[QUOTE="scalawag pimp, post: 2136282, member: 24580"] I collect sig and I could talk all day with you about sig history and what makes one a collectable. You can contact me via PM if you would like to go through that but to quickly answer your question: Since you mentioned carry specifically, I think you will be limited to the P239, P238 or P938. I would exclude the P228 and P229 even though they are considered compact guns. Their double stack mags make them too bulky for carry in my opinion. I would also remove the P238 and P938 from consideration because I personally cannot stand the feel of the subcompact models (way to small). But you also eliminated them since you dont want a 9mm and I sure that includes the .380. And while the P220 is one of the best .45 out there, even the carry model is too big for carry i think; even though that sounds funny. So the only choice (and a good one) is the P239. It is a great gun and its single stack makes it ideal for carry. The fact you can get it in .357 sig makes it a great man stopping round too. The only thing you have to be careful of is the Sig red box, they are CPO gun and a lot of people sell them as new! Also, just because it says made in Germany on the slide does NOT mean the gun was made in Germany if that make a difference to you. I tried to keep it short but you can pm me and we can talk in detail if you like. Good luck on your first Sig and I promise it will not be your last. [/QUOTE]
