Sig P225 VS M&P9

[jeffpratt1991]

Hi everyone I am kinda new to the forum and looking for some input. I currently own a Sig P225 with a Greg derr trigger job and I enjoy the gun. But the catch is everytime I go to the range I just end up shooting my 9c the whole time because it's my carry pistol. Also it kinda bothers me that the 225 only holds 8rds vs my 10 of the M&P. I'm currently thinking about selling or trading the 225 for a FS 9 M&P. Kinda looking to see what people think about this. Thanks for the imput in advance

Haven't handled an M&P in 9mm but I do own a 225 and I think it would be easier to conceal as it is a somewhat smaller 9mm pistol and the 2 less rounds should be that much of a disadvantage.

I'm also looking into the X Grip from M&P to feel more like a full size for range use and use the small mags with the finger extension to carry. The M&P 9c is a little smaller and easier for me to conceal cause im only 5'8 and 160

Sigs are nice but they are heavy. I really like the M&P, good price point too. Also very easy to work on and there is a good market for custom parts as compared to Sig.

My one issue with the M&P design is that you have to remove the rear dovetail sights in order to gain access to the plunger and springs. Seems a bit of an oversight in the design (unlike a Glock). Otherwise the M&P is what I would recommend.

I used to own one of pretty much every model in the SIG lineup (220, 228, 229, 239, 225). I think that selling the 225 was the biggest mistake I made. It was one of the nicest shooting pistols I have ever owned.

M&P's are a dime a dozen, and they are making more each day. 225's not so much. Keep the 225.

no competition, the 225 is superior in every way. don't get the M&P unless you want a 10 round mag and a shitty trigger out of the box.

Atilla your right I just wish I could find more mags your right it's a nice gun just wish I had more mags do it was easier to shoot on a regular basis

Which one do you shoot better with? Keep that and dump the other one.

The only gun I regret selling was my P6, which is identical to a P225.

I would NOT trade that for a M&P. I owned a M&P 9c and do not regret selling it

 

[jeffpratt1991]

I own both guns but I shoot better with my 9c. It's not like in selling the P225 to get the 9c just might clean it up and put it back in the safe for a rainy day

Atilla your right I just wish I could find more mags

Here you go.....SIG Sauer P225/P6 8rd 9mm Magazine

 

[atilla]

buy those mags! when i found one in MA it was brand new and factory, but it was double that price.

 

[jeffpratt1991]

Thanks for the post on the mags I will be buying some

It depends on your preferences. I really wanted to like my Sig P6. I could never get used to the DA/SA trigger. I don't mind a long heavy trigger, I just want it to be the same every time. I sold it and I have 4 M&P's. If I ever get another Sig it will likely be a DAO model.

 

[jeffpratt1991]

Eisenhowe that's how I kinda feel I wanna like it but i just can't. But I also bought a sig 250 in .45 compact and hated it.
