In my former life as a police officer, I found that many fellow cops carried them and loved the model. I shot Sigs on occasion and found them acceptable, but I think the real differences between handguns are very marginal and mostly subjective.
Serious advice to you: Go to a gun range that is also a dealer; most will allow you to rent as many models as you’d like to test fire. Test the Sig Sauer along with several others, both similar and dissimilar.

Best advice right here from fwdude. The quality and selection of firearms has never been better.
I have carried Sig and Glock on and off duty - several models. I was also a Glock armorer. Carried a Beretta in the Army. I also own several other brands and have tried out many more.
fwdude is right.... go try several brands/models at a range and and see what feels right to you. You can get all the advice in the world, but there is no substitute for test-driving.
If you want to limit the expense try to pick 3-5 that feel right and try them out. Don’t neglect the other major manufacturers either... S&W makes terrific handguns too!
Great advice! All things being equal it depends on how the weapon feels in your hands and how you respond to it when your shooting. I’m not big on guns but I do like fountain pens and I can tell if it’s a keeper or something I’ll hate almost the second I pick it up and before I write anything. Once I’ve elminated those pens that I don’t like the way they feel then I evaluate them by writing.
