Congratulations.

Man you made 2 great choices

I own both guns and hey are wonderful gun's.

Post some pictures when you get them

Did you buy both in .40 cal?

Thank you Don,

I'm sure I'll be very happy with both guns. As for pictures ... it might be awhile before I can get to that. Yes, I did buy both in .40 cal. Here in California I can only carry 10rd magazines. So buying a 9mm, didn't have in my option any benefits over .40 cal other than cost of shooting while practicing. I'll look for a good conditioned P228 as my 9mm platform and besides I have my P239 in 9mm.

None of the above..........Beretta 96.....Sig.........
None of the above..........
Really felt you had to post that twice

Well, I just found(after searching for a long time) a Beretta 96 inox w/ all stainless controls...but that's because I love Beretta's.....sounds to me like you are used to shooting Sigs.....I wouldn't mind a 226 myself.......I like the SAS models........sure are nice looking guns......
NO?!? You don't say. And people think the Glock fanboys are bad.

You didn't buy any of the poll guns? Good for you......
You sure you don't want to rag him for not buying a Beretta aka the bestest gun in the whole wide world :anim_lol:

I have been looking at the Sig P229 Enhanced Elite for some time as my next purchase. Never owned one but I came across it in my search for a good 357 sig pistol and being that it was mostly steel construction, I heard great reviews about shooting the sig out of it. Never had a non-polymer gun, do you think the P229 EE would be a good conceal carry option? Thanks

I finally brought home my P229 Elite and it is now my favorite pistol that I own. I just love the way it looks. I still haven't shot it yet ... maybe this weekend, but as far a conceal carry? I personally think it's alittle too big for my taste, plus the beavertail makes it even larger than a standard P229. I would think for CC I'd look again at a P250SC.

All the choices were "service" sized pistols. I assume you are not going to try to CC as much as use this as a house gun? All the pistols you listed were great firearms, but a little on the big side for me. (I like to carry any of the pistols I own) As far as the choices were concerned, I had to go with the Smith and Wesson myself.
