This gun field strips just like your trusty However, the differences between are essentially just color and grip variations. The most positive aspect of the P it is one sweet shooter. Since owning it I have put over 2, rounds of ammo through my P I can tell you this, though: I have had only a single-digit number of malfunctions and those were very early on. Most ultra-compact. This makes the difficult to acquire quickly, and difficult to shoot well at distance.
Not so with the P Now, compared to the Nighthawk Custom I carry on a daily basis now, the Sig is pretty rough. Mine comes in at a little over 6 lbs.
This is an excellent trigger for an ultra-compact, and a better trigger than those on some full-size autos. The is famous for its straight-to-the-rear pull. On the other hand… this gun definitely leaves your pinky finger dangling. I know Ryan hates that, while I am willing to live with it under the right circumstances, so take it for what it is.
The reason most people choose exceedingly small handguns is, well, the fact that they are exceedingly small. I have already addressed the ergonomics of the safety. The slide release is slightly extended and easily operates the slide under the light. The magazine release is well placed and appropriately sized. No complaints there.
The small. This is one area where the P shines above the competition. Compare this to a maximum width of 0. The larger grip surface of this gun is very welcome, even at the cost of maybe making it slightly less concealable. Next, the weight. Well…I take that back. My HD model weighs in around 20 ounces, about five ounces heavier than the standard, aluminum-framed Ps. Again, everything is a compromise and the additional weight might make this ever-so-slightly harder to carry.
As I mentioned in the opening I have some mixed feelings about the P On the one hand, the safety lever is too small and hard to disengage. The short grip leaves your pinky dangling and can pinch the crap out of your hand if you try for a speed reload. The P is fairly petite in comparison to larger-caliber offerings, and small compared to some.
The size makes it an excellent choice for concealment, but also means it can be difficult to hold without having fingers dangling off the bottom. Enter the extended magazine that increases the grip length and capacity by one round.
I have small hands, so I can hold the gun well with the flush magazine. However, with the extended magazine, I always hold it better. I would consider a longer magazine so it would fit those with larger hands better my boyfriend but still maintain the overall small size that makes it a great concealed handgun. Nothing sucks more than being unable to fit your fingers and grip to the grooves properly, and as a result, you are unable to properly hold the gun.
It came to me lubed with the factory stuff in all the right places. I loaded all the magazines to feel the difference between the flush and extended-grip magazines. I like to pop in the flush magazine, chamber the first round, and send it down range to a target at five yards. My first shot hit right where I aimed and I learned that the sights were perfect for my left-eye-dominant self, so no adjustments were needed there.
I proceeded to send more down range and began to get more comfortable with the gun, but my groupings got progressively worse. Not because of the gun itself, but simply user error. My finger was wrapping too far around the trigger and causing the gun to shift. Due to the size, I had to conscientiously remind myself to only use the tip of my finger and not relax, letting my finger wrap further over the trigger.
I adjusted my hold on the gun and began shooting again. I immediately began hitting the target where I was aiming. Due to the fact that the SIG Sauer is an almost exclusively metal gun with a negligible amount of plastic, each shooting session requires cleaning immediately afterward.
I neglected to clean the gun once after shooting and due to the humidity levels outside, plus the gun being stored in its case in the garage, some surface rust began accumulating on the sights. Fortunately, nothing happened to the actual frame and it was just the sights.
Overall, I love this gun. It fits my hand well, shoots where I aim unless I pull the trigger with too much finger. The only con that I can think of is the only way for me to fully fit my pinky around the frame is if I am using the extended magazine.
I also know people with much larger hands than I, who have difficulty fitting their hands properly around the frame because it is so small.
Their hands just swallow it up. If you are a newbie like myself with small hands, I highly recommend at least trying this one if available to rent at your local gun range.
Rachel is still a novice to firearms and shooting after being first introduced seven years ago by a family friend. As a result, she is still learning which guns she likes the most but definitely leans towards rifles such as the AR, AK with wooden stock, and style pistols, and the super fun Thompson with drum magazines.
Rachel understands the challenge of finding firearms that are easily managed with small hands and is quickly becoming more specialized in helping others with the same issue.
Nice review Thank you. When I first started looking at pistols, my focus wasbself-defense. I got the 9mm pitch, as in anything less was a waste of time and money. Folks get pretty passionate about this issue and as a newbie, I was almost scared to look at anything else. Over the next several months I tried almost every 9mm in my price range. While l could manage them, often that was all I could do.
To make things,even more difficult, many were absolutely gorgeous to look at. That was the day I had my ah-ha moment. The gun fit me perfectly. My speed and accuracy improved with the very 1st magazine. I feel no need to apologize for the smaller caliber or size. This gun fits me, has improved my accuracy, speed, and confidence. It also made me realize that the best gun is the one that does all those things, because they are what makes shooting fun.
Had an LC9 and the feel of the grip and the but of the recoil were unpleasant. But I wanted a true pocket pistol but was shocked at the prices in my LCS. At the range it ate anything and everything, was more accurate than I am and it is now pulling dual role as my EDC with my Shield. I love it. Although initially afraid of the recoil, she handled it beautifully, continuing on thru 2 mags without pausing.
Important that she like it and not be afraid of it for self defence. Thanx Sig, great job. I carry my p and a front pocket holster. Thought this was a isolated problem with my gun. Magazine dislodged. The P has big problems. So many people are having the same problem and Sig has not accepted open responsiblity for the flaw and issued a recall. People send the pistol in and have it returned with the same problem unsolved from the various web sites, like YouTube, that I have visited.
Very, very disappointed in Sig. I called them and they told me to send it in if I think there is a problem, like it was the first complain they had.
Not good at all. I just happened on this review while searching for the Sig P Several days ago my husband and I went shooting. Purposely so I could rent the Sig P I too have small hands and short fingers. After I got done shooting, I knew without a doubt that this is the gun for me.
I found the P to be fairly easy to rack. I know as rental it has had many rounds shot through it and would be easier to rack than a new gun. So just to be safe we went to a gun store to see just how easy a new gun would be to rack. Your review was very helpful to me. I have my CCW but am still very much a newbie!
I have three p pistols and I have large muscular hands. I wanted as I can draw it fast from my front pants pocket while in its holster. Short range accuracy excellent as soon as it clears my pants. The essence for self defense is thus speed to deplore a hitting round than stops the attacker. My bed side gun is full sized glock.
Since the P only has a barrel length of only 2. When you are considering safety, remember that this is a small Included on the P is a manual safety.
Many pocket pistols are not only temperamental, they are also unforgiving with a tight tolerance and not a lot of room for mistakes. The P does not have the same issue as it is not easy to get the gun to malfunction. Some smaller pistols with a really petite barrel can have a surprising muzzle flip even more so than a large caliber gun. The P is equipped with a very light recoil which makes it aim easily as well as getting your shots on target easily.
It only comes with a decent quality case made of plastic and a single six round magazine although some modes also come with a laser sight. There are some laser sights that you can purchase just for this gun made by several manufacturers.
You can also purchase extra magazines, but keep in mind that they are a little pricey. The one area that has a lot of great options is the grips. Since they are removable, you have some versatility in that area. You can also purchase different sights for beyond the laser sights, although the sights that it comes with work very well, so you may not have any interest in upgrading them. It does work well with any type of ammunition which is a great feature since other pocket pistols tend to be picky.
If you want a gun that is small and concealable, the P is a good choice. Click here to check the current sale price. Hey everyone I'm Chris.
