I’ve been carrying this gun exclusively since it arrived for every day carry I use a Blade-Tech Nano that I’ve modified a bit for appendix carry. Back to the Sig M11-A1 and it’s performance as a carry gun. Since I know you’re going to ask, my 2nd choice would be the P229 SAS Gen 2.

The phosphate coated internals are more resistant to corrosion, and since it’s priced competitively with the rest of the Sig P229, this would actually be my first choice of the family of P229 sized guns to ride in a holster. That’s really what this gun is designed to be – a carry gun. It does not have an accessory rail, so adding a WML is out, however it does use the standard Sig P229 grip profile, meaning you can swap the grips out for Crimson Trace lasers if you want, which I highly recommend on a carry gun. The Sig M11-A1 comes standard with three 15-round magazines, and SigLite night sights. The Sig Sauer M11-A1 is a commercially available version of the military sidearm upgrading the slide to stainless steel and adding Sig’s excellent Short Reset Trigger. And each week, they’re correctly depicted using the Sig Sauer M11, the standard issue pistol for NCIS, Army CID, and a number of other special units of the US military. The 2nd spinoff show, NCIS: LA features covert NCIS agents based out of Los Angeles investigating things that have nothing to do with NCIS and regularly getting into gunfights and leaving bodies all over LA. Two of the most watched shows on television are NCIS and NCIS: Los Angeles.
