My two main EDC. I have a couple nice Staccatos in 9 and 45, but find myself always passing them by for single stacks and steel. Guess Im old.

Smith PC 7 shotter with Wilson Combat trigger tuning. LPA rear sight. Working on finding a fiber front sight.

The gun I will never sell… NightHawk T4 Gov in smoked nitride that I travelled with my son to build while on a deployment break. It is hands down the favorite of everything I own.

My go to 9mm for 15+ years has been my german Sig P228r. Legion controls. A whole mess of gun smith tuning. Great sights. The works.

it is such a fantastic gun…but finding servicing parts was starting to become like owning a classic car, and not the experience I wanted from a carry and shooting gun. The Staccato is too big.

LGS had this today, and the bargain was struck.

I picked these up to test and use for work.
The thumb release on the safariland is a well thought of retention device. As you thumb it back to release the pistol it continues the motion and thumbs off your thumb safety. I look forward to putting it through its paces. The multitudes of belt style attachments allows me to hone the sweet spot off my hip. A shock is that my arms, though long, prefer a mid ride as opposed to a low ride holster. I look forward to playing around with this.

A P228R was my first handgun, sold it for the same reason as you. Fantastic guns from when Sig was still Sig in my eyes.

yeah. I agree. I was issued a mess of Sigs over the years. Pro, 228, 229, 226. Ones made in germany or on a dod contract all ran great. The ones out of exeter were pure garbage For me. I had so many failures with exeter guns I lost all confidence in the brand. Personal 365 ftf and failure to return to battery. 229’s with ever failure imaginable to include frame failures. One course in particular i recall had 16 shooters in the line, 2 glocks, a vp9, and the rest exeter 229’s. Every 229 had to be pulled off the line at least once and 9 of 13 were replaced on account of armor level repairs required.

Ironically, the sig pro’s were were categorically the best from a reliability standpoint.

the constant changes to the slide internals design to the classic line over the years makes finding the right parts, especially extractors, a pain in the ass.

my horror stories with the brand go on. Anyway. No point in keeping it when something like the EDC X9 exists.
