I absolutely love this pen but alas it is way over budget for a student like myself . <| sep |> I live in Canada . No such best buy deals and new releases are $ 80 CAD . <| sep |> You awake every morning at 2 am because I go out as is to walk the dogs <| sep |> Man that ' s tight . <| sep |> Sigs are good , but they ' re expensive totally worth it , though . Personally , I ' d recommend a P 238 . P 226 ' s are big . My work sidearm is a P 226 , and it ' s a pain in the ass to conceal . I own a P 229 in . 40 , and I ran into the same issue It ' s basically the same gun as the P 226 when I started trying to concealed carry it everywhere . The Army uses them , they ' re branded as the M 11 , and they are indeed fantastic guns , just a bit big for an everyday carry piece , in my opinion . If you know anyone who owns one , try it out with various IWB holsters and the like , to see if you can conceal it comfortably and easily . If you live somewhere you can or will open carry , however , a servicesize pistol like the P 226 is an excellent choice .
