I carry this in .40 as a back-up and off-duty unit. I have been extremely impressed with the ease of use and accuracy on the range. I have always been a Glock fan and this is a far better shooting gun.

I had the chance to fire a friend's Sig 229 this past weekend and now I'm ready to trade in my Glock 23 for one of these beauties.

This firearm has 110% of my satisfaction.

I have this in the Equinox. I have never had any problems with this gun. I will always use Sig. I am very impressed with the accuracy with the short barrel. I shoot .357 sig and would not shoot any other round.

I absolutely love my Sig. I love the compact size of the 229 versus the 226. It's a little easier to conceal for off duty and UC work. The nice thing about the 229 is you arent losing any round capacity vs the larger 225 and 226. It's faster out of the holster and so easy to carry. The light weight frame makes carrying it a breeze. I would recommend the p229 for any and all of my LE brothers and sisters for on and off duty use!

My SIG SAUER 229 gets 5 stars across the board. Reliability that comes second to none. It wouldnt be on my duty belt if I thought any less. (My life and my partner's relies on it)

All I can say is the P229 .40 S&W is a sweet pistol with a lot of bang for the buck.

I've used many hanguns police and military, one of, if not, the best and interchangable clips with my off duty sig pro 2340 .40 w/15 round capacity. Won my department award, 3 consecutive 300's...predictable, accurate, consistant.

This pistol has an unbeatable combination of legendary reliability, outstanding ergonomics and astounding accuracy! Glock fanciers hype up the cost factor, but I can only say that you get what you pay for--Sigs are worth every penny. After having to carry a Glock 22 .40 for several years I can say it is a welcome relief to be able to carry my Sig now. This is the pistol that won me over the first time I fired it, and no other gun has managed to displace it yet. Except maybe the DAK variant.....

This gun has really been through hell! Best Bag for my buck!

I have carried this gun for several years and it is very reliable.

Posted the wrong review. I thought this was the DAK. I own the 226 and the 229 DAK. you can't beat either one. Sorry Glock lovers.

For off duty (or on) I like the size not too bulky and still have the cap of the 226. I know this may sound strange but with my Springfield XD I have difficulty with my seatbelt. I guess the 229 is just the right size.

THE DEPARTMENT i WORK FOR WENT TO THESE GUNS AND THEY ARE ACCURATE AND VERY RELIABLE I HAVE SHOT THOUSANDS OF ROUNDS THROUGH THIS GUN AND NEVER HAD A JAM. EXCELLENT GUN!!!

The worked great after having 1000+ rounds fired from it and was easy to clean. My only problem was i have a hard time getting the slide lock lever to lock the slide back. I think more practice or a larger lever will fix that problem. The fact the Sig has an officer supply program make me as a Rookie feel good that i can get the best bang for my buck without spending a lot and still be ready for duty.

I agree with ckrayrandy, this is a great gun. I also have problems at times with the slide lock lever, maybe a little thumb edge on the lever would help. Ok, for some reason I can't rank it higher than a 2 but its a 4 in my book!

I had the DAO version and although I liked the weapon, I had a problem with the return spring fraying. I did have the I&NS version of it which was DAO with no de-cocker, .40 S&W. Sold it to a friend who has had nothing but good luck with it. Only give it a three.

My 1st sidearm was a sig p229, and I love it, I just bought a glock 23 but I am still in love with my sig. its just a great sidearm. fits awsome in my hands and is just a smooth shooting firearm.

The .40 S&W 229 is the gun I carry while i'm on duty. I have found it to be very accurate, handles beautifully, is very comfortable to shoot. I could not ask for a better duty gun.

I own this gun and love it.....this is a cadillac of handguns....very fun to shoot

Best pistol made by the best pistol makers....

I like the compactness of this weapon. It is easier to conceal. I use to have a baretta and this has the same punch in a smaller frame.

I'm currently using the SIG P229 in a .40 cal. and I will never use another for a primary carry weapon. I've owned and used Glock, CZ, and Rugar semi-autos but this Sig beats them all. Well worth the $750 in my opinion. It's perfect in weight and size. It's also easy to break down and clean. It is the perfect sidearm, in my opinion.

Excelent durability - definitely "hell and back" tough - This Sig features a shorter barrel which makes it ideal for concealment and close-quarters. The .357sig happens to be standard issue service weapon for the MHP.

