He carried a Sig 220 on duty for about 10 years. He was part of the team that went through the selection process to find a new duty weapon. He helped write the training program and was an instructor during his departments transition from a revolvers to the Sig 220. (They now carry Glock 21s) He went through Sig's armors school. He still owns a West German P220 that has thousands of rounds through it. Needless to say he's a huge Sig fan.
He's retired now but still qualifies with his Sig P220 every year through his former department to keep his CCL. The problem is he only carries it when the weather is colder because of the size and weight of the 220. He would really like to find something that he will carry year round. He prefers to carry IWB behind is strong side hip or OWB in the same place when clothing allows.
We've tried a few different pistols. Glock 23, 30, and 26. M&P Shield, a Springfield XD9, even a Kel-Tec PF9. None of them really got his attention.
Anybody have any ideas? He's leaning toward a 9mm and I think something with a similar feel to his P220 would seal the deal. He's also a big 1911 guy but he would rather stick with something that he doesn't have to tinker with to keep reliable.
While we're on the subject what Sig would work well for me in a AIWB carry? I'm starting to think about getting rid of the G30 in favor of something with a hammer on it for safety reasons.
