Default Conceal carry - Sig Sauer

Thinking about getting a Sig Sauer pistol who has one and do you pack it on a regular basis? Pros and cons to the pistol? I would like too get a .40 cal and as said in the title something small enough to pack from time to time. this will be my Christmas gift so I want to get it right the first time

what model are you looking at? I've never owned a sig. In general a 40 would be a nice carry pistol. Actually have some stopping power unlike a 9mm but still get a double stack mag.

I am taking my conceal carry class on Dec 4th . I agree with FastCR a .40 would be a good choice.

Every gun has a safety. Its your index finger.

But if your gun is taken from you or if a child finds your gun, you're gonna wish you had a S A F E T Y !!

I have a Sig P229 and a Sig P239. The P239 is more suited for concealed carry due to my skinny frame.

During the winter months I can carry the P229 in a shoulder holster. It is a bit bigger than the P239. I really like them both. Both are comfortable and have been very reliable, going on 15 years with the P229 and 7 with the P239.

My P229 can shoot 9mm, 357 Sig and 40 cal rounds.
My P239 only takes 357 Sig and 40 cal. I don't have the 9mm barrel and spring for it.

Good Luck with your decision.
