Bumper, If you like the P226....
But you find it some what to large for CCW, then I bet you would love the P229, Its smaller, shorter and if I remember right a small amount lighter than the P226. The P229 in .40 was my first handgun, and still my over all favorite.
If the P229 is still too large for your likes, try a P239 next. I have one in 9MM and really love that gun for CCW in the hotter seasons or when the situation calls for deep cover of the CCW. The P239 rides in a defender belly band most of the year, and is totally invisible with just normal clothes on. The P229 rides well in my Uncle Mikes Sidekick IWB, (that I modified for better gun holding, ride height and cant) but needs more cover clothes than spring/summer temperature will allow most of the time.
Incase you can’t tell I Love My SIG’s
