I'm debating 9mm or 45 ACP...same as project tho, first gun, haven't really fired many. I guess I need to hit the practice range first...

The sigs are really nice however, I would get the p250 in 45.
I daily carry my Dan Wesson "Valor" 1911.
Out of the box the first grouping I did was at 25 yds and I did a 1" grouping and bout sh1t myself!!! most accurate 45 I have ever owned! This is my workhorse gun and my pride and joy! Sigs are very accurate too. If you want something crazy get a .22mag for close quarters they have just as much knock down as a 45!!! its insane! an Army buddy of mine usses it for his concealed weapon he was telling me it penatrated every soft armor vest on the market went through the ply wood dummy and ended up half way through most vests on the back side...
there is alot of advocates for one brand or another. What it comes down to is you going to the range and seeing if they have one in a rental... then shoot it and see how it fits in your hand. 9mm is great and all but when it comes to self defense I will take .45 over everything besides a desert eagle .50ae. That thing is retarded! If you dont hit the person they will be deaf after the first shot! If you ever run out of ammo you now have a freaking pistol for a baseball bat. The thing weighs like 2+lbs and your hand drops to the floor the first time you pick it up lol
