Well, I left the fun show Saturday not with the SigPro I meant to pick up, but with a 2nd Gen G19.
I really meant to get a DA/SA gun, but there were no good deals on ones with night sights; after a bit of soul searching (which isn't easy in the middle of a gun show, when you're running out of time before the 5 month old needs to get home for her nap), I decided that, with the baby and the budget she comes with (financial & temporal), I'm not really in a good place to devote time or money to becoming proficient with a double action pistol. And I did much better with the Glock I rented the other day than with the P226.
So, I found a good deal on a barely used looking 19 with pretty bright night sights. Doesn't even have any holster wear, really. I've got the side panels taped up to give my uber-sweaty hands some purchase, and I'll be ordering a new RSA (this one doesn't quite pass the vertical test) and an extended mag release today; I can reach the stock one, but can't get enough leverage to drop the mag without shifting my grip. There's no difference between generations 2 and 3 with those parts, right?