I use this weapon as my off duty carry. It fits the bill 100%. It fits my hand perfectly and I love how the controls are arranged. It shoots real good! A very accurate, well made, and rugged item. It has traveled with me into some remote places and I never worry that it witll function. I have shot well over 1500 rounds through it and it still works well. Well made pistols are like cars. Keep them clean and well maintained. They will serve you well.

Can't beat SigArms "to hell and back reliability." This was the first gun I ever owned. I still use it as my duty weapon because I've gotten so comfortable with it.

I just picked this up, I went from a Beretta, to a Smith & Wesson to this. By far the best of the three. I have fired many types of firearms and this has to be the best one ever. I carry the .40 S&W, wanted the .357 Sig but oh well. Sig's regardless of the model are the best on the market and worth the price. I like the fact it can be used as an on duty or off duty firearm due to it's compact size. Better than a Glock and fires smooth!

This is my duty pistol. I have carried this pistol for 15 years. Best handgun I have ever shot. When I retired they gave it to me to keep. Love it.

I carry this gun on duty. It is well balanced, easy to disasemble, has a fairly smooth action and shoots well. It is a good size for on duty carry & has been very dependable. It is issued to all officers on our dept. Although they are not required to carry it, most do.

I used this weapon when I went to firearms instructor school. I was also in a gun fight with the same weapon. It always operated flawlessly. This is one of the best weapons I have ever used.

This gun is great. I've never had any problems and it always performs flawlessly. I've got a 228 also which I can say the same thing about. I'd recommend this gun or any sig to anyone.

We just changed to the 229 40 Cal from the 226 9mm. Sig's are great guns. Part of our switch was going to double action only and that is an adjustment after 16 years of double/single. The size of teh gun is great for large and small handed officers.

This was the second handgun I ever owned...and it was great. I really regret selling it.

Very smooth, accurate and "To Hell And Back Reliability!"

The best handgun I have ever carried. I have the tactical rail model with the Streamlight TRL-1 light attached. The quick and smooth trigger increase the accuracy and make it a dream to shoot.

i have one love it my is a 357 sig its fell so good carry this one very reliable its no heavy or Lightweight you can use this one either concealed or uniform

Carry one as my off-duty carry in 40 S&W. Love the feel and grip of this weapon. Very accurate and no problems with it at all

I have the 229 in .357 sig. Extremely accurate and very versatile. The .357 sig round packs a great punch and has proven itself as a great patrol round. Love the ease of assembly and disassembly. The only draw back is the weight. Tends to get cumbersome when you are holding someone at gunpoint for an extended period of time.

We use the 40.S&W model at my Dept. I have carried it for 7 years now and probably put well over 5,000 rounds through it; never had a malfunction or issue with it. Easy to shoot and very accurate.

Awesome handgun!

One of the finest hand guns ive ever had. Absolutely love it in .357. Such a great shooter, prefer it over my issue Glock any day

Powerful weapon, accurate, yet small enough to carry off duty.

10 years of carrying one and one officer involved shooting..fatal for the recipient. Awesome weapon! Flawless.

I love this gun it feels like it was made for my hands it's hard to choose between the glock 23 and this at times.

What a sweet piece of work!!!!

This is a great sidearm, best I have ever used. I shoot the .357 version, and that is a great round. I have never had a failure with this weapon due to the necked down design of that round.

This thing hits right where you point it. You don't need to worry about "windage" or anything else up to about 50 yards. Excellent Semi Auto. I even bought one for myself off duty.

Would never own any other than this .4oS&W for concealed, reliable power.

This is an awesome pistol! I carried it as an issued weapon for about 5 years before my agency switched to Glock. The Glock is a fine weapon but it doesn't have sex appeal like the Sig! LOL Anyway we switched due to cost issues. The only upside is that we were allowed to buy our Sigs for $300. Needless to say, I bought mine. I just wish I could shoot the Glock as well as I shoot the Sig.

I own a .40 and love it, I don't fire it nearly enough. I took this weapon to the range and fired better with it than my issued weapon.

An instructor at our academy told us if you ever bought or used a Sig you would never be satisfied with any other weapon. He was right. My life depended on this weapon and it has never let me down. I now own/use only Sigs. " In a crisis, you will not rise to the occasion but rather default to your level of training" My Sig 229 and 220 are my best friends and constant companions in this uncertain period in American history.

