Okay guys I am limiting myself to one, that's ONE more pistola' until I get completely out of debt, several months from now.
I intend fully to attend courses at Tac Pro and possibly TPA. I would like to finish the "masters" or "advanced" courses offered by both in pistols. Next year will be shotties.
So here is my situation.
1.) I have 2x Sig 229 in .40 which covers me for work (have to carry a Sig 229 .40) and should meet training needs HOWEVER, 1000 rounds of .40 in quality ammo starts gettig expensive in training and maintaining ability.
2.) I have 2x Sig 228 in 9mm....I don't think I've ever fallen in love with a gun so fast and so hard. 15+1 rounds in a mid compact. This will most likely be the kind of gun I train with.
3.) Just ordered a Sig 226 in 9mm. 17+1 is hard to argue with and I will use this as my commute gun to and from work since I hate packing spare mags. (pulls down my stylishly baggy pants). I have had no trouble packing a full size Glock 17, so I think I can pack one of these. I may also use this weapon as a training pistol due to the majority of my Officers carrying this weapon and I would be able to pass the training on to them.
so here is my question:
Should I double up and get another Sig 226 in 9mm or get a Sig 226 in .40, my officers carry .40 but I do not shoot either of my 229's that much. Maybe once every month or two put 100 rounds or so out of it. 9mm is much more fun and inexpensive. Therefore I may not shoot a 226 in .40 much at all.
OR
Sig 239 in .40 for the once in a blue moon, "can't take your pistol to a party or social gathering" so you sneak a little bitty one IWB on your way out the door. (I always pack, even when I can't I do....Even when I don't, I do.
)
OR get a MAK for the once in a blue moon stuff and get another 226. Technically that would make two guns, but MAK's for $150 I think I can hide at least one. Just put off the steak house for a couple of weeks.
