Thinking about buying Sig in pic. Sig is the only pistol brand I don't own one of.
It's the p229 stainless with wood grip. Seems like p229 fits my hand better than 226.
Is this a good pistol?
>>28871715
yes it is a very good pistol. The P229 feels much better than the P226 to me as well. If you have the chance, and funds, hold the P229 Legion, the undercut trigger makes a difference and the trigger job feels fantastic.
Does the stainless model you're looking at have the short reset trigger?
>>28871715
No it's a horrible pistol by a shitty company. Its heavy as fuck and a 9mm and it is extremely prone to jamming after every 100rds or so without a thorough cleaning.
The sights come loose as fuck with regular use, the grip panels will peel back with extensive shooting.
What else... Oh you cant use HP's in them without it jamming. If you get dirt or dust in the clip the gun could literally explode on you.
>>28871715
sexy sexy
>>28872295
I'm not sure about the trigger, but it was called Elite
>>28872334
Eh people like you make it hard for me to decide lol
>>28872378
I have a Sig and spend a lot of time on Sig related forums. This is the first I've ever heard of these problems >>28872334 which is my way of calling BS
Buy with confidence... if you want one OP
>>28872427
>Buy with confidence... if you want one OP
Yeah, confidence that you can't use Hollowpoints and that your sights will go flying off at the 200rd mark, Lol.
Also have fun with that Sig-thumb.
>>28872460
except for the fact that I have thousands of rounds through my Sig, including hollow points with no issues.
what is a Sig thumb?
>>28872487
>sig shilling
Sig thumb? You should know if you own one. Its when your slide comes flying off and can break your thumb, it happens when you shoot more than 100rds or so in one sitting without recharging the firearm.
>1,000's of rounds
Seriously doubt that, even Sig says their pistols are only good for 600rds at most before they disintegrate.
>>28872427
Well the thing is I've been making a point to buy a pistol of every brand, so I can decide who's best for myself
I currently have 1 S&W
2 Glocks
1 FN
1 Ruger
1 Browning
1 Springfield
I'm going to skip the bad brands like Hipoint and Chiappa, so that just leaves a few more high end brands.
Would be nice to Cover Sig with this p229.
>>28872334
You need to try and be a little more subtle if you want pwople to fall for your shit.
>>28872527
>every brand
Fucking Kek. You might be one tenth of the way there.
>>28871715
It's my favorite
Speaking of Sig's, there's a police trade-in P220 here at my local shop for $550. Its got a bit of surface wear, but the internals and barrel are all in great condition (and has had a bit of polishing done to the feed ramp, presumably to facilitate chambering police hollowpoints).
That seem like a decent price? Damn near bought it on the spot, because I've been wanting a .45 to replace the shitshow that was the Citadel 1911 I bought way back when, but I've never shot one before.
>>28873050
I like mine as well:
>>28871715
Make sure you get a 229 Legion, OP. That way you can be inducted into their uber secret club.
>>28873050
>>28873063
What year was it made?
>buying my first Sig
Soon.
>>28873118
You need P225
>>28873063
If you want a .45 in da/sa, do it.
I'm not really big on .45's but if I had to get one, it would be a german p220 before some 1911 tbqh.
>>28873118
My 239 SAS is my carry gun. Theyre a dream to carry and shoot
>>28872524
Jesus, dude, be more subtle if you want to troll. Dumb trolling is not even fun for anyone except you.
>>28873163
I really want a p239 but I'm worried it would be too big for me to conceal.
I should really try to find one to shoot.
What are the differences between the different models? I have shot a P938 and P320. How do those compare to P229/226/250?
>>28871715
Yes, it's fine, OP. Elites are good.
Check out the 229 Legion if you can.
>>28873079
Bought a Legion recently (for improvements over regular model), found out about this "secret club" accidentally. So far, looks like the swag is a free "thermal case" (waiting till mine comes in the mail", free "Legion coin" (wtf is that?) and Legion branded holsters and accessories. I doubt it's really anything special other than having Legion insignia on them.
