Some of you may of heard or read about a Guns & Ammo TV story regarding the R&D work currently being done at Sig to make a "chopped down" P229. I found a video on another site that someone made while watching the broadcast.

I think this gun could be very popular. It'll be at least 2013, however, before it could hit the streets.

I like this one better

Oh, great...

Sig has again made another piece of junk...

Just for the record, I carry a Sig 229 DAK every day to work. I guess if you like stamped, sheet metal parts, plastic, etc. the gun is fine.

I don't. Sig could design a better trigger, and maybe (besides the 220) they should really look into making more single stack magazine pistols, becuase gripping a Sig 226, 229 and the other double stack guns is like grabbing onto a 4"x4" post.

At least we don't carry the Sig P250...

I carry a 226 DAK every day, absolutely love everything about the weapon, but I wouldn't mind something similar only a bit smaller for concealed carry, so I am looking forward to checking out these 224's when/if they come out.

About how I equate about picking up a Glock. Everyone should look into making more single stacks.

You mean like a P6, the smoothest shooting 9mm in the world?

While we both apparently share a love of the P225 (P6), the similarities between it and the mythical P224 will be few.

The P224, if it ever sees the street, will be double stack and much smaller than a P6. It'll have a stainless slide and will likely ship with the SRT trigger. It will probably be introduced in 9mm but will also eventually be in .40 and .357.

The P224 will be to the P229 what the P220 Carry is to the P220. They can't call the new gun a P229 Carry because they already market the P229 as a "carry" gun.

damn I mean I like the concept, but 34 ounces? That thing is hefty as hell. i like the capacity on it but for all that and the price it might be better to go with a springfield xd subcompact.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I was just sorta tongue in cheek answering the post about making more single stax.

Necro thread rez! Simply because my distributors are showing a SKU and pricing for the P224 now, indicating that it will be available next year (2012) rather than 2013.

I agree completely! Sig's have always had a weight problem (with a few exception). I love sigs, but there are several brands that beat them in terms of weight and concealability.

I love Sigs, I love them..... But not as much as i love CZ.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Holy necroposting, Batman!

 

[rockhopper46038]

It'll be interesting to see it when its available, but you can already "disappear" a P228 like nobody's business...

 

[sparkyfender]

Looking at my Sigs right now; not seeing very much in the way of stampings, sheet metal, or plastic. ??????

 

[kawtech87]

Agreed!

Aside from the factory guide rod on my P220 (that has been replaced by a bedairs stianless guide rod) I see only high quality milled stainless steel. The only exseption is my P228 that has a stamped carbon steel slide, and ill put it up against any glock any day any time. My P226 the same only milled stainless....not seeing any plastic.....oh i found it! The box it comes in is plastic!

 

[shootersix]

wow i thought sig already made a subcompact...the p239

The P229 doesn't have stamped metal parts. I think you're thinking of the old German P226s and P228s which, even with stamped metal parts, were great guns. The newer Sigs such as the P229 use a forged stainless steel slide. I think the feel of the P229 and P226 are much better than any single stack guns in my hands. I guess that's why there are so many guns out there; so everyone can have what they want.

The 239 is an excellent piece. I had one, sold it, and intend to buy another. It's very concealable, shoots great, fits my hand nicely (single stack) and it's available in .357 Sig. Not sure there is a better carry weapon out there.

Sig P224

I don't know if this is a dupe, but here is a first look at Sig Sauer's P224. At the price it is definitely a Sig, but its nice to see Sig Sauer starting to make a smaller framed/easier to conceal gun. SIG SAUER
