Thanks for the reply. Actually I do hav a Sigma 40VE that has been really good. I was thumbing through the latest CDNN catalog and found they have both Steyr MA-1's and S&W 99's for good prices. I figure to upgrade, sell my Sigma, go with one of the two mentioned. As for extra ammo costs, I have four or five hundred factory JHP's stashed, plus I reload my practice loads. As for 9mm's, I'll stick with the Browning HP. Again, thanks!!!
