As I contemplate switching to .357 Sig as EDC, I have been reviewing what could be a the "best" platform for this cartridge.
So far, I've come down to Sig P229 Legion, due to it's excessive awesomeness. But the round count gots me down. It's also a bit thick and heavy (though might still work IWB). The only other option I am considering is the Glock 31/32. But for whatever reason, I have a Glock allergy. Maybe it's because they're ugly. Maybe because I don't have enough experience with them. Anyway, typically my EDC standards are a semi-auto that can comfortably IWB, 15+ capacity (even if extended mag), and that can eat any kind of ammo "all day err day". The Glock 32 sounds like it might work since it's compact, can do 15 rnd mag, and I am guessing is reliable. However, not sure how that mag extension would work concealed.
I'm wondering, what is your idea of the best EDC .357 Sig? What should I consider? The question isn't so much: "What's the best .357 Sig for comfort," but rather: "what is the best .357 Sig platform that could reasonably be concealed in the summer."
I want to say Sig P229 Legion due to fan-boy-ness. But I am one of those "shot placement" folks and therefore round count is important, and the P229 is 12 + 1 in .357. I'm already preparing for a very statistically unlikely scenario, why not prepare for a slightly more unlikely scenario of having a fire fight involving cover which would require more rounds - I've seen videos. Further, emergency reloads while lead is being slung at you seems less than fun but I'm just guessing.
:P
