I love my SIG P-225 (the original, not the poor imitation that SIG tried to foist on us a couple of years ago). I use it primary as a range gun. It is very comfortable to shoot and the size, is just about perfect for me, as are the ergonomics. I also had a SIG 226, which was my duty gun back in the 90's and while it was a very good gun, in the end, the 225 was just more comfortable and concealable as well, so I sold the 226 and kept the 225.
I had a S&W 439 and a S&W 5926. The 439 had a slimmer and rounder grip than the 5926, but held fewer rounds. The 5926 had a better trigger and the SIG inspired decocker that I much prefer. I ended up selling both as the SIG 225 and BERETTA pistols had much better triggers.
I also have a BERETTA 92CDM, a compact version of the BERETTA 92, with an 8 shot, single stack magazine. I also enjoy shooting it, but I measured the grip, the other day and found the trigger reach was exactly the same as my BERETTA 92CD, which has a 13 shot magazine. Sometimes, a single stack offsets the lower round capacity compared to a gun with a double collumn magazine, other times it does not.
