Well I know of a range that has one for rent.
Smart idea because to shoot is to want in this case.
They sell bushels of them.

Cool guns, looked hard at them at the gun shop.  Could not put it down.   But then, just could not justify buying it when I already had the best you can buy - R9.    I knew I would never carry that Sig.    
I felt like I would be wasting my $.

I was looking at it from a practical/carrying side, not a "lets buy another gun" side.

Reinz,
   My sentiments exactly, looks nice feels good but why spend the money for a 380 that size and weight.

Have to agree, Reinz and John, but that Sig does look good.

Being an "addict", I'm sure I will be found at a weak moment with money in my pocket and one of those cool little guns on a table or under glass and an exchange will take place.  ;D

I'll probably be in the same boat, although don't own a Sig at the moment.

From what I have been reading, you seem to be in "Glock" mode right now.

Sooner or later you will get yourself a Sig, but don't do because of any hype, you will be disappointed.

Well, I only have the one Glock and do like it, for sure.  The thing just spits out those .357 sigs as fast as you can pull the trigger without ever a hiccup.  Hard not to like something that reliable.

The words Glock and reliable are truely synonymous.

Well since you corrected me, it seem from your posts that you have intentions of aquiring more Glocks.  Right?

Don't know where I corrected you  ;D  but probably will and don't know which one.  I like power and may still think about the 10mm.

 My Wife carries a P-238 Rainbow Titanium . She loves that gun. She is a big fan of 1911 style pistols. Next one she wants is a Kimber Raptor Ultra in Stainless.

Chief:

I must somehow keep my wife from seeing that photograph. It is one beautiful piece of pistolcraft!

Actually I have, plus my 1911 collection is growing. It seems Ed Brown is not very hungry and their customer service reflected that , so I canceled my order with them and went to Nighthawk, and bought a Predator and a Talon II Bobtail.
 The Talon II is back at Nighthawk right now having some upgrades done.  Since it is a lightweight frame (Aluminum) I am having it converted to a Rampless Barrel and a Ramp on the Frame, giving me the ability to feed more types of 45ACP to it. Also going to a Carbon Steel Barrel, giving me a much smoother and harder barrel than Stainless.  I am looking for a Nighthawk T3 now.
