I think the P99 DA/SA was the reason I went with it. I love the ability to have it cocked and the trigger forward. That's what sold me on it.
I was involved with six teenagers who mistook me for my brothers baby-sitters new boyfriend! She was a freshmen in high school who had recently broke up with her senior boyfriend. She started to date a freshmen boy. This seamed to piss off the old boyfriend. After my brother and his wife and my girlfriend and I came back from a night out he asked me to take her home on my way home. I was driving her down her road (dead end) and pulled in to her short drive way, it was at the end of the dead end road. A car stopped across the top and 5 young men got out and started to run at my car with bats. Here is were Murphy's law breaks in. I had just sent out my carry gun for new combat sights! I was carrying an old revolver I had bought a few years before. Well, I stood 15 feet from the first kid.
Two kids ran into the woods. I had three at gun point and the one took off in the car. What felt like it took hours took roughly a minute. From the time I was grabbing her backpack from the back of my car to the point I had them on the ground and yelling for the baby-sitter to call the cops was no longer then a minute! The adrenaline was pumping and my hart was racing a mile a minute. My hands were sweating and I had a death grip on my pistol.
After the incident took place I went over what happened in my mind and how I should have act differently. I wrote down in detail everything that happened. I spoke with a few professionals and some agreed I did almost everything right. Nobody was shot and the incident was resolved. I also rethought my entire out look on my handgun decision. I soon realized it's confidants and assertiveness and the ability to pull the weapon and be ready to use it. I was willing to shoot if he did not stop in front of me. I stood 15 feet from him by the time I turned around and yelled for him to hit the ground. I was confident that if he did not stop I would have shot. I was also making sure that no body jump out of the wood from behind. I made it perfectly clear that if anybody jumps from behind I would shoot the kid on the ground in front of me first! There is a few more more finer details I left them out.
I was also on leave from the US MARINES
The weapon I had was a Smith and Wesson 3" .44 magnum. That later jammed up on me after 20 rounds.
I have been on a quest ever sense looking for the perfect weapon. That was many tears ago.
