Probably my last pistol purchase for a while and I've read a lot of good stuff about the Sig 320. I'm not too interested in changing calibers, I shoot 9mm and that's about it.
Rather, I like the idea of changing from full sized to compact....I don't need the subcompact as another carry gun, I can't see anything getting any better than my Shield (with full Apex job and night sights).
I'm talking more about the out-of-the-box trigger....it was really pretty damn good on the Sig, while the M&P I played with in the LGS clearly needed to be introduced to Mr. Apex.
The Sig also felt better in my hand, but that is a very subjective observation, albeit an important one.
Sig quality is also pretty good, but then I've never had any problems with my Smiths, even my older 39s and 59s. My poly Smiths (a SW990 and SD9VE) have behaved flawlessly and I can't say enough good stuff about the Shield.
Just wondering if anyone has any hands-on experience with the two guns and would like to comment on one versus the other.
While the Sig is more expensive ($585 without any haggling, which I can do with these guys) it comes with a total of three "frames" as in the plastic part the working "innards" fit in to (one full sized and two compact) and as I think they are going for about $50 each, the actual gun price is around $485.
I'm going to be trading a couple of guns as well....I find my 908 S&W sitting in the safe as it was replaced by my Shield (and frankly a Star UltraStar that's pretty amazing) and I'm also going to ditch a Star 28 PK which I don't shoot.
I'm interested in hearing folks' opinions.
