Is the money you spend on a SIG worth it?!?

[wtfd661]

The nitron finish is fine. When I first got one I thought it showed every little mark. Then I wiped it down with a little oil and a silicon impregnated cloth. It looks like new afterward. My P220 has thousands of draw strokes from dry fire practice and range trips from both kydex and leather and it looks like new.

I was going to post this almost word for word!

why would it be suggested to stick with 9mm with the p239?

My answer to the OP's question: Yep!
Owner of the following..
P238 retired EDC
P938 current EDC
P320 compact 9mm
All three top quality,and I would rely on any of them to save my life and others.

but then my question is, do you not trust any other manufacture?

I am curious as to BBIs answer myself.

Personally I am not a big fan of .40 in compact guns. That is not criticism of the .40 because I think it is a fine cartridge. I am simply not a fan when chambered in non-service sized pistols. Glock 23 or Sig 229 are as small as I care to go with that cartridge.

I carry and shoot my 226 mk25 more than anything else. After 17k rounds i've had one squib round and that was it.

With that said i've put thousands of rounds through other guns as well without issue but the 226 is what i come back to. Quite frankly if you told me i could only keep one handgun out of my safe it wouldn't even be a debate. my trusty 226 is the only gun i wouldn't hesitate to keep.

I just seen an article from The Firearms Blog about a limited edition "p229 Carry"....... why must I be broke lol

I absolutely HATE the way Sigs feel in hand. The low beavertail forces a low and awkward grip for anyone used to a "high-hands" grip.

CZ FTW.

A smaller grip and lighter gun make recoil control harder. Not that I expect the .40 will be painful or the like, but I think the 9mm will be much easier to track the front sight under recoil, etc. In larger guns with more surface area on the grip and that were designed as .40s from the get go, say the P229 or Beretta 9000, the difference is not as pronounced.

It is, however, personal preference and there's certainly nothing wrong with the .40 or .357 version (other than price of feeding it for .357 Sig).

i think i would be ok being as that i enjoy shooting the xds in .45 lol

The rest of us were thinking it. Chezuki just said it...

It's not that Sigs are bad.....It's just that CZ's are better

Very true, after shooting a P210, I now own 4 of them.

That sounds....Expensive....

I have carried several different Sigs over the past 25 years. Started with 226 9mm, went to 220 in 45, 226 in 40, now the 320 in 9. As issued off duty guns, sig 230, 232, and 250 subcompact. I've shot them, a lot, over the years in both training and competitions. Usually bought the same model to shoot extra with.
So, I would say they are worth every penny. That's my .02.

What kind of competitions do/did you shoot in? And which Sigs did you use for them? I don't see many Sigs at all in the events I have gone to.

Some I trust. Most major manufacturers are going to be dependable. I just don't like the way some of them look. Others I hate how they feel in my hand. The grip angle makes their natural point of aim feel off to me in some cases. Everyone is going to have a different way of looking at such things.

I have a Sig MK25 and love it. Got it from Plainfield SS and I think it was worth the money.

I think you guys have your own thread........

My 228 came with a pair of hogue grips installed, which makes the grip just ever so slightly large for me. Thats my only complaint with sigs (and the price point on new models).
