Don't mean to hijack but I have been looking into the Springfield XD40 Compact for concealed but I just looked at the Sig P2022 since you mentioned it. Definitely a lot cheaper but how is it for carrying? I see that it is polymer and that is what I want but I don't know much about Sig Sauer other than most OBers say they are good..if they are so good why the cheap price?

I've held the SR9C does seem to fit my hand nicely and is in the running but I don't care for the loaded safety feature. The thing that raises up when it's loaded... not sure how i feel about that yet.

do you own a SR9C? how do you feel about that feature?



I dont have the "c" variant, but rather, the standard sized SR9.
I personally like it just fine. I like the reassurance of knowing whether the chamber is loaded or not. It doesnt affect how I handle the gun but it gives me a piece of mind

Not cheap. Only the cheap model is the one Academy sells. Seems like it is a model made for a cheap sale. If I was to buy a Sig it would not be the model at Academy.

The best way to save money is to find a police officer, firefighter, EMS, or Military (active or retired) and get them to buy it for you from BR Police Supply. You will save between $50-$150 depending on what gun you get.

I own 3 XD pistols, I have never shot the Sig P2022, but I hear nothing but good things about them.

When talking about a pistol for carring I don't think the Springfield Compact or the Sig P2022 are the best of choice. Both are big both are heavy. I use to carry a Springfield Subcompact in 9mm. Was just to bulky for the type of weather and heat we have in TX., or pretty much anywhere along the Gulf Coast.

So I went and bought a true pocket pistol and I went with the Sig P238.

try the s&w m&p's or the SIG Sauer...HK's are the snizzle. Or even the Taurus 92.

All of these have very different grips and have 9mm models.

I have the sigp229, it is a great gun, and since I am of good size I have no problems concealing it when I carry it. I have the .40 but it is available in the 9. I have seen them used on gun broker dot com for the 500 range.

Thanks for all the help guys

Good call. For those Glocks you can join GSSF and get the same discount LEO get.
