I bought a .40S&W Full size Sig Sauer P226 Legion..I know some don't like the .40, but I do...snappy little round..
 
Love the handgun too...
 
If you like Sig, have a look at the P226 Legions..

P226 is a little big for EDC.  Great duty weapon for LEO, but bad for CCW.  It would be fine for open carry though that isn't my cup of tea. ;)

That's what I carry. So good in the hand. 
 
Been waiting for Springfield Armory to finally announce the XD-S Mod 2 in 9mm since they announced the .45acp a few months ago. With a full sized metal framed handgun you're not going to notice a difference between .40 and 9mm. I always laugh when I hear 9mm +p talk or +p+ talk. Obviously they got the wrong caliber. 
 
Where the pictures at, OP? You can't create a gun thread about a new gun without pictures.

Yes it does. Not really a fan of silly labels to show the same thing as what everyone else would have, but I don’t really care enough to let it bother me, lol.

If you like 40 you should look into 10mm. Granted the P220 is single stack, but you can run some hot ammo in it.

I just wanted a caliber I didn't have yet..
 
For those who asked if this was my EDC (every day carry for those who don't know), no it's not...It's not that it's big (I carry a full size Smith and Wesson E-Series 1911TA as an EDC and I don't print), it's just a range gun...solid...great action (I got the SA/DA model..they come in SA only, but my 1911 is already that)....smooth slide...the thing is a beast..
 
I might look into a 10mm...but not for a few months...Just started working again a month (or is it two now?) or so ago...need to save up SOME money and still buy a PC (trying to wait for Threadripper 2..may not make it)

Picked up a Beretta 92FS Inox last weekend myself.    Range gun.
 
I've looked at the Sigs.   Might go for a 229 or a 320myself.

EDC is a CZ P07.

I hate that as well man. Edit: I also hate the grip safety. Yes I know 1911s have them but with a striker fired gun it is weird. I dont know if I recall, but does the gun also not fire without a mag inserted into it as another safety feature? Its so people who are idiots when they clean their firearms right?

Are those the ghost guns that shoot a 30 caliber magazine clip in 1 second?  *sarcasm*
Saw a guy at the range the other day with a "silenced" AR "pistol" chambered in 9mm (same size rifle but pistol caliber). And when I say "silenced", I mean actually silenced, not suppressed. You don't even need hearing protection to shoot it. Makes a cute little sound.

First thing I do is drop the mag, rack the slide a few times. But then again, that's just common sense. It's missing from many peoples' brains.

Nothing wrong with 9mm +p or +p+. It has enough stopping power for the FBI to switch to it over the .40 caliber.

Do your friends mess with you by saying "you military guys need that on your weapons". 
They should of just put "grip zone" on a paper sleeve that went over the grip.

No, most military guys and their friends just want to shoot, and don’t look at that much, lol.

I am pretty sure the XD will still fire with the mag out. I will try it dry sometime.
