@baldeagle, I have sent it back to Sig and they polished, lubed and installed a Short Reset Trigger which helped but they said it was the best they can do. I have heard horror stories about letting outside gunsmiths work on a Sig. How hard is it to change springs?

@austinrealtor, you are right, I do love my job most of the time and the Company has been very good to me. TAR is family owned and operated which helps but there are days of being muzzled and other mistakes which can test anyones patience.

Thanks again,

Brian

remember, the best "carry" gun is the one you have on you.

Hi Austinrealtor,

I work at The Arm's Room in League City as the Director of Firearms Training. We not only have a 15 lane indoor range but we sell, rent and work on all types of firearms including fully automatic weapons. The owner requires most employees to carry a gun openly as a deterrent effect.

I have shot the M&P Pro 9mm and liked the gun but did not care for the trigger. Your suggestion about a trigger change would probably help that.

As far as caliber, I would prefer a .40, .45 or .357 Sig as opposed to a 9mm but that brings the added muzzle flip. I shoot IDPA for fun but would like to "step up my game". I also recommend IDPA for anyone who is trying to improve shooting skills without spending a fortune.

Thanks for the feedback,

I am shopping for a new gun to carry (I am required to carry at work) and to shoot in IDPA. Currently I carry and shoot a Sig 229 in .40 caliber, which I have had since 1997. I love my Sig but not the first 10lb trigger pull so I shot a Glock 21 which is a .45 and did quite well with it but being a polymer gun its recoil is noticable after a 100 rounds or so. I have thought about a 9mm but prefer a larger caliber to carry and I am adamant about shooting my "carry" gun. I shot an XDM45 and did better with it than the Glock but has fewer holster options. I may go to a 1911 but I am not used to flipping off safetys and they are more prone to malfunctions than plastic guns (IMHO). I am open for suggestions.
