This is one reason that I probably shouldn't shoot any Sigs. It will probably end up costing me a bunch of money over my lifetime.

I made the mistake of renting a CZ 75 and shooting it alongside my Glock 19. The next thing I knew I owned a CZ 75 and it is on it's way to Cajun Gun Works as I type this.

This is exactly why I don't own a Sig. I don't even care for lefty mag releases or slide releases. I can work the slide release with my left index finger, and I work mag releases with my middle finger on my left hand, but I cannot work their safety/decocker with my left hand.The Annoyed Man wrote:I might have bought a P226 years ago after shooting olafpfj's once. It's a very pleasant gun to shoot. But the problem for me — and this is true of almost all of the non-1911 pattern Sig pistols — is that they have essentially written off the left-handed market. I don't care so much about slide-stops or take-down levers as much as I do safety/decocker levers. My Glocks get away with it by virtue of the trigger and internal safety mechanisms, rendering them essentially ambidextrous. My Springfields get away with it by virtue of trigger, internal, and grip-safeties, rendering them essentially ambidextrous. My M&P45 has trigger, internal, and bilateral thumb-safeties, rendering it essentially ambidextrous. The Springfields have ambidextrous mag releases. The Glocks' and M&P's mag releases are reversible for left-handlers. Even so, I've shot right-hand-only mag release guns for so many years now that I'm used to using my left index finger to drop the mag; so the mag release is not as important to me. But if I am going to carry any gun that has an external frame or slide mounted safety or decocker lever, it HAS to be left-hand friendly, or it's useless to me.
I'd love to own a P226, but I can't justify the fairly expensive price one if I'm not going to carry it.

I'm also a Sig fan-boy. My last Sig purchase was the P226 in .357 Sig, what a fantastic gun. It's always on the nightstand with a green laser/light ready to go. Sig had a good deal on a .22 caliber conversion kit for the P226 a while ago and bought it. It's a cheap way to have fun with the 226.

Well, I've done it again. I bought a Sig P320 Subcompact 9mm, ordered another Vedder Light Tuck holster and Vedder Mag Tuck pouch. This is a double-column 12-rd mag +1 in the chamber, and my Sig P250C mags fit in it too. That mag just sticks out about 1/2 inch, and holds 15 rds. By the way, I can't say enough good things about Vedder Holster Company. Ships in 3-4 days, that snap as the pistol seats in the hoster inspires confidence in those rigs.XDFan43 wrote:Like some of you, I have owned and traded several semi-auto pistols in my life, including an early Sig 220, Sig 226, Sig 228, Sig 229, and Sig 239, one of my favorites. A few short months ago, I bought one of the most underrated and inexpensive Sigs ever, and it's my dream gun: Sig P250 Compact, a double-action-only 9mm. It is the first double-column Sig I've owned that actually fits my hand and fingers perfectly. It has the smoothest DA trigger I've ever felt on a semi-auto handgun, and I carry it in the perfect holster, the Vedder Light Tuck IWB kydex holster. This one is a keeper, and my goal is to pick up and handle every Sig I see in a gun shop. Yes, I want more of these Sig guns!
