I've been looking for a 9mm handgun for a little while now. I have a Glock 29 10mm right now that is phenomenal. Fun to shoot, packs a big punch and will be my primary carry pistol. But it is expensive to shoot. I've been looking for a 9mm that I could practice with at the range a good amount and is also concealable under just a Tshirt in warmer weather.
The Sig p225 and Walther P99c seem to have crept to the top of my list.
It seems that the P99 AS has one of the best triggers available in a DA/SA and the ergonomics of it are really great (I've held one, but not shot it). The size makes it very concealable. Walther seems to fly under the radar but is very high quality from my research.
The P225 is a pretty thin single stack 9mm. The contour of the grip feels good in my hand even though it is thin. I took a course at the Sig Academy and used a 229 9mm which felt good but I think would be too big to conceal without heavier clothing. The P225 seems to have a proven track record and dimensionally seems to fit the bill.
I haven't had the opportunity to shoot either of feel the triggers, just fondle them in a shop. I also considered the USP Compact 9mm and the P239. However the USPc quality differences don't seem to justify the MA prices (maybe I'm wrong however). The P239 felt too thin in my hand with the stock grips and the Hogue rubber grips pinched my middle finger underneath the triggerguard, just couldn't get comfortable.
Any personal experience and opinions that could be provided on either one would be really helpful. I'm taking another course at the Sig Academy soon and I'd like to use one of my own pistols as they don't allow 10mm on their range.
