Detailed Review
The SIG Sauer P229 is a highly reliable, durable and accurate semi-automatic handgun that has been widely used by law enforcement and military personnel around the world. The P229 was first introduced in 1992 as a compact version of the popular P226 handgun, which was designed for the U.S. Army's XM9 trials.
The P229 features a double-action/single-action (DA/SA) trigger system, which allows for a longer and heavier first trigger pull to prevent accidental discharges, while subsequent shots have a shorter and lighter trigger pull for improved accuracy. It also has a decocking lever, which safely lowers the hammer without firing the gun.
The P229 has a full-size frame and a compact slide, which makes it easy to conceal and carry. It is available in several calibers, including 9mm, .357 SIG, and .40 S&W. The P229 can hold up to 15 rounds of 9mm or 12 rounds of .40 S&W in its double-stack magazine.
The P229 has a solid stainless-steel slide and frame, which give it a sleek and durable appearance. It also has a black Nitron finish, which resists corrosion and reduces glare. The P229's sights are fixed or adjustable rear sight with a front white dot sight, making it easier to aim and shoot accurately.
The P229's grip is made of polymer or aluminum and has a textured surface, which provides a comfortable and secure grip even in wet conditions. The grip also has an accessory rail, which allows for the addition of various accessories such as lights or lasers.
The P229 has earned a reputation for being a highly accurate and reliable handgun. Its high level of accuracy is due in part to its short recoil-operated system, which reduces felt recoil and improves accuracy. The P229's reliability is enhanced by its design, which uses a locking block instead of a traditional barrel bushing, reducing the chance of failure during use.
The P229 is a highly versatile handgun that can be used for a variety of purposes, including self-defense, law enforcement, and military applications. Its compact size makes it easy to carry and conceal, while its accuracy and reliability make it a highly effective weapon in a variety of situations.

Great gun, super accurate, and reliable enough to trust your life with it.

August 2, 2019Love the fact this gun doesn't have a rail. It's considerably more accurate than other 229s I've owned. Gregg Cotes has 15 round magazines, bought mine in stainless steel. First time out I had numerous failures to fire. I had the same issue with a P22

June 28, 2018Quality gun for the price it deserves. Shot about 1500 rounds of cheap target ammo out of it without a single jam. Only issue is the grip rubs your hand after shooting a while, but you can change it for a better one if you desire. 9/10 gun.
