The 225 seems to have a loyal following for being the least common of the guns on the poll. I think I will check it out. That is the only one I have not held in my hand. The 239 is more suited to what I want but I don't really like the feel of it. I don't hate it and I could get used to it (not like a Glock which feel like 2x4s) but it doesn't sit perfectly in my hand either. Perhaps the 228 is a little large for what I have in mind.

Is the 225 smaller and thinner than the 220?
 
My duty gun is a P228 and I love it.

The only other SIG I have any significant experience with is the P239, and I find the grips to be a bit too small. Also, if you're going to have a gun that's almost as big & heavy as the 228, why not have the 228 with twice the magazine capacity? Range day with the P239 is a pain in the arse loading at least twice as often... And double-stack magazines are slightly easier/quicker to index & load, to boot.

I find the P228 to be very concealable and comfortable to wear for several hours at a time. I can conceal it under an untucked T-shirt.

I actually find the grips even on the 228 to be a bit small, and have added Hogue monogrips, which I really like (except that they can stick to the cover garment and made concealment a little tougher).

One of these days I'm going to get me a p226.
 
I set out to get a 228 without spending big. I never could come up with the right trade combo and get my hands on one. I did however, trade for a 239 a short time ago. I am very happy with the weapon. It's a good size for carry. It's 9mm and shoots well. What more could a shooter want ?
Is it the best ? I can't say. It's the best and only Sig I have. I'm happy.
