if someone in a platter handed me a full size MP9 and a Sig P226 for duty use, I think I would pick the MP9...

I will tell you why.

I have seen one sig carried as a duty gun that had slight surface rust on the grip area. that's a nogo for me. I will take the polymer slide and the melonite slide compared to all nitron finish.

I'm curious how it had surface rust in the grip area since it's an alloy frame.

I just went through the same thing and decided on the Sig. The by the time you add the Apex trigger and sear kit to the M&P VTAC you're at $800. For $850 I chose a Sig Mk25. I don't care about the stupid anchor or "SEAL gun" hype, but for the price it's a nice gun. When you factor in the Sig comes with 3 mags instead of 2 like the M&P, there's a $25 difference.

Really??....Since the frames on the Sig's are aluminum I very much doubt it was rusting. A grip screw perhaps, but not likely the frame itself.

I've also not seen a polymer slide on either the Sig or S&W.

The Sigs are great guns. I carry a 229 daily because it is issued to me, but given the choice I'd go with the M&P. There's no reason in today's day and age why we should have to put up with a DA/SA trigger when there are so many alternatives. The Sig DAK trigger is somewhat better but the M&P with the Apex upgrade is a huge improvement.

i have the sig 229 DAK in .40 and its one of the best firearms I've ever owned, the recoil is great, and the weight is good i carry it every as my ccw gun.

Re: Sig or M&P

had two sigs and an M&P. Still have the M&P and sold both of the Sigs. You decide.

Traded for my first M&P a few months back and really enjoy it. I eventually decided that I did not like the DA/SA of a sig. Well made, very accurate, just not the action I want. Still have the M&P and traded the sigs.

Re: Sig or M&P

I have M&P's in 9mm, .45, and I just picked up one in .357 sig. I plan on picking up a .40 bbl as I have seen them for @ $70-$80.
I have picked all mine up used and I have not paid more then $400 for any of them! I have noticed that the trigger on my last one is not as nice as the others. I think it just needs used some, but I may try an APEX sear.
