I bought this pistol originally foe concealed carry, but it is still a little too bulky for my taste. I am looking at the Sig 239 now . However I simply love this pistol. It upholds the Sig reputation for accuracy and reliability. My first trip to the range I tried my best to jam the pistol but could not be done. I put a whole assortment of rounds through the pistol and it fed everything. I thought sure some 147gr lead flat points would be a problem, but it never hesitated. Accuracy is amazing. It is simply Sig!

First of all, Bud's service was outstanding. This is my third purchase from Bud's and might be my favorite so far which is surprising since I am in love with my Doublestar AR which was my last. However, I have to say that this may be the finest handgun I have ever shot. I just received it today and took it to my local gun range and I couldn't believe the accuracy. On the first clip I put in my first three shots were in the 9 point ring of a full sized sillouhette and then my next ten shots were all on the bullseye (at 12 yards) and I wasn't paying much attention to breathing or using "ultimate focus" to get those results. I was considering getting a C.T. laser grip last night before I received the gun, but after today I think it is unnecessary because the tritium sights are bright and the gun is EXTREMELY accurate. I was using cheap Federal and Remington ammo and both produced identical results, which leads me to believe you can put anything in it and maintain accuracy. Before today my carry gun of choice was a Beretta PX4 sub compact 9mm, but not anymore. This gun is the ultimate for carry for many reasons but one of the reasons I like it best is due to the safety system which is employed. On my Beretta one of my concerns was always that if it ever came to it, would I be able to disengage my safety in time or have the sense to even disengage the safety when under diress. My gut was always telling me and that is the beauty of this gun. Due to its safety design, you just need to pull the trigger once in Double action mode and then the trigger will reset to a much shorter pull which is highly conducive to rapid fire. It is the same trigger system that is on the P229 elite, and speaking of which I believe this to be a much better gun after having held and shot both of them. The best part is that of the p229 family I believe this to be the best in its class and it is the least expensive one. At $731 you will not find a better price or sevice anywhere than at Bud's. The next closest price I found was $845 and then over $900 after that. This is one of the BEST guns you will ever purchase for this amount of money, hands down.

First of all, Bud's service was outstanding. I've never ordered a firearm online before but Bud's procedures made it simple, quick and easy. A "preferred FFL" was located nearby and this made the shipping even faster and easier. I ordered on the Friday after Thanksgiving--a day Bud's was closed for the holiday--and had the gun in my hand Wednesday afternoon. The price was also outstanding. It was almost $250 less than a local shop charges for the lowest priced of SIG's P229 models. The price alone was was enough to tempt me into ordering this gun from Bud's. I'm very glad I did.

The P229 itself appears to be a fine firearm. I've been a Glock guy for over 20 years but I've almost always wanted to own a SIG. Shooting the SIG took a little getting used to since I'm so used to Glocks. I took it to the range on Thursday and put between 350-400 rounds through the gun to wring it out and give it a thorough function test. Those rounds were a mixture of standard, +P and +P+ JHP and various brands of FMJ range ammo I had on hand. The P229 functioned flawlessly with everything I could throw at it. By the end of the range session, I was finally getting used to the way the gun handles and I was grouping my shots much better. The gun was nasty by then and I ran 5 full magazines through it as fast as I could. Again, not a single failure to function despite the gun being so hot I couldn't hold it by the slide.

The P229 SAS is a "melted" model of the P229 called the SIG Anti-Snag. It is standard with SIG night sights (they look like Meprolights to me), the short reset trigger (SRT) and the short reach trigger. I like the rounded edges and the lack of a rail. It's very smooth and the melt job should aid in case I decide to carry it concealed. Overall, a great experience with both Bud's and SIG.
