% reliable.
Specific model recommendations would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help.
