SIG P299 .40 S&W

[luvmyberetta]

I've always wanted a SIG & found a deal on a lightly used P229 in .40 caliber & picked it up on a trade. It came with three 12 round ext. mags & night sights. I think this ones a keeper. I've got a set of Hogue grips & a .357 SIG barrel conversion on the way.

Very nice!

I have one myself.

Looks good. It should be quite a shooter!

Nice. I'm in the market for a sig myself!

Buddy, you're almost as bad as me. Buy one, sell one, buy another one , maybe two more. Anyway, congrats on the sig. I've had a 229 since the late 80's. I took my ccw class with it back then. Sorry to say it hasn't seen much action the last few years. It's just a bit heavy these days.

But a really good firearm.

Thanks. It was between the SIG P229 or a Walther P99. I don't think either would have been a bad choice, but SIG just seemed to have a slightly better track record & I liked the idea of having another full metal pistol. Unless I have a breakdown, I plan to keep this one, but you know how it is with us gun collectors... There's alway another one to drool over eventually.

Amen, brother. I just had to have the Beretta Storm 45 SD. Put a couple hundred rounds downrange and now thinking of moving it to finance something else. Just never satisfied.

Keep her lubed up before you go shooting and she will last forever. If you keep her. Mine is a keeper for sure.

Great Choice

I finally got to take the SIG Sauer .40 out for a test today. Wow...what an incredible shooting pistol! I may have to change my user name. I made the right choice picking the P229. I didn't do a very scientific test. I just set up a couple of cans and plastic bottles, upside down on the tops of some small shrubs. I used Remington UMC .40 S&W 180 gr FMJ for my test shots. I measured off 30 feet, loaded the 12 round mags, and took my first shot. Dead center through the Coke can. There was almost no recoil and super smooth action. I rushed my second shot before the can quit swaying and missed. My next 10 shots went through the middle of the can and ended up splitting it in two. I had two more 12 round mags and did some quick switching between three hanging bottles and hit them with all 24 shots. I even took several shots unholstering and quickly aquiring target & to my own amazment, hit them all dead center. This may be my new favorite pistol! I'll have to discuss it with my Beretta Cougar, though. The Sig Sauer P229 is everything I've heard and more. It's well balanced, has little to no recoil, & is deadly accurate.

Carry mine every day for just that reason.
