I've got a SIG 220.. so it's a .45 if you don't know the models. LOVE IT.. its not a CCW gun. I'm not a 9mm fan, so the 226's aren't going to be something I pick up... the 229.. that I will have, just not as a CCW.

Now Marpat has a Glock fetish and for the most part I'm not interested in Glocks. Well that was until he brought around the G30... which is a .45 sub-compact. Not only is it the right size for a CCW, it's .45 - read you won't need more than one or two hits to stop some-"thing". So lets just cut to the chase there... when I pick up a sub-compact, it will be the G30.

Now that you have my opinion - zero value for your personal choice of weapon - here are my considerations for a CCW.

Size
Reliability
Comfort
Capacity
Mag cost and availability

I really don't like the SIG's for CCW.. Most models are too large, even the compacts, in my opinion. If you haven't tried one of the sub-compact Glocks, you really should.

Some other folks here are big fans of the Kahr's too. Another sub-compact I'm looking at is the XD. Hope fully someone will pipe up about their experiences with those. You could also always post this in the CCW forum
