Hey Bex...where in NY are you from? Curious? Im from Long Island area but worked Queens for many years. Glad to have you aboard. Since your into handguns.....maybe you can recommend a small lightweight pistol that carries a nice punch. Im not a gun expert and not up on the latest and greatest. Maybe you can help. The H&K USP Compact 40S&W you've grown fond of seems like a nice compact piece. Botz
