I haven't had a hand gun or a desire to own one in many years. I used to have an S & W .38 six shooter but couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it. I also owned a .22 Ruger and was a dead eye with that one. After buying a cabin in northern MN and taking my dog for a walk in a state forest which is known to harbor a pack of wolves, I figured it was time to have something to protect my dog. Even without being accurate, at least the bang would probably scare away potential trouble. A local sporting goods store had the SD9VE on sale for 1 day for $299 so I jumped on it. While waiting for my permit to purchase, I tried a friend's friend's Glock 9mm and .40 S & W SD model and did surprisingly well with both of them. Once I got my gun, I took it out to a gravel pit and was quite pleased with my accuracy. I can get used to the trigger pull. Now, with all the shootings and stabbings going on in our country I figured I may as well sign up for a class so I can carry it on my person whenever I'm anywhere there are tons of people. I just think there should be more good citizens armed these days with all the nuts and terrorists amongst us.
