Bac, I love your gun pictures, and I really want one of those. However, I think that would be very difficult to carry for me. It definitely made it onto my purchase list though for awesome firearms to own.

I would not spend that kind of money with a company who can't build consistent quality firearms - even for police. You are setting yourself up for a lot of disappointment. Check out the NJSP SIG lawsuit.

I read it, and it has not been my experience with Sig, they have practically showered me with free stuff and deals for the past few years. Also the USSS is still carrying the P229 and hasn't to my knowledge, sued Sig Sauer.

I personally love my P229 Legion in .357 SIG, don't think you could go wrong with either. You might also want to consider a Stainless Elite P229 in .357 SIG. Here's my P229 Legion in .357 SIG.

How does it carry?

 

If you don't mind the extra cost, I would go with the Legion. They are so nice!

The old Sport P229's were awesome, but that's going back 15 years and were built in the German Mastershop.

 

Hey All,

I have narrowed my graduation gift to myself down to the .357sig versions of the Sig P229 SAS, or the Sig P229 Legion. Where I am looking they are so close in price(within $200) it's making me indecisive as I cannot get both.

While I have held the regular P229 as well as the Legion, and love the way both guns feel in my hand, unfortunately I cannot shoot either one before I buy it, so I need to make the determination on other factors and hope I like it.

For those that have both, have shot both, and or, have carried both. Which one should I get?

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.

Gun Shark.

Big congrats on Graduation!!

The P229 is a terrific pistol in any variation, mine are older plain Jane model when that is all they made LOL. You do get some extras with the Legion though which may have a better trigger, better sights, G10 grips, and frame undercut at the trigger guard. My self I would go for the Legion but either one being a P229 so you can't go wrong.

I have the Sig 229c SAS in 357 Sig and the 229 Legion. Both great guns in their own right and like most Sigs, trouble free. The SAS is a bit easier to carry with its shorter barrel but the Legion has an excellent trigger. Win win either way.

 

If you want a pistol that you are going to carry and use, get the SAS. If you want a pretty pistol to show your buddies, get the Legion.

 

How does it carry?

I have carried it a few times in a Uncle Mike's IWB holster in the 4 o'clock position with no issues. I would say if you are looking primarily for carry the SAS would probably be the better pistol as that is what it is really intended for.

 

Love G10 grips. I'd buy a pair of G10 grips from Hogue if I ever purchased a P229, which are $100, so it's a huge bonus that they come standard on the Legion, IMHO.

 

I like the sas features on sigs , especially if you want to carry. P229 SAS stainless over black frame for me.

 

You can see those edges help, my Sig229c. Though I've carried the Legion as well, everyone is different as to their likes and dislikes.

True,
I carry my 229e2 at times and agree. Nice sig bunk.

But if I want thinner I go to my P239dak 40sw

 

Hey All,

Thank you for all of your input, I ordered the P229 Legion as I got a price that I just couldn't refuse.

 

Congratulations. My EDC is a Legion P226. I'm a recent (last 12 months) Sig fan. I have put many thousands of rounds through this Sig with ZERO malfunctions. That is including a lot of my own reloads with range brass. It is absolutely the best carry weapon I've owned.

My bedside weapon is an HK45, but that is too big for me to conceal. Actually, the pistol isn't. It is the abnormally large magazine base pad that is too big.

 

Win-Win Situation for you.

 

Win-Win Situation for you.

I wish I could do both. It would have made my life so much easier this past week.

I still can't sell my A+ condition, not even broken in, 229R in .40. It's from 2008-9 when the quality was still in their guns. It has about 400 rounds through it and has been flawless. Can't find a stinkin buyer.

 

Pic and info?
I don't stink, I washed this morning.

 

I like the squared off trigger guard (know I'm in a minority). On some guns, that type of trigger guard is used in my grip, I think it helps my rapid fire stay put.

Anyway, enjoy!
