I don't want you to get the impression I'm bagging on you personally, I'm not. The Vigil is an excellent choice, I happen to love my Valor. I'm also a big proponent for revolver use by the average citizen. They offer tangible benefits that have nothing to do with mechanical reliability. Honestly, unless you're a professional problem solver like a cop, I don't think a BUG is all that necessary. I don't carry one anymore and I don't feel in jeopardy because of it. If anything, the takeaway from this incident might be to stay the hell out of the emergency room.
