You didn't offend me at all. I was just curious.

I considered getting a .45 but I bought this pistol for home protection and I wanted it to be something my wife could also handle, but also something that was easy for me to conceal...if I ever get off my lazy butt and get my conceal and carry. It's the first pistol I've owned and price was also a factor. I got a very good deal on it from my friend at Third Generation Shooting Supply and that really made the biggest difference in my choice.

I'm going to be buying another one very soon so I will take your advice into consideration. Thanks.
