My only question for the SIG 9mm fans:
Why is that pistol so HEAVY ? 32 ounces EMPTY. That's a chunk of CCW there. Havent those folks heard of Aluminum by now ? |

I think its more of the size of the slide than anything. IIRC cz75, which has a steel frame, is almost as light if not lighter. Sig is a more polished gun from the factory though, but I think there are much better CCW options out there. It would make a great duty or bedside gun though. |

I switched to a 239 because I like the trigger, but those glocks weigh a lot less. The g32 is much lighter and holds more boolits. I do, however, like flat spare mags in the sig p239. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Isn't the 229 pretty much the new 228? Besides mag cap. and price what is the difference from the M11? The P229 has been around a long time in 9mm or .40. A real M11 is a P228 with the folded slide and in 9mm only. Has internal parts treated but P228 does not. Same 13 round mag capacity in the M11/P228 and a standard 9mm P229. The real M11/P228 is a good bit lighter than a P229, but I am not sure they make P228s any more except maybe a run here and there for the military as an M11. If you are thinking of the M11-A1, yeah, that is built on the P229 but is not really an M11. It does, however, carry 15 rounds and has the internal parts treated like a real M11. This regular P229 is, in my opinion, closer to a P228/real M11 than the M11-A1 except for the stainless slide on the P229. |

I added more info. I am torn on the M11-A1 as I would really rather have a real M11. My 2 P228s are close with the only real difference being the lack of treatment of the internal parts on the P228. Apparently Sig had an overrun, once upon a time, of real M11s so they got stamped M11B. Those are real M11s but very hard to come by and the owners usually want big bucks. |

I'm seriously thinking about it, I love me some Sig goodness. Since this is a carry piece, I couldn't justify spending a grand on something theta would see wear and dings and what not. |
