WHICH ONE >_< I'm leaning towards a 9mm for an in between a .45 1911 and a walther pps. Maybe used for carry with the proper attire.
Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P229 - 9mm or .40?

.357 SIG, and then you can invest in a .40 barrel/slide (the magazine and slide is the same for .357 SIG, but the sights are off), and a 9MM barrel and magazines. You can't go up in caliber from a dedicated 9MM slide, but you can go down from the .40/.357 SIG.
That is a good idea. Although I am having trouble locating an elite dark in .40 or .357 sig. Any ideas?
I wouldn't piss about looking for flavor of the month SIGs right now. Were it me, I'd just jump into a decent CPO P229, even a pre-rail, and worry about designer ones later.
I have pistols in both calibers. I have a Sig P226 in 9mm and love it. I feel like the 9mm is much easier to control and cheaper to shoot (granted its nearly impossible to find now). If I had to go bigger I would go 357 sig. Either way sig makes a mean handgun no matter the caliber. Just my opinion
I have been looking at a P229 to replace the stolen 45 I had. I won't go 9mm right now as you can not get ammo right now around here. The stores have pretty sold out of everything too so selection is not the greatest. At least I see Sig shipping pistols to my area regulalrly. Keep checking and you will find what you are looking for.
I agree with the .357/ .40 The 357 SIG is an awesome round albeit a bit expensive. I sold my 229 elite in 40 simply because it was too heavy to carry. If you're going to get a carry gun I would get a SAS. Or if you decide on a 9mm then go with an M11A1. I'm not a fan of the rails on SIGs.
I carry an M11 for work and it rides without issue, I did however switch to 1911 commander bobtail as my personal carry piece.
