FWIW - I've handled, but not shot, them and I thought the erognomics were quite poor - way too bulky and "chunky" feeling for me, and I have pretty good size hands. It's supposedly not as durable as regular Sigs, as it is sold with the disclaimer that it is not suitable for LEO service. Since a lot of non-LEOs shoot their personal weapons more than many LEO's will ever shoot their service pistols, I'm not encouraged by that statement (tho it'd still probably last most of us a lifetime). I'd save/spend some more $ and go with a 229 - it's similarly sized and of more proven quality, or maybe the smaller 239.
