No problem, you are correct, the only pistol i keep loaded is the one i carry, I also check every pistol, I removed that portion to save time, great point though, I will ensure I leave safety checks in the video for viewers.
The p229 has been the sidearm of the Secret Service. It still may be I don't know, but I thought you might want to know that it is a weapon of the Secret Service. That's a pretty good standard.
Thanks, I will do so. I actually already placed the SRT kit in, was not that difficult, cough cough, the video ended up to be around 30 minutes so I am trying to edit it down without losing to much info.
When I had my p229 I've carried concealed and I didn't have any issues ad I was pretty comfortable but everyone has their own opinion on what they feel comfortable with...
Yea man I agree with you! Sig's are great fire arms, I have a P226 in .40 S&W and love it. I'm thinking of getting the SRT for my Sig too so keep us updated!
I just picked up a non rail version a couple day's ago have yet to shoot it. This is by far the most detailed 229 vid I have seen yet, awesome job. I'm with you on the grip's they seem way cheap but I have a fairly new HKp30 now that's a damn grip holyshit. Anyway great vid gonna check out some more now
They do cost more I have three now and want more.. The Glocks have their place. The SIGS have both beauty and function, and cost more, and they are more complex, and the finish is not that tough, and they are heavy, and there is the Double/single 10 lb first shot, and you can't just drop in a connector and springs like the Glock...the Pull on my 220 is so smooth I could do DA on every shot. I still love my sigs and will buy many more.. I have two Glocks... that is all I need.
Just bought my First handgun, a P226. going to buy a P229 in a few months when i get my CCW, hopefully Sig will get their act together and get the P224 launched as well =] good video
I gotta say, I really like this review. Not very many reviews out there that are good. People usually just record a handgun on a table for 5 mins and talk on and on.. this guy actually picks up the weapon and shows some stuff. Nice job.
I love the Sig P229 I had one and I traded it and now I regret it but hopefully I will get it back very soon, and I will get the new design that shown in this video cuz I like that design better...in my opinion Sig Sauer, Glock and Springfield XD are the best guns to own...I have all but the sig sauer but hopefully soon I will get a sig sauer p229 again
Thanks for explaining the trigger safety and the hammer blocked mechanism with the trigger not pulled. I didn't know that and I've had my P229 357 for many years. Cheers, friend!
Thanks Chuck, gotta jump on the wagon my friend. Its a strong round and you know you are shooting when firing a .40. Excited to try the .357 sig round.
the SIg is a different beauty, I like it for the Decocker and recoil handing, along with the look. A glock will always be in my collection, can't go wrong with a G23
Unbelievable pistol! Just purchaed this after shooting my friends Sig P229R. Ive been Glock fanboy for years- Sold my G19 and now have a new P229R for winter carry and my little P238 for summer/shorts carry. Its funny how you cant believe how much Sigs cost till you really get to shoot one at that point you cant settle for less. I still cannot believe I carried a shitty horrible grip angled squishy trigged G19 all those years! Sig P229R just melts in your hand-just go try one out!
MrDelmonte67 : I would have kept the Glock as well. I have a Glock 19 Gen 4 (MOS) and a Sig Sauer P229 SCT. It's like they're best friends. Lol. Can't have one without the other.
Love Sig. Great review. I just got a Sig Sauer MK25 P226 Navy. 300 rounds thru it and love it. I'm a 1911 guy and I love it. I don't play with my Glock much now.
@jordub for me not the best for ccw, it is a bulky pistol, waiting on a new holster and see how that feels. With the winter coming I may be able to, but in the summer it is just not working for me.
When you were talking about trigger and you mentioned that was "creep", actually, that was the take-up. Anyways, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting. Btw, you should check out a Sig 19 elampin.
very manageable, the sigs really know how to absorb the energy, that it why I love them. If you get the 226 in 9mm its like shooting 380, hours at the range. for the 40 I am not to sure, My 229 eats it.up
Living in an oppressive state years ago, I purchased a 9 mm Barsto barrel for my Sig 226 e2 40sw. I just had it fit. Oh my God, shooting 9mmm is amazing. I’ve always wanted a 229 and I think this is the reason to get one, in 40. What to do with my 2022 in 40?
Does the M11-A1 P228 have the option of purchasing one with a picatinny rail for tactical use since its being advertised for civilian and paramilitary (Law Enforcement) use?
Off the top of my head I believe the grip on the Sig is bigger, also depends what grips you have on the Sig, if you have the ergo grips much smaller then the plastic or wood grips.
How is the the recoil on your P229? I am thinking about buying the P226 Mark 25 Navy. I own a nice Kimber CDP 11 45 ACP. I realize the cost of shooting it is expensive.
A, If he didn't safety check and shot himself then I doubt he will upload it. B, If you're stupid enough not to safety check your gun before breaking it down then you shouldn't own a gun. C, If you want to know how to eject the magazine and rack the slide to eject the round in the chamber then go look at how to break down a semi-auto pistol.
This has got to be the worst, most dangerous, dim-witted., irresponsible design of a handgun in history. De-cocker: now that is appropriate for a children's toy rather than a weapon of deadly force. The opportunity for failure of either the weapon system or the operator causing DEATH is huge. It seems like they went out of the way to throw in entirely new mechanisms to cause a gun to fail to put a bullet into the face of the enemy, and thus be killed in the counter fire in ways that were otherwise impossible with real guns. This is nothing like the XD please do not make that comparison. The De-Cocker is the stuff of nightmares.
Real guns? This has to be the worst criticism I have ever read, assuming you're serious. For one, SIGs have a notoriously high bore axis so your hand shouldn't be that high up to begin with. Second, a decocker on a SIG only puts it into double action, so unless you have crippling arthritis or are just hilariously incompetent you should be able to pull the trigger. Finally, stuff of nightmares? Are you kidding me? Nobody but you has problems with SIGs. Therefore it isn't a bad design.
No problem, you are correct, the only pistol i keep loaded is the one i carry, I also check every pistol, I removed that portion to save time, great point though, I will ensure I leave safety checks in the video for viewers.

