Hey guys,
Just bought my first handgun, pretty excited. Haven't yet fired it, but definitely looking forward to it. It's a .40 Sig P229 with night sights, looking forward to your comments. The color combo is definitely unique, and I waited a long time to find exactly what I was looking for.
I was sold on the Springfield XD, but my dad did the right thing and talked me out of it. He's a 1911-guy, former sniper, etc so the polymer frame didn't really do it for him. Glad I took the advice and got a Sig!
Post up what you guys have

Great choice. I carry a 226 but prefer the 229. Unique color combo but looks good.

Congrats on the first gun!
Although I don't follow you with your dad making the right decision to talk you out of a polymer framed gun....
If anything I would say the xd is closer to a 1911 than what you purchased.
Nothing wrong with polymer framed guns at all, they've proved themselves through the years... [ November 14, 2009, 12:55 AM: Message edited by: 90FoX ]

I've been off work for a week. Someone hit my patrol car, pretty sure it's totaled. I'm feeling the pain now

Sounds good to me, give me a couple weeks to heal up. I usually go on Sundays but have been shooting my 10/22 a lot more lately!!! Cheap to shoot.
I just bought a Sig P238 w/night sights and another AR15 upper w/extras. A package deal presented itself that I just could not pass up
I am going to buy another lower, for my new upper. With prices leveling out, this will be a complete rifle built for a tad over $600!!!

Nice man, i am going to convert my AR into an M4 clone and take the big scope off it and put an aimpoint on it. I don't need it for long distance anymore now that i have the 308.

Gotta love Sigs! I got a P226 and when I was shopping around I shot the Glock and XD all in .40 cal and nothing shot as smooth as the Sig. Definitely a great choice!
I just picked up a Mossberg shotty that I need to let off some rounds with soon!

If it was one of the all white cars with busted out back windows, rear smashed up, and wood chunks in the bumper, that's it. only had 50k miles