>>28873131
That was my secondary choice but after test firing both at my local range I fell for the p250. The weight, the trigger pull, how it felt in my hand. Everything was right. Except for the lack of a safety. I think that will be my lingering concern going forward, regardless of the long trigger pull.
>>28873206
The p938 is a micro 1911, the p320 is their new striker fired pistol that is bascially an improved p250 which is a pile of shit.
Everything you listed is great except for the p250, as mentioned before, is a pile of shit.
You really can't compare them because they're completely different guns for different purposes.
>>28873206
938 = very tiny 9mm. Great for CCW.
229 = smaller 226
226 = great
250 = shitty retarded uncle of the 320
>>28873258
>938 = very tiny 9mm. Great for CCW.
What he says. Awesome gun.
>>28873249
What would you suggest for CCW?
>>28872527
I would say that the P229 is a great representative for the Sig brand. Many Sigbro's will say the P220 is the most iconic, the P226 is the most famous but the P229 is a great choice, especially the way it feels in hand.
>>28873192
It's totally concealable. That being said, I never carry it because the Shield is way lighter and has the same mag capacity.
>>28873118
check the P225-A1 before you do m8, a bit bigger but a bit more gun as well.
>>28872334
Mine has blown up and had all these problems multiple times, and that's because it's the meme anchor. I have to clean it every 50 rounds or the slide will explode and I'll have to buy a whole new one. Go with a quality gun like a Taurus or glock.
>>28873328
As other anons mentioned, the p938, p238 and p239.
The p238 being the .380 version of the p938. The p239 if you like the da/sa of the regular sig series.
Don't quote me on this because I've never shot any of them but many anons say they're actually enjoyable guns to actually shoot, which can't be said for other cc guns.
>>28873240
>Except for the lack of a safety. I think that will be my lingering concern going forward, regardless of the long trigger pull.
no m8, it's as safe as a revolver, you did good
OH, SO YOU OWN EVERY BRAND, HUH?
DO YOU OWN A BOBERG?
DO YOU OWN A KIMBER?
DO YOU OWN A LOGAN?
DO YOU OWN A IWI?
DO YOU OWN A NORINCO?
DO YOU OWN A HOWA?
Next time you post shit, try not to be a fucking pretentious little faglord. Jesus fucking christ cunt
>>28871715
Just DO IT
Theyre good guns , first 9mm I ever shot was a P226
the company just has a habit of releasing SOOPER DOOPER RARE EDISHUNS
>LOOK GUYS THIS ONE HAS AN ANCHOR ON IT LIKE DA NAVY SEALS, RIP IN PEACE CHRIS KYLE
>THIS ONE HAS A LAMBDA ON IT LIKE DA SPARTANS N STUFF
>THIS ONE IS TWO TONE N SHIT AND HAS AFTERMARKET SIGHT ON IT WITH A 200% MARKUP.
The base models are fine, and if one of the special editions with extra bells and whistles caters to your needs, go ahead and get it. Its just most of them aren't worth the price increase for little things you could do yourself.
>>28872334
Yeah...you haven't ever owned one.
I have two 229's. Heavy? Yeah, they're heavier than most guns of the same size. Only an issue if you CC and even then, I don't even notice it.
Never had any jamming in my 9mm or my .40 cal regardless of bullet type.
The sights will never come loose. You need a special tool to even adjust them.
I've put tens of thousands of rounds through my older Sig. Grip panels are fine.
Die in a fire for calling a magazine a clip.
>>28873401
not OP but seriously I think everyone understood his sentiment, the only pretentious little faglord here is you, you fucking cunt.
>>28873401
Do you own an Arsenal? Do you own a single ak?
Didn't think so, shut up you canadian cuck. Go play dress up and calm down
>>28873377
Had a 238, FTF after FTF, about 1 every 20-30 rounds. Tried a number of different types of ammo, couldn't make it work for me. Ended up just giving it away to a friend. I wouldn't carry it and he doesn't carry.. Would not recommend.
>>28873401
Damn dude, take a couple deep breaths.
>>28873486
He actually does own some AK, but all AK pattern rifles are trash so who cares?
