r8rs4lf Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Just went out and bought my very first semi auto pistol. My dad had a Sig and I loved the way it felt in my hand so I went out and bought my own. I figure I might as well go big or go home! Thoughts on the gun????

Rays B4U Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 You have purchased one of the finest and most reliable pistols made. Our department issues the Sig P229 in .40 S&W. We have been carrying them since around 1991 and have not had one break or malfunction. Any malfunctions that did occur were determined to be operator error.

j4nash Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 the only more reliable pistols would probally be a glock, but i would have to say that they just don't feel as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redmax Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 very nice choice. youll have years of enjoyment with it. is that the 5" or 4.5"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r8rs4lf Posted September 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 (edited) very nice choice. youll have years of enjoyment with it. is that the 5" or 4.5"? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's the 4.4". Anyone want to tell me the main differences between the 9mm, .357, and .40 S&W? My next one will more than likely be the P229 because it's small and I have a choice of how it can come.

As a matter of fact, I went to my local range to shoot a couple of guns under the advice of my partner and they turned me away. They told me I needed one person with me to rent any gun. I asked why and he told me that he had three different cases were someone came in and rented a gun and ended up commiting suicide in the range. I was like whoa! Anyways, I never got a chance to shoot this model gun, but from all the information I've read, I'm sure I won't be disappointed. As for the Glock, my dad also has one of those. He went through this gun phase back in the day. I myself didn't like it too much, it just didn't feel right in my hand. I think alot of people like it because it's like a fad gun. You always hear of them in movies and videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if you are CCW or not but having a smooth gun helps. Ammo is everything, cheap stuff is just asking for problems, espically in a glock. any gun is cool to have, they hold their value.
