So which would you buy and why?

SIG E20229B SIGPRO 9MM 1MAG EXT GRP $399.00 SHIPS FREE

S&W SD9 9mm 4" 16RD TNS Black $367.00 SHIPS FREE

Just got an itch for a new gun that needs scratched. Really dont feel like spending too much and both of these interest me. Ive got Revolvers, Glocks, and XDs, but ive never owned a sig or a smith (semi-auto anyways).

Probably just a range, home gun with some random carry or center console time.

From the reviews I've seen, that Sig 2022 is hard to beat. Check the thread below as it sounds like Palmetto has the same gun for a few bucks less. Not taking anything away from the SD9 but that Sig sounds like it's one of the best kept secrets @ this price point right now. Sig Sauer makes an awesome weapon by the way.

On trigger alone go with the SP2022. While I have not owned an SD9, I owned its brother the SW40 and the trigger on that gun is long and stiff (enter snicker here). The SP2022 has a similar long pull in double action but single action is very short and crisp.

But look around your location for local shops, Im sure most can come within $20-$25 of those prices and you wont have to pay an FFL fee.

I would say the Sig Pro only because its more established and built like a tank.

I own both SD9 and Sig 2022. Either will do you fine, the Smith SD has a much better trigger than the Sigma . Of the two you mention I prefer the SD9, mine has been more reliable . My Sig hasn't coughed much but my SD9 not at all.

 

[badge036]

Go with the smith

 

[Colt556]

Sig because, well it's a SIG!

How do you figure?

 

[IUBrink]

Go with the Sig Pro. That S&W reminds me of a Sigma I used to own, and it's trigger was atrocious. I sold it for my 2022 and I'm loving it. The trigger is as smooth as butter and is completely predictable.

I'm glad this question came up because I've also been looking at the Sig 2022 (although I've been debating between it and the S&W M&P9c instead of the SD9) I guess my reluctance is with a $400 Sig.....Cadillac tried that once with the "Caterra"

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

While I would lean towards the SIG, it stems only from personal preference and I don't have a solid reason to state...

I think either way you will end up with a reliable firearm.

The Sig is cheaper because its a polymer gun, most of Sigs higher priced stuff is all metal. The P250 is also polymer and less expensive.

My SP2022 has been 100% in well over 200 rounds. They are even on sale at Midwest Gun for $389 for contrast and $435 for night sites. I wish I had known that before I bought mine.

I put a couple hundred more rounds through my 2022 this past weekend and it performed admirably, as expected. Buy it, run it, love it.

Put 100 more through mine today, still 100% and can hit bullseyes all day if you do your part.

 

[hf3787]

I would opt for the Sig

 

[Vince49]

My life, my choice.

I have always bought THE ONE I WANTED. That has kept me happy for most of my life. I have never given much credence to what anyone else thought about my choices.

PS: I feel the same way about such things as which wine to serve with a given meal. The correct wine for any occasion is THE WINE YOU LIKE!

 

[U.S. Patriot]

That's a tough one. I'm not a big fan of Sigs, and I have no experience with the SD9.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Save up an additional $100 and get the S&W MP9.

 

[IndyGlockMan]

Personally, I prefer the Sig over the S&W. I like the quality of Sig Sauer and they have a great track record. S&W makes great revolvers but Sig makes a better automatic. Just my opinion.

 

[shortyforty]

both are fine guns,but you could opt for the sd9 kit that comes with a light and lockbox not to mention front night sight from the factory at no additional charge
