I don't know why my post went all weird like that.

Wow, Thanks Ken!

Hey ThatGirl, here is an average review of the 2022. They do come with 3 different size grips. ( I don't think you get all 3, but if you have to send for one, there about 25.00) He mentions they're like E2 grips. And night sights, Some have them, some don't. Gotta get to work, hope this helps:

Thanks for posting the Sig Sauer SP2022 video, HJ, that was good introductory info and, it's hard to tell from the video, but the profile of the grip looks like it could work for me.  Since I'm just now familiarizing myself with the world of full- size pistols, I don't think I will be that bummed that all I can get is possibly a night sight, lazer grip and have to have a holster made special, but that might be naive thinking.  You may have just confounded my decision further, that seems like a fine gun!  In the next few weeks I'm gonna fondle all the pistols I can get my hands on in some local gun stores and make a decision come payday at the end of the month.

By the way HJ, great choice for your avatar.  Jeremiah Johnson is one of my favorite movies!  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

As an aside, in the SP2022 video HJ posted, the guy sounds like Cleveland from Family Guy- made me chuckle

One of my BIGGEST gripes about Sig and HK guns is the height of the slide and how far the sight are from the back of my hand.
This is also what contributes to some guns having more of a "flip". A greater slide mass moving whist cycling.

I can shoot both HK and Sig well...I just don't like them.

Good lookin' out, technique.  I can see that the height might be an issue.  I suppose instead of just fondling all of the aforementioned pistols, I should rent the one's that might work for me, or see which of my buddies have one's that I can shoot.  It just sucks to dish out range fees + rental fees + bullets + energy dealing with people.  I'd be a happy woman if I never went to a gun range again- New Mexico has plenty of good shooting berms on BLM land...

THANK YOU.... i cant stand the height of the slide on those things. Its like your resting a brick ontop of your hand. That alone makes me hate Sig's. Its like wtf do they have in that slide that other pistols dont that requires the barrel to be so dam high.

Concerned about height of slide? Maybe give a Caracal F (fullsize) or C (compact) a try for around $400. Seem to be getting more and more popular here in the States.

Thanks! It is my favorite movie. My second favorite is "The Mountain Men" with Charlton Heston and Brian Kieth. Excellent movie!

Just giving some options. I've had the chance to hold one, and it fits the hand really well. Wish I could've shot it.

Last night emphasized the need for me to get that new pistol.  TG went camping with the boys this weekend and my poor dog was on high alert trying to protect me all night, barking her head off at every little bang, clang and rustle from the wind blowing.  I ended up sleeping with the AR-15 next to me and my .38 revolver in my hand.  The .38 didn't seem like enough and the AR seemed like a little too much.  They made for some cold ass cuddling...

Nothing wrong with an AR for home defense. But that things going to possibly bring you to your knees if you shoot it indoors without ear protection. That shit hurts when its fired by your head WITH ears on.

thatGirl,

It's Al.  I have a gen 4 G23 with the various back straps if you want to borrow it to shoot and fondle?

Good looking out Ken.  I figure if the 5 in the .38 don't do the trick, going def is still better than the alternative as long as I can kept my shit together after the first shot...
