Tough. I like the older Sig P226’s but, I think the HK USPc 9mm fit me best. Never got to fit a 229.
I’ve kicked myself in the ass a few for trading off the HK.
AR for sure. I feel most who have an AR have more than one. While, there may be fewer listed as being manufactured, are we not considering frankenbuilds that originated as a lower both cloth complete or not?
Painful. I too had one along with a nice Yugo underfolder. Traded both and a lot more for a motorcycle. With current value, i look like I’ve been robbed.
Yeah. I have one and, not fond of it. I think I’m not into striker fired pistols. I’ve owned Glocks with similar dissatisfaction.
My vote is Sig P226 or 229.
While I respect your opinion, it’s still just speculation. If he can afford to toss that kind of money out for such, there are very few things leftover to stop him from having an FFL. Does he have one? I don’t know but, I also do not know if he doesn’t.
