I am the fortunate owner of a P-229 Sport in .357 Sig. This gun is a laser beam shooter! But I'd like to have the option to shoot cheap easy to reload 4.40's. Any idea where I might find a conversion barrel?

Perhaps Bar-Sto can help you out.

Sport, or sport stock? Could be wrong, but I thought the sport barrel was larger in diameter (OD), so you'd need to find a factory .40S&W barrel, perhaps on gun broker?

Regular old Sport, was not aware of a Sport stock model?

Barrels come up for sale from time to time as well as whole slide assemblies on the secondary market. Bar-Sto can make a barrel for it, but it's expensive, really expensive, and I'd have them make it in 9mm not 40 if you are going to spend the money to have it done. The linked barrel will not work with the factory single port P229S comp. It has to be threaded a different pitch and there is a indexing flat machined on the underside for the locking insert to index off of to prevent it from rotating.

If you wanted to go to .357 sig I could help but I don't have any misc 40 parts right now

Also the Sport Stock was only done as a P226 9mm gun. There were later P229 Sport SL's that were done in 40.

Thanks lolcat I'll just keep my eyes out for a complete slide in .40. I have gobs of .40 brass and since I also reload 10mm it is really cheap to load.

The SPORT pistols are the longer barreled comped or sometimes weighted guns in the P220/P226/P229 family

The SPORT STOCK, is a normal length barrel on a non-comped slide. In other words it looks stock. However the SPORT STOCK pistols still maintain the match barrels, LPA adjustable sights and tuned single action trigger break just like the longer barreld SPORT pistols

All of the barel lengths in a particular SPORT model, P220/P226/P229, are the same diameter



The top gun is a P229 SPORT and the 3rd gun down is a P229 SPORT STOCK.





The top gun is a P220 SPORT while the bottom gun is a P220 SPORT STOCK

Any of the Pistols described above will always have an S after the model number on the slide

100% not true, barrels vary across the expanded range of Sport pistols. Some have standard barrels, some have bull barrels. Barrel length will also vary depending on which variation of weight/comp/sight extender/weight & comp.

First Gun is a P229S Sport
Second is a P229 SSS Rtser (All Stainless Steel frame and slide, "reverse" two tone)
Third is a P229 Sport SL
Fourth is a P229 SSS (All Stainless Steel) not a Sport

Top gun is indeed a P220 Sport
The second gun is a P220 N Sport (220R-45-Sport-N also labeled P 220 SPORT SL BT "stainless beaver tail")

Perhaps I was not wordy enough, I was trying to avoid a small segment on each model. Now that I look at it I can cut and paste this

A P220 SPORT has the same diameeter barrel as a P220 SPORT STOCK
A P226 SPORT has the same diameeter barrel as a P226 SPORT STOCK
A P229 SPORT has the same diameeter barrel as a P229 SPORT STOCK

Why are you correcting me on barrel length? It was never mentioned in my orignal post, go check it out

Why are you nit picking about the 2nd & 4th guns, I was never talking about them. Please go back and read what was typed.

The third gun is a P229 SPORT STOCK, not a P229 SPORT SL, that is if you are in the AMERICAN market. SIG might use other part numbers and names in other countries, but I am not worried about that

You are confusing the part number with the product Name, they are not always the same thing.

You are right the little box label has the part number as 220R-45-SPORT-N, if you look at one of the boxes, you will notice that label is not long enough for the word STOCK to be added to the part number

In the Memo to dealers here in AMERICA, anouncing the first run of these back in early 2010, the part number was 220R-45-SPORT-N, but it was described as a P220 SPORT STOCK

The P220 and the P229 yes. The P226 Sport, no. The original P226 Sport 34.260.74 has a barrel dia of .54 the P226 Sport with a barrel weight and the p226 Sport Stock both have a barrel dia of .59 also the P226-S "Sport" 34.260.134 from 1996 was the first to go to the .59 bull barrel.

I was adding that not only are there different barrel dia there are different lengths. Previous to the P220 Sport with a 2 port alloy comp there were hybrid comp/barrel weight versions as well as barrel weight only versions. A different length barrel depending on which attachment was used.

Pull me a copy of the memo showing that and I'll add it to the new workup on Sport models, as I am working from actual factory labels, hence why I have art numbers for the other P226's. There are far more than the 5 shown in the old info graphic out there, 13 confirmed variations at this time of the "sport" models, most of them never imported by Sig USA.
