Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster.
I'm at a loss.
Used Sig 229 in .40, or New Springfield XD 40 Compact?
They're within $30 of each other.
Same caliber.
Same basic manual of arms. Yeah I know the SIG is a DA/SA decocker and the XD isn't.
But the Sig's a Sig man... Me, a Sig owner. Just imagine.
Seriously I'm at a loss here. I tried to see which one would cost less by the time I bought magazines, and even though the SIG only comes with one, by the time I bought another it's still comparable in price to the XD, which comes with 2.
The only slight nod I can give to the XD is that it is slightly shorter, and it has that flexibility to have either the short grip or the long grip depending on what magazine you stick in there. This appeals to me.
I don't think I'll be dissappointed either way, and I'm leaning slightly on the XD's side for that one feature. I won't be actually buying for a while, so I'm doing research. I've read lots of stuff posted here and it seems either one is a good choice.
But I must choose one. Now which?
