…a wonderful offering from one of our fellow members when I glance at the Used Guns case and see a 9mm P229 just sitting there, a lone consignment SIG languishing (with an outstanding price, IMO) among a sea of other arms.

The sales associate was able to whisk it over to the counter where the background check call had just begun…took this pic of the new-to-me duo in the parking lot after.

Nice score, and a German frame to boot. The 229 is a soft shooting 9mm- congrats on both!

The P226 does look pretty nice. Shame we here in WA were denied the opportunity to buy it.

Yeah! I've got one of each too. Actually, two P229's, but only one has classic look.
You gave a nice home to that 229.

Very nice! I doubt I’ll ever find myself without some sort of P229 variant in my collection. 2 Sigs in a day is what I’d call a great day!
