I have shot many Sigs. They are excellent pistols. The only Sig I have extensive experience with is the P220. It is a very nice .45 that would work well for duty/defense purposes.
I don't care the the DA/SA setup. If I bought another Sig it would be DAO.

I own a SigPro 2022 TT in 9mmwith night sights. I paid $515 shipped for it. The SigPros are alot cheaper then the classic P line. I prefer my 2022 over my buddies' 226 and 229.
Your other option is to find a Sig CPO (certified pre-owned). You can find many of them over at the Sig Forum in the Classifieds. There are several dealers over there including Jerry @ Ordnance Outsellers and Steve @SCPFirearms. These are great guys to deal with.

I own several and I think now CPO is the way to go... (price hikes).
If you like single stacks there are a ton of P6's (225's), floating around for around 399. These are German police trade-ins and while they have holster wear (some more than others), the internals are good from what I seen. The one thing that might bother you is the import marking's - looks like a monkey did it. Still a good price though. The CPO's will be in better shape but run higher... 500ish, but you also get the sig 1 yr warranty if that gives you peace of mind...
As far as preference... that's tough. P220ST (.45) is awesome. but I also like the 228's, 225, 226.
utarch00 gave you good advice where to find one and read up on them....
Good luck-

I have three. A 220 carry two tone with Nills, 229R in 357 sig and a 228 west german.
I love them to death. Nothing can compare to the quality of a Sig.
I recommend buying a CPO or certified pre owned. I have a guy that I do business with "clubster" on the Sig forum that has the best prices. 226 40's and 9's are 500 shipped and the 220 carry models are 550 shipped.
I have his contact info PM me if your interested.

I have owned two Sigs, a P226 and a P239 but they were DA/SA trigger but great shooting pistols, built for extreme conditions (combat) Homeland Security ordered 65,000 Sigs in diffenent models.
P226DAK, P229DAK, P239DAK. I can't wait to get my hands on a P229DAK. Dried fired a P220 the other day and feel in love with the DAK trigger. I'm saving my money for one, they're in the $700 range. Check this article out;

I have a "fair" collection of Sig's....
Try http://www.rainierarms.com/ for CPO's. He is a great guy to do business with.

Can't afford any Sigs for myself but my father has a few, the newest is a 229R DAK. I shot it for the first time a couple weeks ago and i have to say i prefer the DAK trigger to the traditional DA/SA. Make sure you try one out before buying, i would definitely recommend the DAK, it feels like the slickest DA revolver you've ever shot.

WHY should I get a sig? I just don't like the way they look. Nothing draws them....nor H&Ks. So why should I consider buying a sig sauer for a carry weapon or any other reason?
Beauty in the eye of the beholder...READ THIS ARTICLE:
"Reliable and deadly accurate, it is the handgun of choice for the FBI, the DEA and the Secret Service to name a few; and it has just been awarded contracts from the Coast Guard and Homeland Security. Law enforcement's baby: the SIG SAUER P229. "

I've read that on their site. Not too big on 9mm so I'd get the 40. I was looking at them yesterday at the store. The "compact" doesn't look much smaller then the fullsize.

I will say that if I get a Sig I'll be getting the DAK. I like everything about my M&P trigger and that on READS to be very similar.
tstrenusous10,
I just had the opportunity to shoot a 229DAK a couple weeks ago. While i did like the trigger a lot, its definitely not very much like the M&P's trigger. WHere the M&P has a lot of light takeup before the break the DAK feels much more like a slick revolver, I assume because the trigger is fully retracting and releasing the hammer during the stroke. I loved the way it felt, really smooth and light, but its night and day different in feel compared to M&P. The DAK is much better than SIG's traditional DA/SA IMHO. Just my $.02
If i ever had enough cash to buy a SIG it'd be one of their 1911GSR models, the traditional pistols just don't feel right to me, a little chunky. Maybe my M&P is spoiling me 8)

I should have said it differently. I like the DAK because its 7lbs and is not a traditional DA/SA. I had a 686 before and either fired it single or double action.

Don't get me wrong, I love my .229, but it is a bit tough to carry concealed as it is heavy and bulky...
