Under those conditions, I would get the Sig P230.
It doesn't HAVE an external safety so that is one less step in making the gun ready to fire.
I don't know if you are allowed to loiter around gun stores and shooting ranges, but if you can, get acquainted with active shooters and make friends. Shooters are usually very helpful. If you were here, I would let you shoot my guns and introduce you to people with others.
So Sig Sauer P230 only has a decocker to drop hammer if it is in single-action ready mode? If so, it really seems to be yet another pro to the Sig compared to Mak in my situation...
I can go around ranges and stores. I will definitely go to ranges and try to get acquainted with gun owners when I'll get my permit and buy my handgun.
Are your laws very strict about you not accidently showing "flashing" your gun such as when you reach for your wallet at the checkout counter?
However as I am not restricted to how many handguns I can own (other than busting the budget) when the weather is cooler requiring a jacket I carry a larger size pistol.
Law only says that one must carry a handgun in such a way to not draw any attention to it. From that I think there would be no real problems if someone sees the gun in such a short period of time as we are also allowed to carry blank pistols which use gas cartridges for self defense (instead of gas spray) - these do not require any permit, if you're 18 you can just buy and carry one - so I think major part of local population on a glance would not be able to tell a difference between real hand gun and a blank gun...
Also if I will get the permit I can own up to 10 guns (I have to get separate permits for buying each one of them, though) without needed a gun collection permit, so if I'll get my CCW permit I may apply for another permit for purchase of another handgun.
