Summer = SIG P239
Winter = SIG P229
I like both even more when I switch the barrel to .357SIG

Right now, I only have two forties, a Ruger KP944D and a Glock G23. The Ruger is the current favorite, I guess because I have had and shot it for between 3 and 4 years now. I'm used to it and comfortable with it. I ususally shoot at 25 yards with it (target) and tactical ranges for other practice (IDPA).
The G23 is, however, narrowing the gap. I've only had it a couple of months. I'm having trouble with getting used to the trigger, keep throwing the rounds up (shooting high). Out of a five round string, I usually get 3 within a couple of inches in the black and then throw one high and another left and/or high. I know it's me, not the gun. Believe it or not, I have improved with it, but have a ways to go. Standard range is 20 to 25 yards. Had to start at 15 yards and work my way back with it.
I like the Glock's lightness, compactness and first round trigger pull over the Ruger. Just need to put a couple of thousand more rounds through it.

Tried a lot
Tried a lot of them....
S & W 4006,
Witness .40
Sig 239 in .40
Astra A-75 in .40
H & K USP .40 compact.
In my estimate, they are all compromises for me and I have finally selected the H & K USP 40 compact. cause it has the most features that I like, but still am not 100% happy with. So for the next year or so, I will shoot the heck out of it and really decide if I like it enough to be my carry gun.

still researching
Tried the following:
S & W 4006
Witness in .40 (commander length and officers length)
Astra A-75 in .40
H & K USP .40 compact.
Settled on the H & K compact because it has the most features that I want on my CCW. Now I get to shoot the heck out of it for the next year or so until I am comfortable with it. If not, I will be on the search mode again.
