Polymer frame SIG's - .40SW or .357SIG?
 

After 10 yrs. of loving my P-220 (Two-toned with Robar NP3, Hogue rubber grips and Trijicon night sights - yeah baby!), I'm moving to something smaller for concealed carry (third renewal - Virginia is for shooters!). I'm still not 100% sure my next gun will be a SIG, but I'm leaning heavily toward the polymer frame SP2022. Still undecided on caliber, though 9mm is out. I want either .40SW or .357SIG. I have never shot .357SIG and probably won't get a chance to do so before the huge show coming up by my house in 3 wks.

Every time I go to the range (I live walking distance from the NRA HQ), I shoot my P-220 and my S&W .44mag. So I'm pretty used to the heavy handguns and recoil. I'm about 6'1" and 220lbs. What would you guys recommend and why? Either one will fit in my 911 door pockets;).

The best gun for carry is one you will carry and never leave home. I have Keltec P-11 (in 9mm, 14 oz) for carry and a Keltec P3-AT (.380 Auto, 8 oz) for those time when I need real small.

I bought a Sig P239 in 40S&W. They make barrel replacements for .357sig. The 40S&W replacement is easier to find and cheaper, so I'd go for the .357sig new if I had a choice. My Sig was used and an excellent price in 40S&W. I'm waiting on buying a .357sig barrel. I've shot both, and they are both accurate in the range expected for use in concealed carry.
Personally, the sig is a little big for carry. For others, it's just right. Try it out in the store.
