For a single stack 9mm I picked a Sig P6 from Wideners for $379. A $25 parts kit from Top Gun Supply to swap out the recoil spring and the mainspring and you have a hell of a nice gun.
Sig still makes replacement parts too.
Tear the slide down, clean everything and put it back together dry with the exception of a little grease on the spring end of the extractor.
While you have it apart inspect everything thoroughly.
I've had my DB9 for about a year. It had to go back to the factory as soon as I got it due to light strikes.
I have about 250 rounds through it now and all of them have been trouble free.
Anytime I go on vacation I carry two guns for a few reasons:
1 You are probably not going to be familiar with your surroundings and we have ended up in crackdown a few times by accident.
2 Malfunctions happen and you never know when your primary will go down. If a spring breaks while you are...
Sig customer service is top notch. I sent my P229 in to get the SRT installed and the slide bead blasted.
They sent it back to me with a free SCT mag ($50 value) new night sights ($100 value) and the bead blasting done for free ($90 value).
It took them a week longer than quoted because...
First the sights. Sigs use a #8 front and rear on the 9mm and a #6 front and #8 rear for the .40
You would have to find a sight manufacture to help you figures out the sights heights and supply them to you. It would be easier for you to learn to shoot with the combat sight picture. It isn't...
Small guns are harder to shoot well and even harder to learn on.
I would suggest a "compact" and not a "subcompact" for a first gun. I.E. Glock 19 instead of a 26.
I had both this XD9SC and an XD45 Compact and have decided to switch to all Glock. Besides my one Sig P229 (that I will never sell or trade) I only have Gaston's products.
My wife loves the feel of my Glock 27 but the recoil is a tad much for her. The 26 would be perfect for her to carry instead.
