Got my first Kraut gun today

[Guest abailey362]

Well another thing that I dind't have intentions of bringing home from Hero Gear today was a slightly used Sig P229 Equinox. The look is no cool and diffferent it jumps at me. I shot a P229 in .357 sig for the first time this weekend and decided that I liked it, and then this was there today.....fate I tell you....fate.

Some more crappily lit pics from the camcorder. Especially hard with this gun since it's a contrast of black and polished stainless.

Fine looking handgun.

[ZZRguy]

That is a nice gun, it looks a lot better in person.

[fizik]

yeah, those are stunningly beautiful pistols. I know what I have to hold next time I'm at the shop, and add it to the "List of "Necessities... ehr, ....Desires" list lol.

Congrats. Germans do two things well.. mechanical engineering and beer. Here's hoping you don't catch the sig-virus so I can still buy a few more.

You'll love that gun...welcome to the dark side :-D Our Kool-Aid tastes better

[Guest superslacker]

[big mo]

The frames are still manufactured in Germany I believe. I think mine says "Frame Manufactured in Such and Such, Germany. Assembled in Exiter (I think) NH."

I think people really worry about this way too much. I have yet to see anyone, myself included, have a single issue out of a Sig that was built in NH instead of W. Germany.

The Equinox's are BA!! Congrats and enjoy!!

That's right ... Live Free or Die! I used to live in Enfield, NH during the summers as a kid.

Despite the number of limp-wristed hippies that have infected europe, it's nice to see that some people over there still make finely crafted tools to kill people with.

Nice looking gun. Sigs have always caught my eye, they're just a little rich for my budget right now.

I just acquired a 229 in a trade and so far, really like it. Your's is very nice looking BTW. Were you able to try the short trigger?

I'm pretty sure mine has a stock trigger on it. Like butter when shooting SA....still trying to get used to the DA pull

[Smith]

Mine is DAO. Heavy but smooth. I may use the short trigger and a reduced hammer spring to get the pull down.
