Indeed. My first SA was an M1A - have had it for years, a beautiful piece. I remember years ago SA was under a lot of scrutiny for their "political stance" that they took on an issue or two. They changed that "stance" quickly.... My very first 1911 was a Colt - had it in Viet Nam. That particular pistol now resides on the wall of my study in a place of honor. I haven't actually fired her in well over 10 years. However, she saved my life on more than one occasion. Please don't ask how I was able to keep her after I returned to "the world". Back then - funny things just "happened"..... I will, however, state this: my first love is the 1911 - but I am still a Sig man. Sig Sauer and Springfield Armory guy. That having been said, I understand that SA is having something of a problem with their Hellcat (trigger)...so no company is without "fault"..

I bought my Wife (some years ago) a PPK - she's damned good with it. Highly reliable piece. About 3 years ago (old assed memory ) I bought her a Bersa Thunder. She loves it as well. That damned pistol NEVER has a problem - no FTF, No hangups of any kind. The point to all of this is that you might was to consider a lower priced PPK clone or, hell, even go with a SCCY. My Son carries one (and has for the last 5 or so years) and he absolutely swears by them. Just a thought....

Went to the range last weekend. Took the wife and she shot "our" Walther P99. Easy gun for her to shoot with accuracy. I have a Glock 29 (10mm) that is my carry most of the time. She did not like shooting that one.
