Got my Brand New Two Tone-Sig Sauer p229 9mm today!!! :smt041 Hasn't even been shot yet!! but I have to warn you.. it is loaded and one in the chamber
Thats what I got the p229 for... I still have to send my concealed weapons permit info in the mail.. I'll have to do that tomorrow. It definately looks like it was made for concealment. You getting the 9mm ? or the S&W 40?nice, it looks great! Thinking about the p299 for my first whenever they feel like getting me my permit.
Thanks, I think I did to! Happy ShootingCongrats! I love my P229 SAS Gen2. You made a good decision, IMO.
Well by now you should have your p229 now! So we both got the same gun on the same day, pretty cool :smt023Nice! I love the two-tone. I'm getting my sig in couple hours. I have been waiting 9 days and 21.5 hours so far to pick up my pistol. 10 days rule in CA! :smt015 This last 2.5 hours is taking a long time.
Thanks buddy! I appreciate the complimentsThat's a great looking pair of Sigs ya got there!
Thanks bustincaps. I will have to update you guys once I've tooken it on the rangeCongrats,,,,,,,,,,A friend of mine has the very same gun. It's a very good shooter, ur gonna luv it.
Yes I've noticed that - it's an all steel frame - no polymer. I have the P229 DAK and P239 SAS. The P239 is lighter loaded because of the reduced magazine capacity 7+1 maybe this is what you are experiencing. Also depending on the model P220 you have I think it may have an aluminum frame.One thing I've noticed is my new P229 is very heavy for a more compact gun.. in fact it even feels heavier than my P220 .45 ... Anyone else notice this, or even know why?
Perfectly normal - the decocking lever works the same on my P239 pushing the lever down releases the hammer onto the mechanism which is then slowly lowered as the lever moves up.My next question though would be about the de-cock lever on the P229
When I decock my p220 (not 229) I hold it down and than after I hold it down it decocks instantly
when I decock my p229 (not 220) I hold it down and than it releases subtle almost at the same rate that I let the decock lever back up
Is this normal? anyone experience this same description?
Well your response has triggered my urge to research... the p220 is 25.5 ounces without magazineYes I've noticed that - it's an all steel frame - no polymer. I have the P229 DAK and P239 SAS.

Yeah I'm proud to have picked the sig line for my first two guns... and to think I picked one of the best without really knowing much about guns... I just know what I like and as I was looking around I saw the p220 almost immediately and looked around and nothing else could compare to the way it felt and looked in my hand... Its what I've always thought a gun should look and feel like, and my intuition was right... I'm now thinking about looking into getting a 1911 but wondering which brand I should buy... now I'm talking about at the very earliest a few months before I do, but I'm looking now so I know what I'll be getting when I do.That's a great gun and you will really enjoy the Sig Sauer brand.
I own a 2 Sig's, 1 P230 SL and my wife carries a Sig 232 both in .380 caliber.
These are sweet guns and you can hide them anywhere - next to noi wieght.