>>28873492
>the p938 is pretty much my ideal ccw gun
>hear this all the time and how sig rushes to get these out of the door
>>28873401
And this, children, is why you don't trip.
>>28873450
Fuck you dude, I'm on your side here.
>>28873486
>look at this poorfag getting pissy because he can't buy gear
>>28873509
Fuck you dr8co, you don't know shit. And you never have.
>has, and will never jam
>assuming all AK's have been dragged around in Nigeria for 50 years
>>28873571
Wow, I'm glad I came just in time to see the circus!
>>28873571
>lives in canada, of all places
>spends all of his pay on prettyboy gucci gear that he never puts hard use into
>can't even legally defend himself with a weapon and yet still buys thousands of dollars on gear to play dress up and take pictures with
>spends $5,000 for a valmet and does all sorts of mental gymnastics to get it to look like an ak74
Congratulations, you just played yourself.
Fucking Tripfags always shit up the Sig threads
>>28873107
That's one thing I didn't ask, but it was used in the police force at least 15 years ago.
>>28873656
>because Canada is the best country.
>I do put hard use into my gear, if you'd look at the pictures I post you'd see
>Valmets are the best AK, and why not make it look like the 74? Sexiest AK.
Try again, fucko
>>28873401
I own an IWI. Delicious Jericho. But every time I post it peeps are like "UGH POLY FRAME GROSS" and I'm like nigga it was a police trade in for 399, flocks are poly frame, and it also has a rail + frame safety , so I would probably purchase it again even over the metal framed one
>>28871715
>Sig is the only pistol brand I don't own one of.
how often do you shoot your lorcin? does it have the custom tape grip?
I like p229
>>28873492
Limp wristing? Not cleaning properly? Overlubricating? Wrong oil/grease?
Mine fires hundreds of rounds without ever having any failures.
>>28873377
>The p238 being the .380 version of the p938
Actually, it's the other way around. P238 was first, and P938 is a "9mm P238" - that much is clear when you disassemble both of them on the same table.
Both are great.
>>28873401
Dude, you're embarrassing yourself.
He's an idiot, we get it.
>>28874254
>Jerichobro
Feel the bro.
Also, don't listen to the faggots who shit on the poly version.
The poly version is what made me want one in the first place.
>>28876226
ooo so sexy. thanks for the backup yo. just bought a couple of witness mags my boss had on the shelf, and was putting them through their paces the other day. flawless.jpeg
Have you tried out those meprolight night sights? Are they any good?
pictures incoming
>>28876337
Not pictured, piece of para cord I removed from grip. Also blacked out the bondo that Hebrew Michael J Fox used to cover his mistakes from said paracord
>>28876337
I haven't, sadly.
I just got mine and loved it like it was (I'm also a poorfag so...yeah. That's that)
I am lucky enough to have my LGS be a magnum research dealer that carries Jericho Mags (well, baby eagle ones, but close enough) on a regular basis.
>>28876593
It had paracord on the grip?
Why?
>>28876751
I'm also a poorfag. the meprolight ones are like only $80 last I checked so I figured it wasn't too big a hit.
> http://www.amazon.com/Meprolight-Magnum-Research-Tru-Dot-before/dp/B0002INGL0
If you notice any 16 round witness mags for sale, pick them up. Because no one wants them (usually) I got them on the cheap, both for $20 so $40.
As for the paracord, it's apparently an Israeli police thing, like the little keyring thing on the base of yours or the yellow stripes they put on their guns.
>>28873401
Henry, Ive told you plenty of times not to trip, and you still do. And I can tell you're even more angry since your stepdad moved in.
Its gonna be fine man, just answer my calls, we can talk it out in person.
>>28877630
how strange
>>28871715
>Sig is the only pistol brand I don't own one of.
Totally believable
>>28873432
calling you a faggot would be an insult to a pile of sticks
Poorfag Sig coming through, no I cannot afford a Surefire.
>>28879414
If you had bought a Glock you would have been able to afford a Surefire instead of that Walmart piece of shit.
