+1 for Zyrtec. I had taken shots for my allergies for 14 years and finally outgrew them I guess. Last year they started acting up and my doctor prescribed Zyrtec. Excellent for allergies with no side effects.
I have decided on a Sig 226 for the time being. I'm not thrilled about the DA/SA thing but it was a good deal and the ammo is cheap. With the help of Brians book and some expert advice on this forum along with a lot of shooting I hope to accelerate my learning and pick up a SA 1911/2011 in the near future. Thanks for all the replies.
