What's the best Sig Gun for concealed carry? There are several. The question is more what's the best Sig Sauer pistol that suits YOUR particular tastes, preferences and so on.
They make so many individual pistol models that a person could practically feel drunk looking at all the different Sig guns that they offer.
So let's go have a quick look. Here are 6 Sig guns that are known to be excellent concealed carry guns, but cater to a specific set of needs, preferences and so on.
By now, everyone knows the Sig P365 is kind of the new standard by which concealed carry guns are judged. The half-stagger magazine brings capacity up to 10+1, 12+1 or 15+1 depending on the magazine used, and in a pistol that's basically the same size as single-stack subcompacts like the Glock 43 and S&W M&P Shield.
They're great shooters for their size, and...well... what hasn't been said by this point? There are also P365 SAS and P365XL models - the latter with a 4-inch barrel and optics-ready slide - if the standard model isn't to your liking.
Is it for everyone? Maybe not, and that's okay. There are plenty of other great Sig guns for concealed carry.
Lots of pistols have been tipped as a "Glock Killer" over the years, but the Sig P320 XCompact is one of the best arguments for a different take on the poly/striker format. It has all the bells and whistles you could ask for.
The P320 XCompact is a P320 Compact with every improvement you could ask for, including Sig Sauer's X frame, a straight trigger, night sights as standard and an optic adapter plate in case you want to mount an optic.
It's ergonomically as good as a CZ. The trigger is outstanding, in the same class as a VP9 or Walther PPQ. You can mount an optic if you want, and not if you don't. Few guns as a product have as many upsides with as few downsides.
If you wanted an old school Sig gun for concealed carry, that's the P229. It's a compact variant of the P226, with a shorter barrel/slide and grip for easier carry. Dimensionally, it's about the same size as a Glock 19, though a bit heavier due to having a metal frame.
The Sig P229 is a bit of a commitment. It's heavy compared to modern concealed carry pistols, and the DA/SA trigger takes training to master. Granted, the P229 is one of the best; it's been issued to and carried by military personnel and police for decades. Normally chambered in 9mm, but it can also be had in .40 S&W and, with a bit of searching, .357 Sig.
It's the kind of gun you can invest in and have for life, without doubt, accurate, reliable and dependable...but like any other pistol, it might not be for everyone.
