RE: looking for a pistol
I have a Ruger P89D in 9mm and it is a good inexpensive rugged gun for self defense and plinking. I buy 1000 rounds of wolf ammo for about $100 and when it is gone I buy another 1000 rounds. New they are only around $350 and I got mine used (looked new) for only $230. I like the decocker better than the safety model.
Sig is a very nice gun if you want to spend the money on them.
