I went with the P320 Carry in 9mm. It's basically the same size as my P229, but lighter and higher capacity.

Well, it started because of 3-gun. My P229 is a .40, so stock class I only get 12 rounds. I like the .40, as I can see it hit with more energy on poppers that need a perfectly placed shot to drop with a 9mm. But even though I'm pretty good with the DA/SA, as the P229 was my first pistol and I stuck with DA/SA for a long while, I do take a tick longer with the initial DA than I do with the striker fired.

Once I realized the first shot was noticeably quicker for me, I started rethinking my carry. Like I said, I tried the VP9 and PPQ first and they didn't quite fit the bill. I still shot my P229 (and SP2022) better. Then I tried the P320 and even though I don't like the feel as much as the others, I couldn't argue with the results. I shoot that P320 very well. The group I did when the most recent dead trigger happened was 15 of 17 making one ragged hole at 10 yards, with one flyer still in the 10 ring and one slipped into the 9. I've got thousands of rounds through that P229 and I'm shooting the P320 better right off the bat.

I appreciate everyone's input. Like I said earlier, I think I'm just going to find the time to hit the outdoor range and video my shooting. If the dead trigger crops up again, I'll reach out to SIG again.

Until then, my first love stays on my belt.

Great, and they're giving these flawed guns to our troops. I like the 320 concept and wanted to like the one I had, hopefully the mil will bring the QC/QA up where it should be.

But Sig needs to get their shit together before sending these to our boys. Should let Germany make and deliver em, we all know Exeter cant make two stick guns the same.
