which to me just can't be beat as it literally can be carried 365 days/year. It's not as easy to shoot as some larger guns, but plenty accurate to be useful in 99% of self defense scenarios. It's much better to have something than nothing is my philosophy.
I also have a P226 Stainless that is AMAZING to shoot and is the gun I usually teach newbies with.
As much as I love gear, more and more I'm into just having one handgun and using it all the time for the most comfort and familiarity should it ever really be needed. Ultimately it's main purpose in defense would be to get me to my rifle, which is just so much more effective

Last month, I finally decided to pull the trigger - literally and metaphorically , on the SIG Sauer P210 Carry as my 9mm duty firearm, small enough to carry concealed in comfort (4.1" barrel), but still large enough and ergonomic to shoot with familiarity...

Just for those curious, and not already fully informed........ ...
I've always felt the same way....
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-00:09
and, despite having an eternal craving, couldn't justify getting the P210 Target for myself simply because I truly had zero application for it outside of having fun at the range. I wasn't going to use it for home defense either. When they finally introduc...

or I'm moving to Florida .... Anyway, I'll be visiting Florida for the first time in December, so I'll get my first impression of it soon enough . Cheers, Filip
I lived in South Florida for 9 1/2 years.

While the summers can be oppressive I got used to them; being close to the water helped, of course. Aside from general wanderlust, the reason I left was to take a new job (might be moving again in the next 6 months, ha). I’d be interested in hearing what ...
Thanks!

It will be very interesting to me to see what my impression and feeling is given that I've never lived anywhere outside of Southern California. Fortunately, my brother is definitively committed to living in Florida long-term so I'll have him there for the...
Might be a few spots for you to ply your craft.
By: RabidManatee : October 17th, 2022-21:14
These come to mind: Palm Beach Manalapan Jupiter Jupiter Island West Palm Beach Naples These are spots I have a little familiarity with. Numbers 1, 2, and 4 are lower key than Miami but the demographic you seek can be found there. Good luck!
Cheers!

Have a look at what custom 1911 builder Jason Burton (Heirloom Precision) makes of those!!
=)))
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-20:07
Personally, I believe that he is the best classic Colt/Springfield 1911 builder in the world. It's already been several months since I asked him to get on his build-slot list, and I honestly don't expect to get a response for at least another year or two ...

Now, that's truly impressive performance! This is the best online review of the P210 Carry that I've seen, and funnily enough, the reviewer (James Reeves) experienced the same recoil spring issue as I ended up having myself. There's no question this gun i...
Thanks! I sincerely appreciate your sentiments....
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-21:00
And agree with your chain of thought regarding the P210. If you haven't already seen these Firearm Blog TV videos on both versions of the gun I recommend viewing them, they are both entertaining and highly informative!....

They are all excellent firearms, my brother just bought himself a new P320 as his primary concealed carry gun. I had previously shot a P320 myself and totally loved it, it's not quite as refined as a 210, but the mechanics of it is top-notch SIG. I have n...
That was the case....

for me as well for a very long time . Fortunately, I happen to live in a country where people have the freedom to choose either option. Cheers, Filip
That is heavy Filip

In my country and the other EU countries, we discus about the fire arms that are not forbidden in the USA. We look with big eyes. It is tru we have not much freedom here. It is no jail here, but many things are forbidden. We can make jokes about our leade...

There are a number of things that I prefer lifestyle-wise in any given EU country! Chief amongst those is the prevailing sense of social awareness, and interconnected life, but also the infrastructure and ease with moving from one city to the next, one co...

One of the Two "Rolls Royce" 9 MM handguns....

For me, the P210's only equal is the H&K P7 series. Both are at the top of the pile. However, they are totally different and equally effective at the same time. I am a P7 Man. "In a world of compromise, some men don't."

Those were rare to come across even while they still made them, and they haven't made them for about 15 years now. I've never had the privilege of even seeing one, much less firing one! Post a picture if you don't mind! Cheers, Filip
Whoa!
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-21:15
Never seen that before . Impressed, Filip

How about the P9?
By: RabidManatee : October 17th, 2022-21:56
VP70Z was also very cool but I can’t speak to the “finishing”. 3 round burst was an option on some versions as I recall..?
How does the slide feel?
By: SakeM : October 17th, 2022-21:45
I remember handling one of these (the target version) at the Sig HQ store many years ago, and the slide was like butter! It was on my wish list for a while, but now all my discretionary money is going to watches 😂
It feels even smoother....
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-21:52
than the slide on my TRP Operator! Those inside the frame rails are highly effective!! Thanks for looking, I totally get your shift toward watches, they're a more practically enjoyable treat for most . Cheers, Filip
Agreed!
By: InHavenPro : October 17th, 2022-23:17
Frankly, besides the match-grade components and machining, the purist, elegant design won me over very easily! Thanks for looking and sharing your thoughts, cheers, Filip
