As some of you know, I have posted a bit concerning what model Sigs to buy and I have finally taken delivery of the first of two I have purchased. My Sig P229 Elite Custom arrived last night and I picked it up this morning. I paid 629.00 for it and have a P320 X-Compact ordered. My concern with the 229 was that it might be too big with the double stack for my hand but with the G-10 grips and SRT it fits perfect!!! Here are a couple of pics of my first Sig! Woo Hoo!

I am so excited to go to the range now and get use to shooting this new Sig. This brings a bit of joy to the heart!

Certainly my two favorite pistols. Carried a P229 for years until it was replaced with a P320 Carry. I learned to shoot with the P229 DA/SA and I’m good with it, but I couldn’t argue with the timer that said I was a touch faster to the first shot with the P320.

The old workhorse:



And the “new” hotness:


I think you’re gonna love them! Happy shooting!

Thanks very much guys. I have a 320 X-Compact ordered but no idea when it will come in. I have a few more guns in mind with a 229 Legion maybe in my future and possibly a 225 so we will see. I have raced motorcycles my whole life and I believe with proper care, shooting will be much safer.

Congrats! The P229 is far and away my favorite pistol. You got it at a great price and I love seeing you were able to get the legacy slide.

Congrats on making your decision and going with both of them. I think you are really going to enjoy both of them. My wife and I are extremely pleased with the exact same guns. We have put about 400 more problem free rounds through each since I posted in your other thread where I recommended both, and they are still problem free.

I am off to see what carry ammo it likes, trying Sig's 115 and 124 grain, and some Nosler. I am excited to see what happens, as the accuracy and precision we have experienced so far has been very nice.

If you are looking for some nicer mags to feed the 229, check out the post from usaoz in the classifieds here. I have used the 18 round and 15 round versions, and they work very nice. You might as well pick up a couple of mags for your 320 X while you're at it. Have fun.
