The SIG I probably should have bought but didn't

I got a X-carry 320 which is basically the military M18 with no safety, the X-frame module, and the straight faced trigger. All the features I did not like on the M18. It also came with (3) of the 17-shot mags. *Marked Italy, no doubt in my mind made by Mecgar for SIG.

The Reeder belt slide covers the trigger and does wonders for comfortable OWB carry.

It's a fine gun almost exactly the same size as a Glock 19 (never a wrong choice - cliché'). It seems fatter than I thought but is not really by measuring. The ergonomics for me, with smaller hands, are perfect, as is the trigger action. However, like the Glock, it is a combat handgun cut down to a smaller size. It's not a little gun.

I cannot get out of my mind this other SIG gun the dealer forced into my hand, the 320 X-Compact. It's just a small amount shorter (0.3") and shorter grip module (15-rnds. not 17) but what a Goldilocks gun. It's just right in the hand. I wish I had never handled it. It might be worth your look for a CCW rig. Take note the X-carry and Compact are the same price, but some only come with (2) mags not (3) and the mags are around $50 out the door.

Both great "normal" size CCW guns, the 365 is teeny in comparison and still holds 12 rnds. But it's made to carry more and shoot less compared to the gigger chassis guns. Barrels are conventional rifling too, not polygonal, so more lead bullet friendly.

I still like the Beretta 92X too, and while I cannot afford it right now, I still have it on my list. My old M92A1 is still good. I also have a M96FS that I might try to get a more X-gun feel from, by installing extra thin G10 grips and the Wilson short trigger. That might be a good in-between diversion.

Speaking of SIGs (and other) WB,

... the new Sig 322 looks to me like an extraordinary 22LR auto... if you can find one at the moment...
Just ordered a HK45T, a Girsan 1911 'Hunter' 6in. 10mm, and a little Girsan 3.4 in. 1911 .45...
I figure if they totally destroy the dollar, I'll buy some "durable goods" first !!

I’ve done better with good guns than gold/silver.

GROUPS WITH BULLETS THAN WITH COINS.

I have a bunch of coins, really harder to sell than you'd

think. At least for fair money. The middle man wants a BIG cut. I did basically trade a $20 gold piece for a 1903 Bisley Colt in .32 WCF! The old saying is still true. It took some crafty looking and swapping but I did it, $1650. That was a year or two ago. A good re-blue but all matching. Already I've made way more than the coin ever would.

if the SHTF those guns you have will be worth their weight

in gold. Many things you can do with the guns that you can't with a gold coin. If hoodlums are trying to break into your house to steal your food, a gold coin probably won't stop them, whereas half an ounce of lead will.

You know I still have a G21/20 and 30s I’m not selling

The G21 is custom and will shoot 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, .45 ACP and .45 Super/.460 Rowland. NO other firearm I know of can do that! Plus there are another half dozen I could adapt it to still!

The 30s is bone stock and I alternate between it and the Kahr PM45 and P380 as the situation mandates. Those are my CCW autos.

Nothing wrong with Glocks to me. I do tend to pull left with all G-guns unless I stay practiced. The SIG claims the flat front trigger helps. I’ll be testing that theory.

THREE SIMPLE WORDS: NO SAFETY TRIGGER

they are simple. They have no character, no class, but they work everytime. Perfect gun for cops or military who don't require pin point accuracy. They just require it to go bang. I don't carry one as I am so used to carrying either my PD or a Colt lightweight Commander.

Looks good WB
