Imported by Century Arms International.   :D

Nice military sidearm, I'm sure it will serve you well just like it did the former owners.   :aok 

Are they pricey?

Enjoy.

No but I carried a P220 for many years. The SIG never choked on any kind of ammo, which is the first thing I look for in a carry gun. If I remember right the 226 is the USN Seals issue piece. Whats that tell you?
Yes, your on "Ignore"

I dont doubt the Sig name and my dad carries a 232. Just curious as to this specific model. And in particular im looking at the Equinox model. Which is .40 S&W.

All great guns.  IMO, the Walter is going to be the easiest to conceal, just because of it's width.  That being said, I conceal my Glock 19 quite a bit, even in the summer (btw, I'm 5'11, 165, not a lot of fat to hide it under).  I can't speak for the XDm though, never held one, but I've heard those handguns are good.  For me, I choose the 9mm because it's cheaper to shoot, so I can more training in for my money.

Admittedly, I didn't like the look of the Springfield.  I've grown to tolerate, hell, even like the look.  :D  I can't blame anyone for choosing the Springfield, but it would be hard to ever convince me to give up my Glock.  I almost bought a PPS when looking for a CC gun, ended up choosing a Kahr (wish I had gone with the Walther or a Glock 26).
