Excellent range gun
WALT,
The big advantage of the 225 is the grip circumference. At least in my opinion. I take my 225 to the range as often or possibly more often than any other 9m.m. and it is my favorite range gun.
The combination of weight and grip size keep recoil down, so control is very good. The squarer grips of the double stack pistols do not fit my hand as well, even though I have carried them on duty for over 20 years.
I would be perfectly happy if issued a 225 in 9m.m. I found the trigger on mine to be the smoothest of any SIG, but that is probably just the look of the draw. Accuracy is excellent, reliability is again excellent. The weight works against it for a concealed carry, but no more than the weight of a 228/9 and they are quite popular.
My wife was able to shoot the 225, when no other 9m.m. would fit her hand.
I will be the first to admit, that I would carry a GLOCK 19, SPRINGFIELD ARMORY XD9 Sub Compact or WALTHER P99 before the P225, but it would not bother me if that is what I had to choose.
