I went to the dark (Sig) side...

[msh85csa]

Yep, I finally comitted the ultimate sin...I sold my 3 week old M&P9 (which I LOVED) to get a new Sig P229 9mm. I got good money for the M&P and got a good deal on the Sig and Ive always wanted a Sig. It is soo BAD! (as in awesome) I DO definately want another M&P9 again (hopefully the same one...I sold it to my aunt) someday buy money wouldnt permit both at the moment so I had to pick the one I'd rather have. I like the DA/SA.

Honestly I do miss the M&P though, however nice this thing is, there is something loveable about the M&Ps for me.

Sorry, I just had to share my situation.

I have a 229 9mm and it is the most accurate and reliable pistol that I own. I have fired well in excess of 10k rounds without any problems of any kind.

Nice upgrade in my opion. I belive Sigs are the most out of the box accurate weapon you can shoot. Love all my Sigs. Congrats.

 

[nm38special]

Maybe now you can upgrade to a caliber of consequence.

 

[gatorhugger]

smith for a sig. Uggh.

 

[mauiblue]

I love my Sig Sauer pistols (P220R and P220 Carry two tone). I got all my magazines from Top Gun Supply (Sig Sauer branded). Have fun with your new pistol. I'm sure you'll get the M&P back again.

You acquired a Simply Incredible Gun. You did just fine.

 

[Spotteddog]

The Sig 250 was the only other serious contender with the M&P9c for my current carry auto. You did fine. One day your Aunt will let you take it out to play!

 

[Camprunner]

I had a Sig 229 in 9mm and it was a great pistol and the most accurate out of the box gun I ever had.

Have to agree with that. Now, if only I could afford one....

 

[presspics]

The 229 is a fine weapon. Overpriced but nice.

 

[sar4937]

Our fearless leader dumped a Smith for a Sig (and I mean that in a good way). I have 8 of them.

Did I get lost??? SIG love fest? SIG forum?

Nothing personal, but I will take an AMERICAN MADE Gun. I remember when the Ruger P series came out and everyone was saying how the lines were not right, how homely it was.
Those look like a darn work of art compared to this homely lineup of SIGS.
C'mon folks, for one second take a STRONG second look at that pistol! That is a ugly darn gun! it's mishapened, almost as bad as those Beretta U series .22's.
Lot of snob appeal, people liking these foreign guns. It's a darn Beamer of handguns except Beamers are decent looking.
A Smith Sigma puts this gun to shame in looks and is a fraction of the cost.
Please don't tell me it's not snob appeal. It is. Which I can understand if the gun is great looking and performs better.
This one doesn't.

Pick a M&P American made gun which is better looking and might keep some people employed in the states if you got to have plastic. The quality is the same, it's cheaper, and it's sure a whole lot better looking.
SMITH AND WESSON!

I have the same gun, except mine has the DAK trigger.

Alot of the gun is made in Exeter (USA). Not just brought in to a US warehouse and distributed. My Sig 556 rifle is American made.

 

[JamesArthur60]

...the dark side...Whew, I thought you bought a Glock.

My 229 is a keeper as well. I won't say it to loud, but I'm not a fan of the M&P trigger. Shhhhhhhh...

 

[29aholic]

The missus and I both have 229 Sigs and they are both convertables (357 Sig/40 S&W).
I am about as diehard S&W revolver and Colt 1911 fan as there is, and own several, but if TSHTF it will be my Sig I grab.

 

[hberttmank]

Nothing wrong with a Sig, I have several. Too bad you couldn't afford to keep the M&P, but you can always get another.
