SIG Handguns

RE: SIG Handguns
One of the best,IMO. My buddy has a Sig p226. All ammo feeds through it and in over 10 years he has never had a jam or misfeed. The price is up there but the quality is the best. I know the ATF,Texas rangers and Navy Seals use them. The cost gaurd just signed a contract with Sig for the new one P229 with the Double action trigger. I can't remember the name of the trigger pull. Hope this helps you.

They are one of the finer semi auto's.They do cost allot but worth the extra cost.If you can see you way to spend that much money for a handgun by all means get a SIG.

RE: SIG Handguns
Too expensive in my opinion. I like the way they feel, I just can't see all the extra cost like I could a Kimber Target II. I look at a kimber and I see the bells and whistles. I just don't see it on sig. I am a big berretta fan and like it just as well. Also love Glock.

RE: SIG Handguns
Well the reason I am asking is becouse, I bought a Sig P229 in the 40 Cal.
and was just wanting to see about where everyone thinks they should be rated.
It is a fine pistol. Granted it is not in the same class as a Kimber, but too me it is one of the better tact. pistols out there.
This is my first Sig pistol and so far so good.
Thanks again.

I carry a Sig P229 in 40 cal as my off duty weapon. My on duty weapon is a Beretta 96 and it is a fine weapon too. However, after shooting a few thousand rounds from both the Beretta and the Sig, I definately prefer the Sig. The Sig is an excellent firearm and it will give you many years of service.

You have made an excellent selection, both as to gun and cartridge. I own a Sig P239 myself (9mm). Over the years I've had the good fortune to own, and/or fire many handguns. Much of that experience was during my years as an LEO, and served also as
a firearms instructor for a few years. For pistols I've had Colt 1911's (Gold Cup & Series 70), S&W models 39, 59, 469, 5904, 6906, Walther PPK/S. I've had occasion to shoot Baretta's (92 & Cougar), HK, Browning HP, and too many others to recall.
For me, the Sigs are the finest handguns I have had the pleasure of using. Not saying
there aren't other good weapons out there, but for the money, I find it hard to beat a
Sig - very accurate, reliable.
Good luck with yours. I'm sure in time you will find it to have been a very wise choice.
BTW, if you'd like more infor. on Sig you might want to check out Sig forum. Following is
a link.

RE: SIG Handguns
I have a Sig P220, .45 cal. I love the gun I have also shot and handled my cousin's Sig P229 .40 cal. He liked his so well he bought another; of course he won't give one to me. [:@] I really like the P229 and want to purchase on of them as well.
I have a set of Hogue finger grove grips on my P220 and my cousin always liked the grips and wanted some for his P229 but he could only find the Hogue grips with the no finger groves. Recently I found the grips with finger groves from bownells. I told him about it and he order them the next day. I have compared the P229 with stock grips and the one he put the Hogue ones on and the later is well worth the price and greatly improves the gun to the status of being the most comfortable and balanced gun I have ever handled even surpassing my P220.
