opinions on a 9mm pistol...

[LeonCarr]

Of the pistols listed, the Sig is the best choice. A 9mm Glock of some kind would give you the same handling characteristics and controls as your Glock 22. Read the signature .

Just my .02,

Of the choices, I'd recommend the USP compact.
I just sold my 229 in .40/357SIG, and couldn't be happier.
I'm wondering why you didn't consider the 228?
My 228 is twice the gun as my 229 was.
But my USP compact is the one I would recommend.
In order for a gun to beat it in the accuracy department, I have to equip it with optics or a red dot.
My 228 is no slouch when it comes to accuracy, but the edge in engineering goes to the H&K.

I'll have to look how the 228 differs from the 229...

So many choices to choose from.

are high cap mags around the same price as glock mags for most guns mentioned? ie sig, hk, beretta...I think someone mentioned cz mags on only $20...?

The choice is simple choose the Sig!!!

decided on the sig p228

going tomarrow to put a deposit on it
can't wait to get it

thx for all thoughts/opinions

Wise choice, I can't hink of better 9mm auto for the money. Of course there are P7M8 and Sig P210, but they are slightly more difficult to get. Make sure you get preban MecGar magazines to go with your P228.

 

[Ridgeway]

Not sure if they are MecGar(thats a brand I assume?), but included with it I did get 2 high cap mags in addition to the 2 factory mags
(also got hogue[sp?] grips included)

FWIW, I can only use Hogue's on single stacks (autos); otherwise they just make the grip too big for me. A lot of folks like the P228, it should do fine for you.

 

[Ridgeway]

also included were the original grips so I can switch back if I find it to be too big...can't wait to hit the range & try it out

I have a SIG 239, it's a 357 and I have a 40 barrel that is in the gun most of the time. If you are going to CCW in the future, the 239 in 9mm should work fine. I also have a Kahr K9, a little smaller and thinner than the 239 but a sweet shooter that's excellent for CCW. I love my Glock 19 also, but the Kahr is on my hip most of the time. Oops, almost forgot the Glock 26, very nice little gun that can be carried any way you want. I just like the smaller guns, they work for me.
