My EDC is a 229R in 357Sig. I also carry a 226, but not in 357. This round can be a little snappy, especially if you're a newer shooter. I'd love to shoot 357Sig through a 226, especially an ST, as the extra frame weight should help with recoil and coming back onto target. The 226 also has a longer sight radius, which will aid in accuracy.

P226ST. For carry, I like the P229 and P239 in .357 SIG.

sadly, no carry here in the lovely state of Chicago, oh, wait, I mean Illinois....

I have and like my Glock 32, but would probably lean toward an older Sig 229 non rail if I was going to have just one .357 Sig. I dunno, flip a coin. If you like a Glock 19, you'd like the 32.

I have more holster options for my Sig 228 than Glock 19/23/32 and that would be a small factor in my decision.

Never thought about a CZ, as I didn't know they had a .357 Sig option till now! I am searching and learning as I type this. Steyr M357 would be cool as a fan too, but where do you find one?

I can't compare it to the P229 as my 229 is .40 but my 2022 is my only .357 and I like it so much that my next handgun will definitely be in .357SIG. The 2022 handles the round very nicely.

They have a beautiful, almost perfect condition non-rail 229 in 357Sig at the local place. They want $709 consignment moneys for it though. It seriously does look new in and out though.

I vote 229

I have to admit the two guns in which I most enjoyed shooting .357sig was a P226ST and a P229ST. The all stainless guns take some of the sharpness out of the recoil.

I say a mid 90s 229 from Gray Guns.

Another vote for the P226 Stainless. This is one gun I'll keep and pass on to my son. Gary

P226 or P229
