I looked at Sig's website and saw that they had some nice stuff... the P250 interests me but I am concerned that the interchangeable parts make it not only more complicated to a novice (although the set it and forget it mentality would probably ensue) but it might make for more potential problem points. I really like the look of the P220 Match Elite but I think that is a bit above what I need at the moment.
Can anyone recommend a 9mm in that relative price point? I'd really like something with a steel body like the P220 with the same type of contrasting black grips.
Open to any suggestions!

I have a Springfield Armory 1911 38 super which has the same hitting
power of a 357. The 38 super bullet is very fast and has a flat flight path
and hits hard.....
But as a carry and hide weapon I would say a 380 auto for about $300-350
would be small enough to tuck in side your belt under your shirt, but
still have enough mag to old about 10 rounds. Its all about what fits
for you.....
Be very careful with that carry Lic,,,,,what decision you might make in
a split second will be judged for days and weeks by 12 others, regardless
weather the shooting was justified or not...
Never show your gun as a threat, or verbally threaten someone that you
have a gun!!!! If you fear for your life, then pull and shot to kill, not
to wound.....never shot to wound. There is only one excuse and one only
to pull and shoot and that is if your life or someone else s life in your mind
is going to die if you don't. You don't have the right to interfere if a crime
goes down in front of you, again unless your life or someone else s
is threatened. Only law enforcement officers can stop a crime....we can
only be good witnesses....
Enough preaching, sorry I got carried away, I just feel its a very serious
privilege to have a carry lic and carrying a firearm for defense.
Good luck
