Sig p229 SAS

[PackinMama]

Since I can't seem to find an EMP in .40 anywhere right now, I've been eyeing the Sig p229 SAS. I've never owned a Sig or even shot one. I'd like to know if anyone here has or has had one of these? What's you're opinion on this gun?

I like the sound of the DAK trigger and no manual safety, I also like the 12 rd. mag capacity. The SAS is beautiful gun as well, and looks like it would be a very nice carry weapon.

What do you guys/gals think? Should I get the Sig or hold out for the elusive EMP .40?

Here's a pic and specs on the SAS: http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=8&productid=85

You can't go wrong with a Sig. I carry one (a P228) and I have the utmost confidence in it. I've owned a P220 with the DAK trigger. It was pretty nice once you get used to it. It's a little different than a DA/SA or a Glock/XD trigger but I think it's a nice balance in between.

Have you held a 229? There is quite a bit if difference between a EMP and 229.

Skip's firearms had a great deal on a used 229 SAS here a couple of weeks ago.

Sigs are great guns you will not be disappointed. But if you are like me and have your heart set on something wait it out. You will not be happy with anything else.

Actually I haven't held either. I do have large hands though. My Glock 23 feels just right in my hand.

I have a few SIG's and a Glock 19. The 19 being the same as the 23. The SIG grips

are different. You might want to look at a P239 in .40. It is a favorite for duty and backup carry. It is a single stack.

I have a 229 SA/DA and it's been a great gun. It is a bit large though and weighs a little more than your glock. Are you stuck on the DAK or is that just what has caught your eye?

I agree with "The One". Sigs are amazing and will you certainly love it, however, if it's not your top choice, you will not be completely satisfied with it. I say hold out and get a Sig another day.

Well, I do like Double Action only guns....but I'm not opposed to DA/SA either. What really caught my eye was the smooth lines of the SAS...nothing to snag on your clothing and it looks nice too. I also like the 12 round capacity....and I really want a .40

In the morning I'm going to a couple gun shops....one has an EMP 9mm that I just want to pick up and hold....see how I like the feel. Hopefully one of them will have a Sig 229 I can check out too.

I have a 239 SAS DAK, they are a great gun. The DAK trigger does take some getting use to. To be honest I am still on the fence if I like it or not.
