If you’re looking for a compact, comfortable, concealable, great shooting, reliable pistol with West German heritage, you might enjoy a SIG P6. Some “purists” claim that the fit and finish on the commercial P225 is superior to the P6, but that hasn’t been my experience.

However, the original P6 often had trouble feeding modern jacketed hollow-point rounds larger than 124-grain, so SIG updated the P6 feed ramp in 1989 to better support JHP ammo. Swapping in a P225 barrel or having the P6’s feed ramp re-profiled to the 1989 specs will fix the issue with larger JHP rounds.

Front grip-strap serrations provide a good hold on the P6. These features, coupled with its 9mm chambering, make it a very controllable handgun, and quite accurate. All the big players — Walther, SIG SAUER and Heckler & Koch — ramped up to develop a new pistol that would meet the spec.