This Was the first gun i ever bought...and i love it!!!...I own the p229 sct with the Truglo fiber optic front sights and the Sig Lite rear sights...it came with 4 14 round mags of .40 cal power...its a great gun that i can't stop going to the range with...

As a retired Texas State Trooper, Investigator, Supervisor, Inspector,and Firearms Instructor, I have never fired a better weapon than the Sig. This weapon has never jammed on me and has very little "kick" or movement when fired. It is a very accurate weapon with a lot of fire power. We, in Texas, highly appreciate a weapon of this caliber for protection.

AS A DISABLED RETIRED POLICE OFFICER I REMEMBER HOW ALL THE GUYS WERE RESISTANT TO GO TO AUTOMATIC FROM OUR S&W REVOLVERS......BUT AFTER SHOOTING THE SIG FOR A WEEK WE WERE ALL IMPRESSED AND SHOOTING AT A HIGHER LEVEL.....SIG JUST SEEMS TO BECOME PART OF YOUR BODY...PERFECT BALANCE AND THE MOST ACCURATE I HAVE EVER SHOT....IF I COULD AFFORD TO BUY ANY HANDGUN I WOULD CARRY A SIG...

This is my on duty weapon. The trigger pull is decent and it is easy to manipulate. The only problem that I have with it is that it is top heavy. But other than that she gets the job done.

This is my Dept issued weapon. I find it reliable, and recommend it.

Our dept has had this weapon for the last few years. Very relaible and easy to breakdown and clean. The night sights are an excellent option as well

Reliable, accurate and easy to shoot. Can't miss with .357 Sig.

Love my SIG. Use everyday as off-duty weapon.

Takes some getting used to but it has the power you need and takes a beating.

Best compact 9mm/.40/.357Auto currently being produced.

tough, accurate, & utterly-reliable.

The gun is small easy to conseal, light weight. I prefer the .357.

I have just purchased this gun used from my local gun shop. I would love to see what is done to the certified used Sig arms. I would never be able to tell this was not a new firearm! This gun will replace a Taurus PT 940 that I carry off duty. I'm sorry but that gun is a piece of crap. My brothers department issues the Sig 229 and he cannot say enough about this piece. For him to say that is reason enough for me to carry this weapon. Nothing is ever good enough for my brother?

20,0000 rounds later - still works like new. I have an original double action model. I have never experienced a problem! The springs are still the original & have been checked. They still function well.

I really like this gun. It is my duty weapon. Previosuly I used a Glock 21, and was dissapointed initally when I found out the new department I wen to used the Sig. Much to my delight, this firearm is so much smoother and more accurate. My skills have improved vastly and I truly enjoy my range time.

I have carried this weapon for over 10 years, shot thousands of rounds through it and never had a problem. Hands down, it's one of the finest handguns I have ever used.

Just qualified with this hand gun, and I got to say I enjoyed each shot! Very accurate, on target!

This is the best handgun I've ever had the pleasure of shooting and carrying.

Fits my hand perfectly, well made, accurate. Sigs are the best pistols I have ever carried!

Great sidearm, 2nd only to GLOCK!!

This is the best sidearm i have ever had the pleasure of using. Proven reliability and performance both in combat and on the range. I carried this sidearm in the sandbox and never once had a malfunction. I have put close to 6,000 rounds through mine and it still performs as if i just took it out of the box. I carry this in .40 and must say that this is a perfect round in my opinion. Plenty of penetration and knockdown power. It handles extremely well and, its compact frame makes it easy to conceal. If yours lifes on the line, the P229 wont let you down.

For those women and men, in law enforcement, with smaller hands, this gun will do the trick!!

Outstanding platform. We use it with the .357 SIG round and have found it very reliable. Great warranty as well is what helped this weapon top Glock in our bidding.

I have a personal one in 357Sig and carried on in MD as a primary duty weapon for 7 years in .40SW and absolutely love it. IMHO, a far better pistol than the Beretta that I had in the Marines, more accurate than my old S&W 5906 and feels more solidly built than my now issue Glock 23. If the 357Sig ammo weren't so hard to find and expensive I would carry this on duty now.

