I forgot to add, I also shot another Glock in 9mm, but don't remember the specific model. It was very similar to the Glock 40.

Anyway, on to the pics!

Nice.

Can't go wrong with a Sig, IMO. Congrats.

Method · 07-06-2011, 04:39 PM

Thanks! I'm happy with the purchase and am looking forward to getting to know it well.

I don't plan on carrying this pistol. I'm looking to get in some serious range time over the next 6 months to a year to become very comfortable with it and get the newbishness out of my system. At that point if I'm feeling comfortable with it, I'd like to invest in something like an XD9C for carry.

To carry this early (even with the CCW classes) into gun ownership I feel would be irresponsible.

Good plan. Practice with the Sig, carry a Ruger Super Alaskan with a 2.5" barrel. 454 Casull should have enough stopping power.

Nice report! It's was nice to read the differences you experienced and that you had a clear winner. I've shot the P229 and P226 Navy, both in 9mm. They are very nice.

The Glock was probably the 17 or 19, depending if it was full or compact. Nice, although I've not shot the Gen 4... only Gen 3 and a RTF.

Congrats on the new purchase!

Nice pick with the Sig, you will be happy.

Not sure exactly how your CCW works in OR but you could get the permit and then carry when YOU feel your ready.

Congrats.

( I know exactly what you meant when you said the glock didn't "fit". It seems to be one of those weapons you either like or not )

Thanks for prompting me to clarify - I'm still planning on taking the CCW class and applying for the permit, but don't plan to actually carry for quite some time. The way I look at it, the more classes and informed I can be now, the better off I will be in the long run. I'm trying to get a head start on the learning curve.

It was weird about the glock. They seem to be fine pistols, it just didn't quite sit in my hand just right. Didn't have the comfort level of the Springfield or the Sig.

I handled a few revolvers as well, and while those were nice I felt more comfortable with the semi-auto/autoloader/whatever you want to call them pistols.

Now I'm trying to talk my wife into getting a SA XD9SC, though we'll have to wait a while. She's preggo with twins right now, so no hugely loud bangs or lead exposure for her.

If she is interested, have her talk to The Chi as she has that exact same model for CC, tho she hasn't made it a priority to get the permit yet...

Nice pistol, I love my Sig.

Now all you need are some Hydra Shok's, and you're in business.

(These are in .45 ACP, 230 grain, but you get the idea...)
