Well, I picked this bad boy up yesterday, can't take my eyes off it. Unfortunatly I have to wait for 2 whole days to shoot it. my only gripe, this thing only came with one magazine... that seems a bit stingy to me.

Re: Sig P229 (pics)

I own pistols several times the price of the Sig, but it's the P229 that I carry as a duty weapon. Everything you want, and nothing you don't.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Did some shooting over the weekend.. I have to say this thing is incredibly accurate, and the most comfortable .40 I've ever shot.

Mine was too.

Tames the 40 nicely.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Nice 229, you should have gotten 2 mags with it. I would email Sig with the serial # and see what they say. Last time I emailed them with a question they answered it pretty quickly.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Since th early part on 2009, Sig Sauer announced they would no longer be providing 2 magazines with there handguns.

Once in a while, you can obtain a Factory Refurbished with 2 mags if they received it that way. Also, you can sometimes find Dept. trade-ins with 2.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

I guess I should consider myself lucky. I bought one refurbed earlier this year. It came with three and crimson trace grips.

I bought it for the wife and unfortunately, it doesn't fit her hands. I'm trying to find a way to keep it for me and still get her something else.

Re: Sig P229 (pics)

MecGar makes Sig's mags for everything. Including their X-5's. You might try their mags as well. Usually they are much cheaper than the factory sig mags.

Great pistol BTW!
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Carry a 229 .40 every day love that gun. Don't forget you can switch the barrel out for .357 for about $150. And use the same mags.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Top Gun Supply (Link) carries Sig mags and Mec-Gar mags. Reasonable prices and excellent service. I was really happy with what I received. I ordered 4 of their used 226 mags, saved about $17/mag and couldn't even tell they were used!
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

Why are they no longer being sold with 2 magazines? It's not like they are cheap pistols. Seems like a screw move.

The same can be said for a 9mm bbl. Picked up a 9mm drop-in from Bar-Sto and it fit perfectly in my 229. The 40 mags worked fine as well.
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

That's a beauty man. I've always loved Sigs; i came close to getting a 229 stainless elite for carry... until i found out it's a gorgeous... brick :D, weight i mean
 
Re: Sig P229 (pics)

+1 on the one magazine policy now from Sig. Can't believe it given the cost of their guns. Still, I suspect they don't make all that much on them and the money is in the add-ons; kind of like video games.

Anyway, enjoy your new piece.