I love this weapon and I love SIG as a whole. They are my number1 choice!!

i do own a p226 since 8 years and work everyday with a sig pro sp2022, never had any jamming or breakage, these guns look serious and the brand is world known as reliable but the spares are quite expensive and in instinctive shooting i prefer my glocks

This was my service weapon when I was working, and when I retired I was able to purchase it. It is the best performing weapon I've had in 35 years of Law Enforcement.

This is the weapon of choice. . . . .give it to me. . . .

This is an excellent duty weapon! The action is smooth and the balance and weight are perfect. I used to carry a Glock at my former department and absolutely loved it but after shooting the Sig it has become a toss up.

Best gun I have ever shot. After 2,000+ rounds of ammo, zero jams. .40 S&W DAK issued to every officer on my department. Very user / officer friendly.

This is the standard for all weapons. Only because I am an owner of two. Does that make me bias, I think probably so. I have owned several other types of handguns and carried just as many. This weapon is by far the best I have ever used. It fits easily into your hands, whether they be small or large. Easy to carry on or off duty. Again, a Porsche in a world of Cadi’s

Great weapon, smooth firing!!

Nothing else can compare to this baby!

Love this gun. Never had a problem with the thousands of rounds that I have put through it. Also fits my hand like a glove.

VERY NICE NOT TOO HEAVY

This gun shoots smooth and is well balanced. It is versital for on duty or off duty carry...

Excellant gun. Qualify several times a year with numerous rounds. No problems. Our department uses it as our duty weapon. Easy to hold and balanced.

I love my Sig. I've carried it for 6 years and nothing else is close.

I like Sig praducts. Spendy but good.

This is my duty weapon, we carry the P229 in .40 at my Police Department and I am very happy with it. It has been flawless on the ranges thusfar, no hangups, no misfires. I also have a P229 in the .357 that I sometimes carry off duty. The .357 Sig round is fantastic, great stopping power, great speed and not much recoil.

I never shot a sig before and after shooting a friends I went out and bought my own. I love it!

The SIG P229 frame is heavy, but can accomodate either .357sig or 40 S&W ammo by just switching out the barrels. all and all its not a bad firearm, although i would much prefer something else!

Though the frame is somewhat heavy, to me it seems the re-coil is not as bad as in a Glock with its plastic frame.

this weapon is i have to say the best weapon out there of course its a sig and i love sigs this is the second sig i had i still miss my first one

I was first introduced to the Sig when US Army CID dewcided to change over to it from the old colt revolver. Of course, the one they went to was the 9mm but after retirement I bought my own 40 cal model, and I love it.

I wish we carried on duty, very accurate out of the box.

I love my sig 229. I got a hard time at first from people who didn't like the DAK model, but for me, having the same pull every time is great.

I gave it a four due to the trigger is a little dirty but may clean up if used more. For a duty gun I would like to see an extra saftey like the XD or SW have. As for accuracy come on its a SIG!! Straight out of the box at 15 yards I was at 2.5 inches.

Loud, powerful and it does the job

I love all my sigs. they are my preferred handguns.

i own this one as well as other and want another one.

Have this one with both the .357 Sig and the .40 S&W barrel. Can't figure what caliber I like most. Great Off-Duty carry gun.

Since getting this weapon 3 yrs ago I have qualified expert every time. Love the weight and the way it handles. I put the Hogue grips on and love it.

Great gun, excellent!! Prefer the DAK model, consistent trigger.

This is a very reliable weapon and is extremely accurate. The weapon provides excellent stopping power with the .357sig rounds. Would recommend this weapon to all.

My department switched to this gun about 3 years ago and I love it. It's accurate, easy to use and reliable.

Carry a 40 cal P229 on duty, I like the weapon, I just don't like the 12lb trigger pull or that it's only single action. Came from military law enforcment and carried the bretta 9mm for almost 10yrs.

I don't have a vast amount of experience with Sig Sauer, but I purchased through the individual officer purchase program and although I had quite a few hoops to jump through to get it overall it was worth it. I took this weapon right out of the box cleaned off the excess oil and fire a departmental required 20 round qualification course. I scored better with this weapon than I did with my duty weapon. It is a bit heaver than some of the choices out there but it fit my hand well and functioned flawlessly. I had the SRT trigger system installed so it was a little stiff however I was an even pull which made it not as noticeable. I wish this was our duty carry. I have the rail model so holsters were kinda hard to find that fit, but if you live in a colder state it would be a great off duty carry.

