The Sig Pro series is IMHO just about the best there is when it comes to polymer guns.   The recol is good, fit and finish are excellent. Its reliable and easy to field strip. Just make sure you grab plenty of ammo and extra mags(before the 08 elections!!). I shop(via the net) at MidwayUSA.com, or CDNN investments. Both stores have great prices, and a good supply on hand. As far as a CCW debate lets keep it to the 101 other threads concerning it.

You got a great gun with H&K man-again, my dream pistol. You just don't get any better, and certainly not more accurate. What I love about HK is that you get a competetion grade gun in a duty grade package-reliability and extreme accuracy.

Yeah, I plan on buying several mags for it, thanks for the site tips I'll check them out. I bought some cheap 9 dollar a box Wolf ammo for plinking, and some of the relatively expensive Hydra Shok's as defense rounds. 

I think I sort of see his point...I emphasize the sort of part...

Carrying a handgun is a valid right, IMO, with a proper license, but at the same time in a situation where you're on the street and someone makes an attempt on your life, odds are you won't have time or reflexes to use it. Defending yourself with a handgun does require a little bit of timing to work properly.

I really just want the gun to keep in my truck, namely because I travel alot. It's just good to have a little protection with you. However, with a law they passed last week (I'm way too lazy to look it up right now), in certain wording your vehicle is made an extension of your house. An officer was telling me that by that reasoning, technically you really don't have to have a CHL to carry a handgun in your car/truck, as long as you're of legal age to own it. I'm not going to take that chance, and besides as I said it helps me skip the background check when buying a gun.

Yes, because laws against handguns are always obeyed by criminals and anyone who wanted to carry one for nefarious purposes would most certainly decide not to do so once they realized that they couldn't do it legally.

The Department had some weak ass rules for why they couldn't use him, so he has a choice between Beretta and H&K.

Most of Texas uses the Sig P226 as their duty weapon. That's awesome if you're dad gets to carry an H&K-if I could have afforded it, that's one of favorite handguns. The cheapest USP's I could find ran anywhere from $800-$950, it was crazy.
