Customer Reviews for Sig Sauer E29-9-SAS2B P229 SAS GII 15+1 9mm 3.9"

Have owned this pistol for a number of years now. My experience is it is completely reliable and easy to shoot accurately. I’m old school and prefer hammer guns for safety, particularly because they allow riding the hammer with thumb when reholstering. Never could get comfortable wiith non-safety striker fired pistols, so traded away Glock 30.
Highly recommend the Sig, expensive but worth every penny.

The P229 SAS Gen 2 has great balance in my hands. Wasn’t sure how I’d like the E2 Grips... but I like these grips. The accuracy and ease of my follow up shots, with the P229 Sig SRT, is a real positive in my shot placement. The Sig night sights work very well, and it’s real good having the option to be able to rack the slide one handed on a belt or edge of a holster in an emergency situation, by just using the edge of the Sig night sights. Fifteen round magazines is a plus. No malfunctions with the P229 SAS after 600 rounds of 9mm Winchester White Box and Federal, shot over a two day time period at the range. To me the recoil is easy to manage with this pistol. The pistol is a snap to clean. Buds Customer Service is real professional, very good, and I experienced quick communications from Buds answering all my questions. The Buds shipping was faster than I expected. Be safe. JD

I have become over the years a loyal Sig Sauer owner. The quality of the firearms produced by Sig, and the performance of their SA/DA models and triggers is way above the other manufacturers. Amazing pricing for this SAS model P229. The best model Sig so far that I own. Excellent price and excellent service from Bud’s!

Could not believe my luck when I saw the listing for the P229 SAS Gen2 and at such an incredibly low price. Have run about 500 rounds of Federal 115 gr FMJ aluminum target ammo, 100 rounds of 124 gr NATO FMj, 30 rounds of Sig 124 gr V-Crown JHP, and 30 rounds of Federal 124 gr HST JHP through the pistol without any malfunctions of any sort. For those with large hands, the E2 grip is a bit small, but easy to get used to. The mags that came with the pistol did not have Made in Italy stamped on them, so presume they are Checkmate; very difficult to load 15 rounds per much chatter on the internet (cannot faulty the pistol for this). MecGar mags (gotta be specific for the E2 grips) function flawlessly. Exceptionally well pleased with the pistol, it has become my EDC because of the SAS treatment and the perceived lightness. As always, Bud's was very easy to work with and got the pistol here quickly.

Even though there hasn't been a review on this pistol since 3/23/2015, no surprise it sold out. At $688.00 cash price you can't go wrong. I recently bought one of these and have to say with all you get at this price, you can't beat it. I wasn't sure what I was going to think of the E2 grip, I have to say I the love it..... It fits my hand perfect. If these ever come back in stock at this price I recommend you pick one up. Thanks Buds, for a good deal.

This is by far the best handgun I have ever fired, and I've fired a lot of the big names out there. Everything about this handgun speaks to the quality and reliability that has earned Sig Sauer their reputation as one of the world's best firearms manufacturers. This is now my golf standard for handguns, my 229 has eaten everything I've fed it and asked for seconds. Out of the box I was able to shoot 1in groups at 15 feet and I'm no marksman by far. With a fully loaded 15rd mag this gun sits perfectly level in my hands with no barrel dip. The tritium night sights are super bright in the dark and look like a nice set of white dot contrast sights during the day. I've fired a mix of different grained fmj's and jhp's and the difference between a 115gr and 135gr +p is almost unnoticeable. I would recommend this gun to everyone I know, I'm glad I decided to go with the 229 for my concealed carry.

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.
