The P229 was the first pistol to be manufactured in Exeter, New Hampshire.

P229 Legion For those who demand the best, now we have something even better. The SIG-Sauer P229 is a compact-sized service-type pistol often used for duty and/or concealed carry purposes.

The SIG SAUER P229 would be a great concealed pistol of choice, with the same battle proven design as the 226. I've put about 350 rounds through it so far with out a single jam.

P229: Standard Issue Combat reliability that's been trusted by federal law enforcement professionals for decades. The US Coast Guard began switching over to the P229 in 2004, beginning with the first shipment of 14,000 handguns from the production facility. The 40 can a handful on days where I get lazy but the 357 is my go to round.

I feel the extra weight helps to mitigate some of the recoil and keep the gun stable in my hands.

  • Available in 9mm,.40S&W and.357 SIG, the P229 Nitron is one of the most popular SIG SAUER pistols and carried by thousands of law enforcement professionals throughout the country. The SIG P229 is essentially a smaller P228 with different caliber options, as the slide was designed to handle higher pressure rounds such as the .357 SIG. The Siglite night sights and the trigger are very nice and suit my needs as a shooter.

    In fact, the P229 was the first handgun that could chamber the.357 SIG round.

    This model is sold with a choice of four chambers to choose from: the 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, .357 SIG, or .22 Long Rifle.

    This is the best pistol I've ever had the pleasure of shooting and am looking forward to the next 5000 rounds.

    This neat little handgun is a relative of SIG’s famous P226 9mm.
