I have posted about trying to pick a 9mm pistol at least twice before, and the stress/strain from the decision making process is making me crack! I am finding a (cash price) which I don't have, but here are the choices I am narrowed down too. Since its a credit purchase the cost is a factor, but I am not put off paying the $$$, or maybe I am and thats the issue... anyway the choices,
Sig P226R Elite (old model I guess) for $799
Sig P226R $752
XDM 3.8 for $574
Normal XD package $470
Stripped XD package $399
Glock 17 $474
Of all the choices I am torn mostly between the Elite and the XDM 3.8. I really want both, but can only get one. I really like the idea of a sig, but it's another full size in the stable, and I feel like the 3.8 will be a better CCW. I don't want to get the SIG or the 3.8 and be disappointed. I was convinced I wanted a normal XD until I saw the 3.8 version. I was also convinced I wanted a SIG, but it seems more of a "status" type weapon. My current HG inventory is lacking a 9mm. I have Kimber 45, bersa 380 and Ruger GP100 in my stable.
