So I was looking at 9mm guns yesterday and I really liked how the Sig 229 felt in my hand (the 239 felt good as well). Should I be so shocked that the price on this gun was $740? Or am I just not looking in the right store?

I was quite shocked at the price and it nearly made me run out of the store and right back into the comfy hands of Glock.

I sent them an email to see what they can do.
I have also been considering this:

It looks like an XD in 9mm would run about $500 - $550, close to retail for a Glock. I can get a Glock, though, for $400.
Nice though that the Sig has a $100 rebate. That still makes it $640.

This was my attempt to branch out and own other guns besides Glock. I know I would be happy with a G19, but I have shot Sigs and Berettas in the past and thought it would be nice to own something other than a Glock this time.

Funny how this all started with a gift of 350 rounds of 9mm.

I'm really thinking I just need to bite the bullet (no pun intended) and buy the Sig P229. Probably with the DAK trigger. I just wish the $100 rebate they offer for LE/Military would be a discount and not a check you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to get.

I tried the P250 while at Sportsman's this week and don't like the DAO. Plus the P250 felt really weird in my hand; I can't explain it, it just did. The P229 was the right fit.
Having said that, unless I can find an incredible deal on one I think I'll stick with the G19. It's a gun I know I like and I can get it for $300 less. I'll keep the Sig on my short list though.

I've seen 9mm guns go within hours on KSL. It takes vigilance to get a decent deal on there. :lolbang:

People at GT suggested I look at a P228, whatdya think of this one:
