    Kind of easy to choose, since I only have one. A SIG P229, that I also have a 357 SIG barrel for.

    Why I like it.....

    Have to say, my favorite 40 cal is the Glock 20 10mm. The full charge 10mm loadings turn those 40 cal bullets into monsters. Really brings the 40 to life :)

    I can conceal carry it with ease too.

    What vice could you possibly see in a 226 Elite Dark?
    Cause I can't find one in my 229 Elite Dark!

    I did cull the XD subcompact from the .40 herd.

    I have big hands. The thin profile trigger can pinch the meat of the tip of my finger between it and the frame. I'll be replacing it with the standard contour trigger at my earliest opportunity, probably the SRT such as in my X5. As an aside, they stuck this thin trigger on the P227 as well. Same issue with that gun. I bought them at the same time and this issue didn't occur to me until I got them to the range for some DA/SA double tap drills.
