Good afternoon, all.
My wife has a P229 SCT 9mm and we are both quite fond of it. I have been a fan of the 9mm and .45 since I fired my first P-38 and Colt 1911. For a couple of reasons, however, I've been pondering giving the .40/.357 a go. I'm fairly well convinced I want the P229 platform as it has the beef I think a handgun needs to handle the .40/.357 pressures.
At the risk of sounding a bit of a snob, I'd prefer something with a bit more jazz than a base P229, and please forgive me, I just can't stand the E2 grips. Used, CPO, new is not an issue. If it's a good deal, and the firearm is in good shape, then it's, well...all good.
With all that said, what might you folks opine as a model I should look for? Elite Dark, Scorpion, a model I'm not familiar with? lol
Thank you all very much, and have a great day!
