Which DA/SA gun would you carry?

[surferdaddy]

Sig P239 in .40 S&W or Sig P232 (prefer the stainless SL, but the aluminum frame is much lighter). For the .40 I use a 200 grain XTP at 900 FPS and for the .380 I use a 115 grain XTP at 1025 FPS (both velocities clocked from my carry guns). I am rather proud of the .380 load as it replicates a weak 9mm from a short barrel with a .380 ACP (though I use a 20 lb Wolff spring in the P232).

Wowzers; that is a screaming .380.

"The PPQsc doesn't use the same trigger as the PPQ. " Please explain (translation: WTH?)

The P99c is a P99 from the tigger guard back. Basically the front half inch or so was chopped off. Magazine are interchangeable and all the firing mechanism parts given both are AS, QA, or DAO.

PPQ M1 shares some parts and dimensions with the P99. Magazines can be interchanged and slides will fit and appear to function but i haven't seen the need to actually test them by firing. Why I think i can use a PPQ sear housing, trigger, and firing pin in a P99c. I can't bring myself to take my 2 apart to see though and need to find a guinea pig.

PPQ M2 slides interchange with M1 and I belive the firing group but not magazines. (Obviously do to the paddle vs button mag releaes).

PPQsc has completely different internals. Magazines will not interchange with anything else, the slides have a different geometry and construction, and the trigger while I have heard is good, does not have the same parts as the PPQ. The thought is Walther tried to reduce the price on the PPQsc. Instead of just making the PPQ shorter like how the P99c is compared to the P99 they chose to change it up. It does however use the same recoil assembly as a PPS M2.

I stalk the Walther forum and have posted less than a dozen times over there. Only when I had a question about my PPQ recoil spring assembly. Those guys are very knowledgeable.

How do those 200 gr .40 cal feel? I prefer 180gr over the 165gr but never have tried the 200gr.

All I want is for one single person to notice.

I haven't had any issues with them, but I have only tested them in my P239.
