Quality-wise, I doubt that there's going to be a big difference. They both do the same job and both are put out by a company with a reputation for uber-quality firearms. They just go about doing things in a different way. Myself, the only reason I haven't got a Sig 2340 yet is they don't fit my hands quite as well as the P-series do. I would like to get one though one of these days to see how well the 2340 stacks up against my USP-40 Compact and Glock 23.

Maybe its me, but I was always suprised how much larger the Pro "felt" in my hand compared to the classic, and not that much lighter either...Mike

It's not as instinctive as a classic SIG, and doesn't ooze quality through it's pores, but it's as accurate (Or more accurate), and I really can't say I regret buying my 2340.
I have a SIG .40 barrel for my 357SIG 2340, and a 9mm bar-sto barrel for it, making it a 3 caliber gun.
With the 2340 in 9mm mode or 357SIG mode, it shoots like a laser, and the .40 isn't half bad, either.
I just like guns that were designed for the caliber they shoot, not just retrofitted from 9mm frames.
Oh, and it happens to outshoot my 228 and my 229.
I think it's prolly one of the most underrated guns out there right now.
Big fan of the 2340.

Well, you might want to check out the latest Sig called the P250
sig p250 DCc
Makes me wonder if they are getting ready to replace the Sigpro.

I've owned a 229 (in 40) and a 2340 (SIG Pro in 40)... both were absolutely flawless from the first shot though the 229 was bought used. If I had to have a gun that I knew I was going to put 25,000 rounds through, I'd rather it be the 229. The trigger was better on the 229 but again, it was used.
Honestly, I don't care for SIGs as much as 1911s, BHPs, CZs or even Glocks. But they work. And they are as accurate as most folks need in a carry gun. Just go for whichever feels better in your hands and/or whichever you can get the better deal on.

I have a SigPro SP2009 and the P220ST.
No contest, the P220ST is the more durable design, but functionally, I can't see a difference in performance. Longevity seems to favor the P220ST, time will tell.
Save shooting,

Funny , I posted this earlier in the Glock vs Sig thread : If you can't tell , I love my Pro and shoot it better than my 220 and 226 . I picked mine up with only shelf wear for $389 or 399 ( for whatever reason , the shop decided to only keep carrying the .40 and the 2009 = bargain ) , a couple bills less than the other Sigs but it's a very high quality gun , and not just for a polymer framed one .
I think the Pro is one of the most under rated handguns going . I was a bit skeptical when I read some of the first reports on it and took Ayoob's claim it out shot his 226 with a grain of salt but ya know , it's turned out to be the best shooting gun I have . For whatever reason , Sig "Classic" snobs don't seem to care for them but IMO it's the best in their range when cost:ease to operate , care for and shoot:accuracy:fun is balanced out . I do wish they had made a compact version of it .If they had , I could probably even be talked down to owning only 2 pistols if I had to , between it and my HK4 but that's almost like cheating .

Classic.....
The Pro was just way too big for only holding 10 rounds.
Now that new P250DCC looks pretty nice.

The Sig Pro isn't the most underrated gun, because the Steyr M series is!
I was deciding on a primary pistol, and after looking at the Glocks, USP's, and the Sig Pro, I ended up with the (flame bate) SUPERIOR Steyr.
It doesn't have the feel of the P series...

I talked with a sig LE rep a few weeks ago. He said that Sig may not actually do the P-250 in other calibers. It is still up in the air.
