If you can you should try out different pistols to see which YOU are comfortable with BEFORE you make a purchase. It may be the case that you like the feel of and can shoot/handle both of those well but?

Just curious, why those two?

because they are both comfortable and I like the way they handle

I would like a P220, and a 226 as well, a sig for all occasions

I wish I could justify something like that. That could make for some good times.

It can never be too cold and too wet. As a hiker, I have found this is the only kind of weather that drives the tourists, soccer-moms with obnoxious kids, hoopleheads, and bugs out of the woods ha ha. Anyway, where do you live in California? I moved away in 1990. Back then, no one called it Cali. Being into firearms and living there is a challenge.

If you don't mind me asking, is there a substantial price difference? How did you find a SIG 228? I have 3 SIGs and they are all flawless and accurate. I was surprised by how accurate the 239 9x19mm is.

The HK P30L is 1045$ and the SIGs run from 920-1100..
I get around 100-150 dollars off each because I am military.. if I buy on base they are also Tax free.. I agree the SIGs are all amazing. They fire perfectly, they are the right weight, size and shape for my hand...
The thing about the P30L is it's ambidextrous.. and I like that...
