Good for you! You will like it, it's one of the best 9mm out on the market. But in self defence, nothing matches a .45

Try 200 x .45 during a practice session on an IPSC course. At the time I was practicing 3 times a week, nearly bankrupted me, and I made my own ammo at the time. Ahh good times, I remember I could do an el presidente under 8 seconds...

They have IPSC in Belgium? I thought handguns were verboten in the EU.

Well, this was in the '80s, laws were pretty good those days, you could still buy hunting rifles OTC, and you only needed a permit to buy handguns or military weapons. You also had a lot of shootingclubs where you could practice.

IPSC however was rather uncommon, but I gained my first experience with instructors from a security company for whom I was the lawyer. Later I joined a bigger club that had actually several facilities where you could practice all day. Some of the instructors were also member of the police.

Laws have changed considerably since the 80's, due to the fact there have been some holdup's with deadly force. At the moment you can no longer purchase a (legal) weapon without a proper permit, which can only be received after taking several exams. IPSC is still available however (FYI: http://www.bpsa.be, click 'Pictures from EHC 2007').

nice piece of tupperware.  all I have right now in sidearms  is a ruger P94 in .40.  heavy as hell, ugly as hell, reliable as hell.  i bought it from a guy who needed the money more than i needed the gun, but it was a good deal.

Ummmmmmmmmm........

A Sig p226 is a steel frame / steel slide firearm. I don't really know how that qualifies for tupperware. That moniker's normally reserved for glocks and xD's.

Sig doesn't even make a plastic gun, do they?  Be nice if someone didn't jump the bandwagon.

You are most certainly forgiven.

The Sig pro series is plastic metal composite, as is the new p250. And as far as composites, its hard to find one that shoots as well stock as a Sig Pro.

And can I just say how excited I am for the p250? Someone has finally taken the idea of the composite to somewhere useful. One action, 3 grip sizes, 4 calibers, 3 frame sizes. 36 possible weapons from one action.

Wow.
