...my first was a 229c in 357 Sig, which worked great at first. Then after 700 or so rounds, its downfall began. I've had my share of Sig disappointment as of late so I'm skeptical here but I do like the 229c line. I had read that they only came in 40/357 Sig but found this one in 9mm. So I put money down, to be picked up at another time. The carry version is simply a standard length grip with a shorter barrel, 3.6" vs the standard 220 3.9" barrel.
