me?
Well, I'm thinking about selling my wonderful and troublefree M&P .40 fullsize because I recently purchased a CPO SIG P229R .40 and also bought a 9mm conversion barrel for it. So essentially, I have 3 guns.
I only want to keep one gun and I like that I have the cheaper 9mm option available for the SIG, but the M&P has been so great. Never had a hitch, ever! Even with reloads.
I have over 1400 rounds through the M&P and about 400 rounds of .40 through the SIG and 120 through the 9mm conversion barrel for it. My SIG has had 4 failure to chamber issues while shooting reloaded .40 through it already.
I don't want to feed both guns 40 as that gets way expensive. With the SIG, I can shoot 9mm all day long at the range with the conversion barrel and switch to the 40 when I get home for home defense reasons.
Here are some pros & cons I feel between the 2. I know the SIG has been around far longer and more options are available.
M&P
Pros:
(1)Reliable (2) Initial expense was low (3) got 4 mags & range bag due to promo
(5) Excellent warranty and service (6) Excellent ergonomics (7) Accurate
(8 ) Easy to do trigger job (9) Light weight (10) Simple to do complete stripdown
(11) FUN
Cons:
(1) required trigger job and some light polishing to get smooth customized action
(2) Plactic-like airsoft gun feel
SIG P229
Pros:
(1)Reliable only with factory ammo (2) Accurate and consistant w/both barrels
(3) ability to swap barrels to 9mm (4) Super smooth action out of box
(5) Compact (6) Decocker (7) 1 year warranty on CPO whereas new has implied (No) warranty
(8 ) Solid firearm feel, although heavier than M&P (9) Easily customizable due to availability
of aftermarket parts ~i.e.~ conv. barrels, and availible SIGsmiths (10) precise fitting
parts (11) Double the FUN due to 2 barrels!
Cons:
(1) Trigger job difficult to do (2) complete stripdown is bit of a chore (3) initial expense
was high
I love the feel of both guns, but really only NEED to keep one. What does someone do in a situation like this?
Would you guys kindly post why you chose your answer?
