My wife and I both recently got into the carry world, we had a post http://sigtalk.com/guns/152410-new-ltc-looking-carry.html in which we received the usual "take classes", ect...
Well, she now has her first CCW, and I am still hunting. I was pretty well settled on starting with a 320 compact, which would be a nice compromise between a manageble CCW and range gun for both of us.
We both liked the way it fired (smooth/short trigger and easy to handle)and it concealed pretty decently on me. Unfortunately there aren't any around. I can put 20% down on one from Exeter and wait till they get some in. On the other hand I was also eyeing the P239, which I can get now. I havent had the chance to fire the 239 though.
I liked the feel and weight of it, it is an all metal gun and DA/SA as opposed to striker. The closest thing I fired to it was the 229, I thought the first pull was a little much but I still fired it fine and the follow up shots were quite nice. I probably would do better with the first shot if I was quicker with my trigger pull but I try to be slow and smooth.
My other option is getting something in the meantime and going on the list for the 320. This would give me a chance to scoop up something small like the LC9s (which my wife just bought, or a 238/938) for a smaller option even after I get the 320.
I know you cant tell me which gun is right for me, but if anyone has any feedback, I am all ears.
As I said, I am looking for a manageable CCW that can double as a decent range gun.
