XAVMECHSIG P229C Carry 40S&W: PN for 357SIG Barrel?
Recently acquired the P229 Comapact (Carry) in 40 S&W and would like to buy a 357SIG barrel. It seems the only ones I’ve been able to locate are 3.9 inches (standard length) - this pistol has a 3.5 inch barrel length. Anyone else out there found the magic number?
Thanks!

texassierraI don't know the number but what you need is a P224 barrel to fit the P229C. They're near impossible to find anymore.
Quick search...here's one on GB but they're certainly proud of it.

XAVMECHThanks! Good starting point. And yes, that one’s obviously made of something special :-)

XAVMECHThanks so much for the info. I was finally able to locate a new in package 224-357 bbl today and it’s on the way. I even found some ammo out there - imagine that!
So appreciate you folks here on the Forum!
