My new Sig P229 guns

Funny thing happened on my way to the range to test our my new M&P Shield, which btw, was flawless after 200 rounds of assorted ammo and my new EDC gun. While at the LGS I saw three Sig P229 guns. Ended up going all the way home, packing up all the guns I have that I bought for carry but seldom carried because I liked others better. Drove all the way back to the LGS and came home with a beautiful Sig P229 SAS DAK in .40 and a Sig P229 Scorpion Elite in 9mm with threaded barrel. They are both great shooters and the kind of gun I can enjoy shooting at 25 yards. No problems after a few hundred rounds in each of practice and carry ammo. Not for daily carry as they weigh 32 oz. unloaded but I did buy King Tuk and Don Hume OT holsters for them as all my guns work or get traded. There are times when I can carry a big gun such as long car trips or if just going out for an hour or two in your neighborhood.

I must say that as an old revolver guy I love the DAK trigger as it is a nice 6.5 lb. DA pull like a fine tuned revolver. It does have a quirk in that there are two trigger resets. If you fire and let the trigger out a little you will hit a reset but it is 8.5 lbs. If you let the trigger return fully you get the 6.5 lb. normal pull. I have no idea of this is on purpose or just a quirk.

The Scorpion is a DA/SA and has a Short Trigger Reset and they do mean short. You press the trigger and release it just a tiny bit and fire again. I can make it sound like a full automatic gun if I am just pulling the trigger rather than trying to hit the bulls eye.

One last thing to mention is that with the .40 cal Sig, a simple barrel change converts it to a .357 sig. The mags are marked as .40/.357 so it is very easy to go from one caliber to another with no need for new mags. Two guns in one and twice the fun. Love shooting the .357 sig at the range next to guys shooting .22s. :grin
