Ghostgirl ~ A regular 45 is a bit much for me, too. Can you get ahold of a competition pistol? My 38 super competition has absolutely NO kick.

Did they actually break in? More details! I'm intrigued. I'm sorry that happened to you as well. In high school our alarm went off one night and my sister went downstairs to wake my parents up while I hid in my bathroom with a baseball bat in hand. The Brinks people called and I begged them to send police to the house immediately and that I hadn't heard anyone of my family members making a motion to turn off the alarm. Finally after about 20 minutes my dad came upstairs and told us to stay put. He checked the downstairs first and then the upstairs with his shotgun ready to go. He went outside next where he met a police officer coming around the back. He also made us the lock the door behind him when he went out. Creepy experience. To this day my sister, who lives alone still goes downstairs to turn off her alarm without thinking twice. I tell her she's a fool for doing so and not getting her gun instead and having brinks send a police officer to check the house for her.
Thats a great idea for a 38, the kick on a 45 is just too much for me.
