Which Sig Is Best?

[NoAdmiration]

The Nitron Model is the MK25 super secret squirrel finish. I will say that my older Sigs did get surface rust if they were not stored properly, so it might be worth the upgrade if you think that will be a problem. As I recall the SRT is standard on the E2s. You can add it later if you like, it's a simple parts swap, but Sig was reluctant to sell me the parts directly. I eventually convinced them so my P245 did have the SRT even though it was never and option for that model.

Does anybody have the P229 Extreme? Thoughts on this one?

 

[NoAdmiration]

There is nothing wrong with the P229. The Extreme version adds fancy grips, which are nice to look at and are very abrasive. If you feel that fancy grips are important that is the way to go.

I hear a lot of people here talking about the E2 models. I don't see any number only models on Sigs website. Only names.

Help us out who don't own 14 of them and are familiar with what I am guessing is Sig "slang".

If I look at the specifications, I see on the Nitron a model number that has E26xxxx. And it states it has "Ergo" grips. The MK does not have this and it does not have the ergo grips. Is this what you guys are talking about?

 

[NyleRN]

Yes ergo grips are the E2. The MK25 has standard grips

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?"

I bought my 320 full size in 9mm specifically for competition. I use it in pistol league now, and allow others to try it out... I have heard your exact statement at the range, along with a similar sentiment by an M&P owner! I'm thinking about sending it to Grayguns over the winter for his competition package. I own the 9 sub compact kit, and have the full size 40 kit on the way as well. Very happy with this pistol, 3 guns with EXACTLY the same trigger? It is my favorite Sig(s)!

Went on an bit the bullet this morning went with a 227 Enhanced Elite, think I made a good choice after looking at reviews and researching. Thanks to all!

Congrats. I think you will like it unless you are one of those guys with little stubby fingers... then you will want to give it to me.

E2 are more "small hand friendly, I love them". Easiest way to tell is standard grips have screws, E2 do not. (If you can't feel the actual grips, that's how you can tell)

rub it in why don't ya!...oh i'm sbu sailor and ive got a sig 320...oh wait i've got 2 sig 320's! and shootersix dont have any!


lol sure you dont want to trade on my glock!

 

[Rockhopper]

I bought a 226 MK25 back in January. Absolutely loved it, until I bought the M11-A1 with the SRT "short reset trigger." So that was my favorite until I put the SRT kit in the MK25, so for now it is back to the top.

I now plan to throw in an IDP Tactical titanium trigger on the M11-A1, because I don't like the OTHER SRT, the "short reach trigger." Then that will probably be my favorite again.

Confused yet?

No trades, but I'm happy to let you shoot it!

I have owned a 229 a 226 a 220 and a 250. As of right now I own no sigs but when I get another one it will be a 226. The 220 and 229 were good guns but the 226 was the one I preferred.

does Sig have any model with no external safety?
separately are there any that are decockers only?

SIG 220 series have no safeties with the exception of very few SAO models they make. 99.9% All of the standars SIG's are DA/SA with a de cocker no safety, they also offer a DAO and DAK (DAK is a nicer DAO). No manual safeties. As far as the rimfire mosqetos not sure about them.

That's the "standard". The only P-series I'm aware of with a safety are the SAO variants.

 

[NoAdmiration]

The P227 is a great choice

Someone is supposed to be picking up a P228 sometime soon...
