Gift from a friend P229 Legion

May 26, 2024, 10:47 AM

My friend's brother (an FFL) passed on and left his estate to him, and knowing I was a Sig enthusiast he gifted me a nice P229. It'll be my new nightstand gun, and the 6-shooter can go back in the safe.

ETA: Good to know that the challenge coin is lethal in the state of Kommiefornia

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

100%. A nice Surefire would look pretty good on that. Combined with some GoldDots and you have a hell of a score!

Is there a specific model Surefire that you’d recommend?

Practice with that SAO action. You'll enjoy it if you get the hang of the thumb motion as you present the weapon. It was too challenging for me.

The X300s are very nice; even a used X200 would be very adequate.
