1. A Sig P365, a pistol that holds 10+1 and is the same size or smaller than pistols that hold 7 or 8 rounds at most, and comes from the factory with standard night sights, is not worth $500 as a tool to be carried every day for defense of yourself and loved ones.
2. But $600 for a Ruger GP100 in .22lr makes perfect sense.
A. What you have pointed out is that it is not the money. I have it to spend obviously, as you have pointed out.
B. It is a matter of choices of where to spend it, and you question my priorities and point out my inconsistencies, of which there are many and I have no problem with your voicing what others would probably agree with since I have so much fun in my ignorance and naivete.
C. I am not going to be at the same level as other gun aficionados after 10 months of getting back into it after nearly 30 yrs. of walking away from guns while others have been doing this for decades: my priorities are skewed, just like in my car club my driving a "garage queen" through the winter outraged many b/c of my priorities or lack thereof.
D. I have CC revolvers with only 5 shots of 38 special b/c I don't carry semi-autos for protection b/c I have trust issues: fine for a back-up, though.
E. If I thought I needed 10 rounds, there would be others making fun of me b/c I didn't have 15 rounds: such is the way of the world.
F. If I thought I needed 10 rounds I would have 1 revolver in my ankle holster and another in my DeSanti pocket holster (with flap for covering profile).
G. I am not in training to break up a bank robbery. Only once have I had my hand on my gun in my jacket, and that was downtown b/c a young man was following my wife and me after I refused him money and he was calling after me and following me, fortunately for my evening, we went into St. Elmos and he went on his way.
H. By the way, back in the late 80s when I was carrying, I used a two-shot 38 special derringer for a carry sometimes, or my little Beretta .25 tilt-up, or my S/W .22LR.
I. Oh, how I've grown: using a .380, or a .32. or a 9mm or a 38 special, but still a disappointment to so many.
J. Thanks for the feedback. Believe it or not I do listen and consider what I read here.
K. The Sig 928 or 365 neither were even on my radar since they were Sigs and I'm a Smith fan b/c of my limited experience.
L. I did have a Sig RS290 briefly but I don't even remember what I had that I preferred at the time (bought used at Hoosier Armory for $260ish).
M. Maybe I'll grow up someday and get a Sig. Then I'll get criticized by someone with a _________ (fill-in-the-blank) of the latests and greatest.
