If you've never had the privelage of shooting a Sig, it would be WELL worth your time. If you're expecting to spend in the neighbohood of $700, look at a Sig P229. My buddy lent me an XD40 and a 229 one day to shoot. I hefted the XD, and immediately didn't like it. The way I bring a gun to bear, the XD's sight picture was too low. Grabbed the Sig, and it was right on target, every time. I just wish I could afford one....
www.Gunbroker.com has them all over the place. Some are used, but "Factory certified." They're a little bit more affordable.
I wouldn't put too much in what he had to say. Sounds like he's a Glock purest and they have a tendency to condemned any weapon other than a Glock. I've talked to several Greenville Sheriffs officers at gun shows and most of them liked Kel-Tek and carried one as a bug. Never did they say they couldn't carry one. I have a Glock 33 that has been worked over by a Glock gun smith and I've never been able to fire hollow points. So every weapon out there can have bugs. As far as the XD goes I have an XD Standard and I hate the feel of it. I fired a few rounds and put it up, one weapon I won't be using. Even though I gave you my opinion you have to take all opinions about weapons with a grain of salt. People have a tendency to support their favorite manufacture/weapon. You also have to remember that all troopers are not gun nuts. Most of them have only fired their service weapon and only do it when required. That's the reason the survival rate is so good for a BG in a fire fight with LE. Bottom line is look around find a weapon you like and buy it. Take it apart fire it a lot and get familiar with the working and quirks of it. Then you will have a weapon you can trust and it will become an extension of yourself. Carry it and be Proud!II asked him about Kel Tec or Skyy as a carry gun - he said absolutely not - he said they are just not reliable enough. The Greenville County Sheriff's office as ban'ed their officers from carrying Kel-tec's - on or off duty. Again, he swore by his Glock.
