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.

You didn't buy any of the poll guns? Good for you......

No ... I didn't buy any of the three on the poll. I was at that time thinking about trying out something different. I just couldn't get myself to do so. Maybe next time I'll consider a Beretta ...

I've had the baby eagle II .40SW semi-compact for a couple of months now ... love everything about it ... especially the feel in my hands

None of the ones you have listed. It would be a Sig P229.

NO?!? You don't say. And people think the Glock fanboys are bad.

You sure you don't want to rag him for not buying a Beretta aka the bestest gun in the whole wide world

Smith & Wesson M&P for the 40 Smith&Wesson round, great feel and nice to shoot

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

none of your choices .... g23 for me

I've owned a G23 and an XD. For the price, I'll take a Sig 2022. Sig accuracy and durability, but cheaper than just about any .40 out there.

You did well E46, they're all fine guns and you got the ones that suits you. Me, I have a Sigma 9mm and Sig P250c 40sw. Both great and I'm happy with 'em.

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.

Thanks Sigma! I hope I did well for myself ... I won't be able to find out until late May. I've got to DROS a P238 for my wife this month. Glad to see that you are happy with your P250C!

One of our local police officers carries a M&P .40 cal in sub compact for backup ..

He had to qualify with it and he let me shoot it.

Wow is it nice.

i fell into this one, wasn't really looking for it, 226ST 40

@ bearone2

That's a good one to fall into - congratulations.

What a beautiful Sig

thanks, i do like stainless sigs.

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.

Beretta Nano when available in a 40 caliber. Handle and shoot the Nano 9mm and you will wait in line with thousands of others to buy a Nano.
