Recently purchased a Sig P-229 .40 cal, slightly used. Only shot it twice, but it is REALLY nice. Also have a Bersa .380 and a .22.

 

You should try the 250, it's gorgeous.

I was looking at a Sig 2022, but it just didn't feel right when I had it in my hand, seemed a bit small. Looked at the 250 and several others, all were around $1200. The one I got was a used police issue gun. Got it for $450, which is the main reason I got it. Love the Sigs, will have to save up a while to get another one.

Sure, its a very good gun, our Spezialeinsatzkommandos (SEK, a.k.a. German version of SWAT) use it as well. And at that price, pretty much perfect.

I own quite a few Firearms...Ammo here in MD is quite scarce, and we have people buying it up and trying to gouge and resell.

MD just passed a new law banning the sale of most "assault style" rifles, limiting clips/magazines to 10 rounds, and requiring a license to buy a handgun and have to go through a training course unless you owned a pistol prior to the new law. 

 

Needless to say, I recently bought an AR-15 before you couldn't buy them anymore in MD, and pistols that have larger clips

 

Recently bought a Steyr .40 S&W pistol...so far loving it...has trapezoidal (triangular) sights.  Tell you what...after firing a few times, it's definitely the easiest gun I've owned to point and lined up the quickest on a target.  It's what's currently is in my drawer safe by my bed for protection

Ammo is getting easier to find here. Only thing still a bit scarce is .22, especially CCI mini mags. Bought some .40 at Academy sports for $18 for 50 rounds and some .380 at a local gun shop for about the same price.

Being in the Army ive had the luxury to fire German, Swiss and Korean firearms. Favorite would have to be a SAW due to its heavy fire power and ease to take apart and clean weakly or a spec ops loaded 50. Cal sniper rifle. Nothing like going to the range and hitting targets at 450 yards or more. If you ever get the chance to legally lob a grenade don't pass.

I was in the Army for 6 years....1986-1991. I preferred the M-60 machine gun, but they do not use it any more.

I am also in Oregon.  A bit of an enthusiast.

 

My choice for home defense/concealed carry is my XDS.  Small and packs a punch.

A friend of mine has one of those, very nice.
