That doesn’t look a thing like my Sig Saucer P229.
(Man, I miss my guns since I moved to Japan.)

How many decades will we have to wait for M9s to be made available for those who want them?

Honestly, almost anything is better than the god-awful M9.
The grips on it sucked and didn’t inspire confidence in solidly gripping the weapon.
I immediately hated it upon being handed one, it felt like a vcr tape in my hands.
“Oddly” a Colt 1911 felt more natural in my hands.
Weird.

I have a full sized Glock in .45, extended stainless barrel and mag extensions on the hi cap mags, gives me 15+1

Then i have a Sig P220, scary accurate but its only single stack.

What i see here is a striker fired Sig, you can change calibers easy, you can go Romeo sight, you can go 21 rounds in 9mm. I might just buy one. If i can find the hi cap mags.

Owned two (92f and 96 centurion). Decent guns, functioned well. As concealed carry, however they are bulky and heavy. There are smaller, lighter 9MM guns out there that function just as well. As a police or military sidearm they fit in well.

Do you remember??

Time Magazine, in 1986 or 87, in a TRULY STUNNING display of firearm IGNORANCE, informed the public that the US military’s then-new M-9 9mm pistol “would penetrate a TANK’S armor!”
