I carry a Sig 220 in .45 and a Keltek .32 for a backup/pocket gun. Both have worked flawlessly. The Sig has around 6,200 rounds thru it, NEVER a malfuntion, stovepipe, misfire, or other problem.

Sig's are definately one of the more reliable weapons on the market. When I was buying I did a bunch of research, and everyone I talked to owned at least one Sig, and had never had a problem. I ran about 400 rounds thru mine on the first few days, and even tho it ended up dry as a bone by the end of the first day, it still never jammed up.

I don't own one although a friend does and I've shot it quite a bit. Nice shooting gun, seems to be reliable. A little large for concealed carry unless your about 6' 220#. The twenty rounds is nice to have and it's very accurate, but if you hit what your shooting at you don't need the capacity. You can get similar power with a Glock in 10mm and carry 14 rounds I believe. While it's a little expensive, it is a nice handgun but I'm not sure if it offers any value for civilian concealed carry.

Awesome, thanks for the info both of you. Yeah, it is kinda large for a concealed carry, but as I said, it will more than likely by my service pistol when I become a state trooper, and I would like to get used to carrying it, as well as the characteristics of the gun. I definitely don't need the 20 round mags, but if they come with it anyway, it's nice to have. It is somewhat expensive, but with the extras that come right out of the box (case, 3 mags, cleaning kit) I think it's definitely a value, especially since the P226's in .40S&W my brother was looking at before he got the 9mm even factory refurb's were `$600-$650, which is about what the FN itself will end up costing only a little bit more, the really expensive part will be the ammo, but you gotta pay to play.  Really I'm not too worried about the concealed part of the carry as I won't be carrying it into stores or anything, I'll just be getting a leg holster with a good retention system for every time else and other than that, hopefully the only place I'll have to fire it will be at the range.

Haha, Counter-strike much? Actually, that game is where I first learned about and got interested in the Five-SeveN, I used to destroy with just that pistol and some flashbangs.
