Well it was removed. Now she has some type of nerve and tissue damage and growth that starting showing up on her left side. It basically consists of scar tissue, nerve damage, and her arteries. Her nerves starting knotting up around her scar tissue. Then wrap up around her arteries. The pain that is cause by this is really sharp pains shooting throughout her left side, shortness of breath (due to it pushing on her heart and lungs), and very mild paralysis of her left side. Some days she is ok and others, she can't get out of bed. We are going to get her some surgery at the end of july in Little Rock, AR. It's the only place that can treat her. The surgery is only going to help with the pain. They don't know how to stop it from growing. Nor can they remove it due to it being wrap around some of her main arteries. I can't afford to give her all the treatment and it kills me to see her lying there trying to breath and crying.

Taurus Stainless PT92 (first gun, was ok.. )
2 Desert Eagle Mark XIX equipped with 6" .44cal, the other was a .50cal (bullet's cost and arm and a leg, not practical at all)
Para-Ordnance Hawg subcompact .45 (my fav) 10+ rounds in a "widdle" package
Cobra Mac-11 (POS), first time at the range and it fell apart.. but i had this gangster 30 round clip that made it nasty lookin!!
i had a nice digital secure safe for my guns.. and kept it at the top of the closet... i came home one day and found my son climbing the shelves in the closet... he wasn't after my gun safe, but it was enough to scare the schit out of me. I sold them all within a few weeks. i've been to a few gun shows here in the past 6 months, but have yet to find another pistol i want...
Dustin, if you can get Para-Ordnance, let me know man! I loved that gun!

well let me explain the difference. If you shoot somebody that's attacking you with a 9mm, it will hurt them but you may have to shoot them a few times if they are filled with rage. If you shoot them with a .45, you will only have to hit them once and it will blow a huge hole out of the other side or take a limb off with it.

No not really. My Ruger P95 cost $350, the smith & wesson 45 is about $450-500, and the SP XD compact 45 is about $540. I mean, you are gonna pay more but you get the extra power and quality. You really need to go look at some if you are really interested in getting one so you can feel the difference of all of the guns. You have to find the one that is comfortable for you.
