The sig p229 with custom polished slide.

[RA8]

I was going to buy this, play with it, and sell it again, but I absolutely love it. SO, my review. It shoots like a Cadillac. super smooth. It fits my hands so much better than my glock. Somehow, It has tightened up my groupings immensely. It fits in all of my IWB glock holsters, so I was carrying it right out of the gate. It feels great on my hip, and is the perfect size.

My only complaint. The hammer puts a painful dent in my little fat roll when I sit a certain way. Other than that, I couldn't be happier.

I also feel safer having a heavier da/sa trigger, and de cocker. This is the first thing that screamed at me as far as this pistol being a good match for me, but everything else matching as well sealed the deal.

Very nice! The two tone looks awesome on Sigs.

Get the hammer bobbed by a smith. I did on my 229, it helps reduce printing...and will solve that other little problem you're having.

Very nice. I too have just seen the light and switched to Sig. How do you like the .357 Sig round?

Very hard to beat a Sig, congrats on a great new carry gun. Thanks for the review and pics.

Taa DAAAAAH!!! And a beautiful brilliant light shines down from HEAVEN ABOVE!! The Sig Gods have smiled on us, and the TRUTH shines through!!

SIGS ARE JUST THAT MUCH BETTER!!!

The 226 is Sig's top of the line service pistol, and feels like an extension of your hand!
The 229 is pretty much a 226 beefed up to handle .40 better, and the list goes on!

By the way, OP, try a crossbreed supertuck. I'm a believer. It'll make that pistol melt away, not print, and keep the hammer out of your rolls.

Im digging it. hard to find, but ive shot a couple hundred rounds, and have a .40 barrel to keep it in practice.

If you are afraid to dremel, you can always buy a SIG Equinox and SIG will do the work for you.