Really smooth shooting pistol!!

Good solid firearm.

My department has issued the 229 since 1994. Very few failures, and most of those attributed to lack of maintenance. My first pistol, issued in 94 and replaced in 05, had over 25,000 rounds through it with no failures.

Good weight, feels good in my hand. I like it better than the Glock 22 I used to carry.

The best handgun that I have ever fired. It's reliable, accurate, and fits my hand like a glove. I believe that this is one of the finest sidearms available.

GREAT Gun, shoots very very well, you can't go wrong with this one.

This is my duty weapon. My agency went from the Beretta 92FS to the Sig .40s&w P229R-DAK (DAO) model. We currently have in the neighborhood of 40K in inventory. Good, solid, reliable handgun, it fits well in just about everyone's hand. I love the .40s&w round, perfect balance between the capacity of a 9mm, and the knock down of a .45 ACP, it is definitely anti-badguy.

I started with a Glock 22 and down graded to a 19. It was sufficient until I got my Sig 229R in the 9mm. I wish it was 15 rnd. but other than that I love it. It feels solid in the hand and functions smoothly and I have the tightest groups I have ever had. If you have the chance do your self a favor and get one for your self.

great on duty and off duty weapon

This is my issued weapon for duty. Ours are chambered in .357 Sig and we carry 100 Grain International B frangible ammunition. At first I had alot of jams and malfunctions, but once I stopped using Remingtons's Dri-Lube and swithced back to Hoppe's oil, the malfunctions stopped. This is my first time with a SIG and I would trust it with my life.

My other favorite, mine has night sights and smaller frame than my 226. I leave this at house for my wife when I am gone. It fits her hand well, she just can not handle the tension on the spring.

Its a hell of a gun. Perfect size, smooth shot, and I love the kick on it.. you cant beat it.

I like my SIG P229 for many reasons, chief among them the ability to handle a light handgunand deliver powerful performance every time. The durability and reliability of every shot make it a must for every LEO to use as a primary duty weapon.

Easy to maintain, Very dependable!!

I wasn't sure if I wanted the Trijicon Tritium Night Sights at first; then I was able to see how well they work at night... worth every penny, naturally. Loaded, this firearm has a good weight, which is excellent for keeping your shot groupings small.

Most reliable gun I have ever fired.

I carried one for the last 11 years of my career, and never had a misfire or stoppage. I was an instructor and shot easily 20 times more than non instructors. Grade 5

Overall a good gun. However, it's heavy, the grip is fat, and it is a pain to clean. But my Sheriff loves it and so do I!

Even with my small frame, I am able to easily conceal this and still shoot a 2" group at 50 yards with full loads. Beats the Glock 22 that I carried for 5 years. Sorry, Glock Lovers

I had carried a Glock my entire career until recently when I was issued the P229. I was skeptical at first. I was not used to the weight increase and the double action. I began using it and was impressed by it's accuarcy. I now love my Sig. I put new grips on it which made a big difference.

My duty weapon is a glock but my personal /off-duty weapon is a Sig Sauer P229 with high capacity mags. This is really a sweet weapon....vrey smooth and great features like the de-cocking lever. It is heavier then a Glock but it is well balanced.

I bought a P229R in 357 sig with the DAK trigger system a while ago and I must say it is by far the best firearm I have ever purchased. The trigger is rated at about 6.5 lbs, but it feels much lighter. It is always smooth and consitent and delivers 1-2 inch groups at 25 yards. It's fast out of the holster and handles very well. I am approaching 1000 rounds with no malfunctions of any kind. I carry a 226 for duty, but it is the standard DA/SA, the DAK is much better. I am currently trying to get the DAK configuration authorized for my department.

This is the best fire arm I have ever owned. I trust my life every day to this gun and I do not have to worry about everything it always is there for me.

great hand gun!

Great firearm. Had one for duty back in the good old days!

This is a great gun. I carry the .357 for my duty weapon and the .40 ca for my SWAT pistol. I love them both. It is available in single and double action. I would definetly recommend the single action. The trigger pull is much smoother. For all of you Glock carriers... not dissing on the Glock but shoot one of these and you won't want to go back.

Excellent quality, reliability and function. Fits my hand extemely well and target aquisition is very fast, especially with the addition of Hogue rubber grips (I find the standard grips very nice as well).

