Well I wasted a good mouth full of beer on that comment!!! Good thing it wipe's off easy.

You taking about my sig? The great quote from Druryj!

Thanks for everyone's input. I think I am leaning toward the 23 over the smaller 27 as most suggest.

I have a 23 now after once having a 27. Any carry gun should be fired a lot (IMO) with practice and training, but with the short grip the 27 will quite possibly wear you out after a little while. As mentioned the 23 can become a 9mm in short order for a little cheaper practice.

I own and have carried both. I like the 23 better.

23 easy to carry, good H/D...and can switch out barrells to make ..357 sig And 9mm
So basically have 3 guns in one...

This.

And then get the subcompact and full size ones to keep them company. They get loney.....

This is true...8)
and you know the 23 mag will fit in the 27...no more "grip"prob

I've had both. Both serve different roles/purposes. Both are fine weapons. Sorry I can't tell you which is a better weapon.

I guess if it was one of those "if you could only own one" kinda thangs, I'd say go with the 27 for concealability.

When I first got to this theater, as a new operator, we were primarily carrying 27's as they are easier to conceal for most of the operators than the 23's. But as in most specialized units, the Quail Springs 1 Team was given a great degree of latitude in individual handgun selection. Our Weapons Expert, MDP, carries 6 different handguns, all concealed and among them is at least one 23 and one 27. The Lead Segway Man, Infowarrebel, goes with pretty much the same lead-out, especially around the holidays as those pesky little crumb-snatchers and their Soccer Mom mothers can get pretty damn rough in the mall...let me tell you , the things I could tell; show...it's damn scary. Good thing we were all trained by the Mall Master hisself; Pisson10.
