Hello all,
First post (outside of the classified section....should have reversed...). Nice to be here.
I'm a recent Sig convert and want something that will be 1) a good backup gun to my issued Glock 22, and 2) something that I'll like to shoot outside of qualifications. I just sold a Glock 27 (perfect backup gun to my duty pistol....but I hated shooting it...) and want to replace it with something that 1) is more comfortable to shoot, and 2) not as bulky.
A co-worker carries a LC9, which is nice and thin but it's a bit of a firecracker to shoot and the trigger isn't my favorite. I've shot a LCP, but I'd like something a bit more powerful in a frame that fits my hand better.
I held a Sig 290RS today and really like it...it was one of the "enhanced" versions, and it was both pretty and comfortable. I think the DAO trigger is do-able...makes me focus on the fundamentals, and it's not that different than the DAO 1st shot of my P229R.
Anyway, before I go buy that P290 enhanced I figured I'd gather the input here. I've read through the threads, but some are so old they're dealing with the first generation of this pistol, which I've gathered is not as nice.
Thanks in advance.
