"Never seen a man leave the house for a Sig and return with a Glock unless it was multiple Glocks...and he acknowledged the fact it still wasn't a Sig".

A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Reposting this from the new gun thread so it's included in the Sig thread.

I had some scratch because I sold my Glock 22. I was offered way more than I paid for it so figured 'what the heck'. Really didn't know what I wanted and really didn't need anything but it's always fun to look.

Saw a Sig P226 for sale. $650 OBO and after talking with him agreed to $575. Police trade-in. Minor and expected wear in some places on the slide and frame but nothing to be concerned over. Beautiful G10 Piranha grips were installed. He replaced all the internals i.e. springs and firing pin. And the mags feel 'like new' stiff even though they have the normal outside wear so the springs in them seem to be GTG. He changed out the sights for fiber optic front and rear.

Came in 40S&W and he also had the 357sig barrel to go with the deal. Three 12-round mags. The 40S&W has the normal 'smiley' wear but the 357sig barrel looks to have been shot very little, no wear marks on the outside. He was a smaller stature man and said he really couldn't handle the 357sig as he has small hands. Hoping to hit the range tomorrow with my son so I'll give it a go and see what my impressions are with both loads.

Felt like $575 was a good deal for all that was included.

Fully loaded it weighs in at 39.5 ounces. I may think about adding a 9mm conversion barrel to make it a 3-n-1 platform. I'll put a little thought into it.

Well I have failed you all with the gunporn.... I have added a few (many) items to the collection again. I had the Sig Custom Works build me a custom P320.... I cannot remember exactly what I have shared on here but I am now going into a full 3rd safe and probably could start a 4th. Between my Sig addiction and adding some long guns I am thinking I am going to make a gun room with a vault door in the very near future. I also might be picking up an HK SP5L....

After very much liking the Ruger LCP Max IWB at the 4 O'clock position I made the decision to try the P365 IWB at that position as well. I was going for minimal footprint so I removed the TLR-6. This P365 is the one I converted to the X model. The IWB holster was the same company as the Max. Been carrying it for a while in this holster and it's been very comfortable. Doesn't quite disappear like the MAX does but that's to be expected as it's smaller and much lighter. But I've worn it while doing chores at the new house including up and down ladders and into the attic and such. No issues or problems and I mostly don't think about it.

So that was a successful experiment. As much as I like the Max, and I do, given the choice I'll opt for the P365X every time it's viable.

Every time I think about getting pictures up I fail. I have been very busy in the reloading room or work. I have decided against the HK and will be going with a Sig MCX-Spear when they are readily available. I also ended up with Covid in November and that created a slight set back.

Glad you're feeling better and back on the board :)

Pics when you get a chance :D

I'm still rockin the P365X as my EDC. Still have the XL and really dig it but the X seems to find it's way a lot more often right now.
