Default Which Of These Would You Buy?

Looking to get a small .40 cal. The shop near me has the three that are in the poll. So which would you get? I kinda liked the S&w myself.

Thanks.


Edit: The darn poll never came up.

The three choices are the S&W M&P 40 compact, the Walther PPS 40 or the Sig P238 40.

I have almost always liked Walther, but out of those three I would choose the Sig. Great quality and dependability.

I've owned and shot many handguns. Several of them 40 cal. I cant find any small .40 that I like better than my Glock 27. You did say small. The Kahr PM40 gets great reviews, but I cant speak from experience. If your looking for small, concealed carry, look at the Kahr. I still don't think it will beat the Glock though, especially when you price shop. Same thing for the other models you mentioned. The Sig would be a close second. Just my opinion, but I think they are too expensive and I've never been a big fan of the double action first shot, single for the rest. I like a consistent pull. Their double action only could be better, but I would still love to have one.

The M&P and Sig are good choices - but you should add the Glock 27 for your consideration! You may be able to get a work related discount on any of these three. Check with the Glock LE distributor for great pricing.

There is no better gun for the money than the Glock - but I don't care for them for concealed carry due to their trigger design.

The Sig 238 is a sweet shooting .40 - and you can shoot .357 Sig by just buying a barrel. I have a box of 357 Sig but thanks to my Jeep, I can't seem to find the money for the barrel!

Can't get Glock's in MA unless they're used. And I believe the interchangeable Sig barrel is banned too. I love this state.