I have carried this weapon for 5 years. No matter how much abuse it takes its always dead on. The quality is impressive.

On my day off I went out shooting with my friend who has the Sig and I have a Glock. I've always been a big fan of Glock but after shooting the Sig I'm ready to change. The weight, feel, and accuracy is awesome.

i'm also a gun dealer and i have shot just about all handgun and i still love you Sig. it's the only handgun i'll carry.

I used to carry this firearm at my last job. We had several problems with the firing pins breaking without warning. I hated this gun because it was not reliable meaning that I never knew if it would fire in a combat situation.

This is one great firearm. .40sw fires like a dream. not one problem from day one.
Makes a great Duty side arm.

I carried this weapon in .40 cal. for several years, before my agency switched to the H&K USP, and now the P2000. It was an excellent weapon and shot like a dream. My old firearms instructor called it the "Cadillac of pistols". He was right.

Am planning on getting one for a back up. I am extremely satisfied with the 226 and have been carrying Sig for years.

I want won really bad!!!!!!!!!!!

I like the feel of the grip. I like the trigger squeeze.

This .357 pistol is the Sheriff's Dept. weapon of choice and I like it alot. It feels good and shoots as good as the person behind it. While I don't try to be an expert with it I find it to be accurate everytime I qualify.

I have the .40 S&W model, and it's been great. I've used factory amo and reloads, and it's performed excellent. I carry mine at work, and it's small enough for concealed carry.

This is a great handgun. You can't beat a metal frame and this one has it all. It's solid as a rock and shoots like a dream

24 years on the job and its the best handgun I have carried. Solid, easy to shoot, very dependable. Basically you have a semiautomatic revolver.

Best shooting, most reliable, best hadling piece I've ever had.
Little heavy complared to a Glock, but won't melt on a hot summer day either.

It is a great gun, apart from the firing pin breaking issues. We use double action only at a 12 lb trigger press which sucks. The Glock fits my larger hands better, but the Sig is more reliable.

This weapon is awesome! As a female I have smaller hands and the grip is a perfect fit. It has enough barrell weight to even out the weight of the gun without being to heacy for the wrist. I had always carried Glocks before, but I fell in love with this Sig. I carry it in a .40 and I would recommend it to anyone!

I love my 229 40 cal. Have used other firearms in the past but this weapon by far is my favorite.

Great gun

Reliable and dependable

We switched to these from the Beretta 92 a few years back and I've never been so happy. Natural point of aim and it's a dream to shoot, especially with the DAK trigger. DAK makes hammered pairs stupid simple. Never had it malfunction, and it feeds everything. Great gun.

Standard ICE DRO issue and it was love at first shot. Simple to maintain accurate with nice stopping power. I love mine.

My unit issues this Sig and we have had numerous problems with it. The fact that it is all metal means it requires weekly cleaning. I have gone through several sets of springs and a couple take down levers and also had the extractor arm break. On the range I can only put a couple hundred rounds through before experiencing double feeds and failure to fires. At least I'm getting a lot of practice on my immediate action drills.

This is my service weapon. We actually carry the DAK model. Not my first choice in handguns, but it serves us well. Well built weapon.

Very good sidearm, Accurate and have never had it jam. Only thing i don't like is the 6-8 lb trigger pull!!!!

Nice weapon, but I don't like the heavy trigger pull and the rough slide release.. Also it was very pricey. Mine ran me over 900. after the new Calif. gun tax increase.... No thanks to NoBummer being in office.

I have owned one of these handguns for 8 years and at first i did not like it but i installed a houge replacement grip on it and it is a great shooting handgun and has not jamed or had any issues

Great weapon! I have carried one for about 2 years now. Very accurate, easily concealable and very comfortable with a Houge rubber grip. My only knock is the trigger take up. Very long and heavy initial trigger pull in double action. But, this can be taken care of by a good gunsmith. I love the DA/SA option and the decocking lever is a nice feature. Overall, excellent pistol!

Great firearm, My whole deparment is issued this model and really are all in love with it. Very accurate and is easy to conceal for off duty. Would not trade it for another firearm.

LOVE the P229! It's the primary carry for my agency! Put some rubber grips on and it handles even better!

i carry this as my off duty pistol and have put thousands of rounds at the range through it with out a single problem. wish i could say the same thing for my on duty gun the military dose not let you pick your own or carry a backup weapon

9mm great for concealment off duty, I needed the extended 10 round clip for comfort.

