I am in the market for a 9mm for concealed carry. I had decided on the Glock 19 but now I am unsure. I was introduced to a Sig P245 and I love it. Now I am considering the 9mm version (P229). Here are a few questions that I have. I hope to hear from somebody who has carried either or both of them.
1. Will the P229 hold up to harsh environments (salt air) as well as the Glock 19? Very important!!
2. Will the sig be as reliable in a concealed carry environment. (always the possibility of getting bumped into something, getting wet, etc.......)
3. Is the P229 as concealable as the 19?
4. There is quite a bit of difference in the price of the two. What makes the P229 so much more expensive?
5. Other than the obvious, what advantages are there to the Sig's decocker vs. no safety with the Glock?
