Which Sig Is Best?

[OutdoorDad]

226 with srt is my vote. If your looking for a sig to carry, the 2022 is an awesomely under rated pistol. It for some reason has never received the attention it should.

This is good advice ^^^

I have owned, and currently own many different SIGs.
My 226 Navy is my "go to". It is the definitive auto loader pistol. It is the standard by which all other handguns should be judged.

Having made that bold statement. I agree that the 2022 or SIGPro is an awesome pistol. It fits my hand better, and I frequently shoot it better than my 226. From a value perspective, there is no better choice that I am aware of by any manufacturer.

But, if I'm cutting the lawn, a 238 goes into a belt clip.

Headed downtown for an evening out? a 938 in a IWB hybrid holster.

In the mood to shoot my own junk off? I've got a SIG 1911 that I can tuck into my belt at the 1 o'clock position in condition zero. (ok, maybe not)

Thats like asking which Ferrari is best.. I own 3 P226's (a german, a standard p226r, and a mk25d), 3 p228's (a West German P228, a p228r, and a beater german p228), a p220 elite stainless (probably the finest mass produced firearm I've ever shot in my life), a p238 sas (my go to pocket gun), a pair of p239's, and a german p6.

I edc my beater p228 and I tear that SOB up. Shoot it once a day on average (work a gun shop as a 2nd job), clean once a week, and literally feel comfortable tossing it out of my car at 60mph onto assphalt if i ever felt the need to lol.

Any DA/SA sig is going to be a great choice, but I love the P228 the best. About the same size as the G19 (a little taller), and the availablity to accept p226 mags (15/18/20rds).

On another note, the P228 has been called by many... "the best combat sidearm ever produced." I personally don't think that is true (I'd choose an MK25 p226, or a P227 over a p228 if i were to go into combat), but for an all around great every day practicality, a P228 will serve you in every aspect.

It's hard to go wrong with any Sig with the SRT trigger that fits your hands. I need the E2 grip because I have medium sized hands at best. If you can rent one at a range that is your best bet.

I also prefer the E2 grip. How do you know by looking at the Sig website which ones have the E2 grip?

i really like the size of my 239, it's my fav!
on second thought i really like the way the 220 fits my hand its my fav!
on third thought my m11a1 shoots the best its my fav!
on fourth thought my 226 has the right balance, shoots great, and fits my hand awesome, its my fav!


oh hell, why dont you ask an easier question....like what makes a woman happy?

It looks totally different. The easiest way to tell at a glance is standard grips have grip screws, E2 grips do not.

^^^ What he said, plus ~ on fifth thought, this full-size 9mm P320 is an excellent range/production race gun... it's my new fav! (Insert at proper place in text) ^^^

ive fondled a 320, but dont have one yet, it'll be my next handgun! ive spent 50.00 plus shipping to make my glock trigger feel the same way a factory sig 320 feels!

i added a
zev competition spring kit
zev 3.5# connector
zev titanium pin kit
and i hand polished the factory trigger bar,safety plunger, and firing pin
extended mag release
extended slide release
stainless guide rod

i did all that before sig came out with the 320, we special ordered a 320 for a guy, and i got to fondle it before he picked it up, and all i can say is "anybody want to trade a P320 for my glock?"

Thanks! Looks like the Nitron model is for me.

I have owned a P239 in .357 sig, a P245 and an Elite Dark P220 in .45, A p238 in .380. For me, the best Sig is a Glock 19... :-P

Your taste, sir, is all in your mouth.

 

[bmoan]

the P220 with short plus size fingers can almost reach the slide release on.

 

[NoAdmiration]

I agree, I love Sigs and it took me forever to convert to Glocks... at the end of the day, the Glock is just so much easier to carry. Still Sigs are beautiful and well made.

 

[Tomahawkman]

I just recently bought my first Sig a 226 Nitron. Im very please so far. Most comfortable gun I've ever held with the E2 grips, puts my 1911s ergos to shame really..

 

[Mr Evilwrench]

My second pistol was my 230 in .380, which I'll still go to for deep concealment. My son has a 227 .45 we found a bargain on (seriously had people trying to buy it from us on our way out) and I even managed to track down some [STRIKE]hens' teeth[/STRIKE]14 round mags.

My P220 was a Nitron with night sights and SRT. The SRT (Short Reset Trigger) is fantastic. It's apparently an easy swap in if a pistol doesn't come with it, though I've never done it myself.

Sig 226 But 320 does not have SRT either does the 210

 

[BluePig]

Right now, I am really starting to fall for my 320.
I need more conversion kits to really make a better determination though.
No mention of the MK25...
I could go out the door with my Mk25 and be confident that it would go the distance.

For a more serious opinion, 9mm P226 E2 with SRT. It's got everything you could possibly need and you'll grow stronger just from carrying it.

Is this technically the Nitron model only without the SRT? You can add that after you buy it, correct?
