I've decided that I want to dedicate myself to a Sig pistol chambered in 40 S&W for a little while and see how it works out. I'm having an extremely hard time deciding between a 226R or 229R.

The gun will be carried on duty in a Safariland 6280 or 6360 with a Surefire X300 attached. It will be carried off duty IWB most of the time.

Part of me is leaning towards the 229R due to the smaller size aiding in concealability (I want this to be my 24/7 gun). The other part of my is leaning towards the 226R for recoil management and due to the fact my old 9mm 226 is my favorite handgun.

Which one do you find more "shootable?" Which would you pick and why?

Please do not recommend other handguns. I'm sticking to one of these two.