Just issued this weapon (.40 S&W) from the department. Is comfortable to handle and shoots like a dream! 5 stars from me!

our issued pistol in the 40SW. have personally shot around 10k rounds through this pistol and have never had a jam. with regular maintenance you could carry this pistol for your entire career with no issue. i'm going to buy another sig for off-duty carry.

Great weapon !!! Took top gun with it...

I have and older (Mid 90's) model and it has been my off duty friend for all of that time. I carry this pistol almost as much as my duty gun. I have fires thousands of rounds and carried it in 8-10 different holsters. If I do my part, it does it's with flare. It has digested all of the different ammos I have tried and been so consistent, I do not have a preference on ammo type. Most ammo from a rest lands in the 3 inch circle or less at 15 meters mark. I can consistently hit a 50 full silhouette if I don't palm the gun. ( old habit). You would have a hard time getting a better pistol comparing apples to apples. It is not my Kimber but thems' are different apples aren't they.

The Cadillac of pistols, great shoot, nice feel, and a trusted piece of machinery. I carried this weapon for approximately 5 years and loved it. It’s a high maintenance piece of equipment for law enforcement. By me saying that I mean it’s a wet gun that requires weekly inspections, and regular oil. I have made the mistake of being in the rain with this weapon the night before and neglected to clean it after my shift and found rust. So remember that this is a tool to help protect life, and one that should be respected.

love it, have been using it for almost 3 years and find it to be a very good pistol.

I am going to anger the conventional wisdom gods. I don't like this pistola. it can be great on the range. It stinks in desert and humid environments. It is finicky with ammo, and don't get me started on poor concealability for undercover ops. I've carried this as a fed and as a patrol deputy, I know of whence I speak.

I have the two tone P229 .357 cal. is an awesome duty weapon for Texas Police work. Completely reliable.

I have this gun in the DA/SA .40 S&W. Ever since I was old enough to purchase guns, I wanted a Sig. Never really knew much about them, but I liked their design and popularity. My first gun was a Glock because I couldn't afford the Sig back then (only downfall to a Sig is the cost). I have no complaints with Glocks because I carry one for work and my personal Glock has served me well; however, when I finally got my Sig, it was a whole other world. Accuracy was better and it hip shots went exactly where I pointed. Never had a jam in nearly 1,000 rounds. We evern went shooting with the cheaper ammo with the aluminum casing. My buddy's Kimber kept jamming, but my Sig fed it. I plan on getting a P-220 further on down.

THis is my issued firearm. Our guns are with the DAK trigger. It shoots and great and, well, it's a SIG...need I say more? You can not get a better firearm anywhere. I would prefer the .357 (which I have for off duty) but our 9mm still fuctions very well. It's light on the hip and fits the hand well. All in all, a great pistol.

I have this in .357 sig and I plan to drop in a .40cal too. I don't have to change anything else as the recoil spring and the mags are the same.

i have the sig p229r ,and this pistol is carried by numerous LE agency, local ,state and even federal. Sig Sauer makes top notch pistol out there today ,very reliable ,love the night sights , very accurate .

I own two of these myself. The first is the single / double action and the second is the Double Action Only. I use the DAO for off duty concealed carry. It's small, reliable and accurate. I am very happy with my purchases. I also have alot of respect for Sig pistols. They are very well made and won't let you down. I never had a malfunction while on the range with either one. If you are thinking about buying one do yourself a favor and do it you will not be disappointed in your selection.

I've been carrying the P229 for the last year and love it. This pistol is accurate, easy to maintain, reasonable in size for the firepower, and proven in the field. I've owned and used other Sigs and never had a problem with any of them. My friend had a minor problem and Sig fixed it for him quickly. He was the second owner of that particular gun and it had seen lots of service.

Worked narco with an officer who carried one of these on duty and under cover. It took me several years to finally buy one and I am glad I did.

I carry the Sig Sauer 229, chambered in Sig 357 as my duty weapon. It is both accurate and reliable.

great gun.

Duty weapon in 40S&W

Love the 229 9mm! Its much easier my poor elbow which is shot from so much shooting, but NOT complaining!

I LOVE THIS GUN.. shoots well
