its based on the 1911, so you'll have to be comfy with external safety. Something training takes care of, some don't like it. And many will argue the .380 doesn't have much punch, but I'm sure not many of those who express such opinions have not been shot by one. But the Sig 380 is the Cadillac of the pocket 380's. Very accurate for a 2.5" barrel, and very little kick/recoil. Can really shoot and is fun little gun. I don't think I will ever sell it, I have a few thousand rounds through mine and its a charm. It works pretty much whatever you're wearing too, in hot weather I use a belly band, or a holster I made myself (kydex - single clip) that tucks ever so perfect right were I like it (4:00) and stays tight, barely any printing...
I don't doubt that the Sig is a nice piece. Even their "economy" firearms are very nice. I think the external safety is a no-go for me. Good point about the .380 not having enough punch. Made me chuckle.

Gorgeous gun... http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/m..._3_sc_mod2_2tn

Everybody I talk to with an XD loves them. They're nice to shoot too. 45 acp is probably a bit much for me to pocket carry though.
