After trying out a few I decided upon the .40S&W Sig P229, pick it up Friday, can't wait!

Sig 229 in 357 SIG was my first pistol. Great stuff!

Unfortunately I had to sell mine during the Dot Com bust when I was jobless for 7+ months.

I've been meaning to get another 357 SIG based pistol. Or maybe a nice barrel for my .40 xD.

Tell us what you think of your SIG when you finally get to take it out!

You know you can just swap the barrel and mag to convert between the 357SIG and .40S&W right? Another great feature of this gun, I'll probably pickup the barrel and mag in a couple of months, it's nice to have the option.

As far as comfort, yes this gun is far superior to all the others i tried, it just felt "right". I was originally looking for a 9mm, but after shooting this one i pretty much fell in love, and the price was right so the deal was done.