Good job man. I have a SP 2022 but I’m getting this also in a few weeks.
Very nice pistol!. You got the one with the newer slide design. I have the old style P229 in 9mm.
Own a 226 (bought close to 10 yrs ago) and has a plastic guide rod, but i've fired tens of thousands of rounds and never, ever had a problem
Beautiful piece!
It's one of my first line of home defense. Congrats on your very smart purchase!!
Thanks, I will do so. I actually already placed the SRT kit in, was not that difficult, cough cough, the video ended up to be around 30 minutes so I am trying to edit it down without losing to much info.

Thanks man.
Thanks, nothing like that moment when you take it home and open it for the first time on your house!!! I love this pistol
I gotta say, I really like this review. Not very many reviews out there that are good. People usually just record a handgun on a table for 5 mins and talk on and on.. this guy actually picks up the weapon and shows some stuff. Nice job.
me too but for 4 years... :)
Love to see a range video
Sig doesnt break down like an xd, xd breaks down like a sig
Thanks for explaining the safety system i thought I got a dud lol
Love your 229.
Nice review. Been working on getting a p229 myself.
Really impressive informative video. One of the tops, if not the best one. thanks!
I love the Sig P229 I had one and I traded it and now I regret it but hopefully I will get it back very soon, and I will get the new design that shown in this video cuz I like that design better...in my opinion Sig Sauer, Glock and Springfield XD are the best guns to own...I have all but the sig sauer but hopefully soon I will get a sig sauer p229 again
Thank you ... good video and explanation.
you have the best explanation of the p229 accuracy out there, thx!
My first one too nice piece but I paid an arm and a leg I want to upgrade mines put a red sight on her
Thanks man,
Thank you for the review! This finalized my decision on wanting buy one of these for my first hand gun
Thanks for explaining the trigger safety and the hammer blocked mechanism with the trigger not pulled. I didn't know that and I've had my P229 357 for many years.
Cheers, friend!
Thanks Chuck, gotta jump on the wagon my friend. Its a strong round and you know you are shooting when firing a .40. Excited to try the .357 sig round.
I may get a sig. I'm thinking about getting the sp2022.
sweet!
nice review
the SIg is a different beauty, I like it for the Decocker and recoil handing, along with the look. A glock will always be in my collection, can't go wrong with a G23
Great vid bro !
cant go wrong with a Sig
Great review and vid. Thanks!
Nice review.
Nice review bro
Great review!!! Thanx, You tought me alot...
Great review, one of the best I have yet to see!
, I have pushed the idea around of selling the p229, mostly because I am not comfortable CCW it. But its such a great pistol
I really like the feel of this gun. have you carried it concealed at all? How does it feel if so?
I love my 226, that one is chambered in 9, pleasure to shoot. The 229 is a beast with the .357 sig round. Just checked out the p224, nice pistol
Unbelievable pistol! Just purchaed this after shooting my friends Sig P229R. Ive been Glock fanboy for years- Sold my G19 and now have a new P229R for winter carry and my little P238 for summer/shorts carry.
Its funny how you cant believe how much Sigs cost till you really get to shoot one at that point you cant settle for less.
I still cannot believe I carried a shitty horrible grip angled squishy trigged G19 all those years! Sig P229R just melts in your hand-just go try one out!

Ohh yes, it has already been ordered my friend, On its way!!! Stocking up on ammo now
Looks like a Sig is in my future. Nice video.
Love Sig. Great review. I just got a Sig Sauer MK25 P226 Navy. 300 rounds thru it and love it. I'm a 1911 guy and I love it. I don't play with my Glock much now.
Great Review!
Great video just the way it is sir. You just sold me on one of these bad boys. Thanks!
Sigs are great weapons. Love it, very well made weapon. Another .40 and I still ain't got one :)
The day I turn 21 next year, i'm goin to my gunshop to buy a p229 or p226.
@jordub for me not the best for ccw, it is a bulky pistol, waiting on a new holster and see how that feels. With the winter coming I may be able to, but in the summer it is just not working for me.
Great review !
Thanks Man
oh man, i remember my first! its an awesome feeling :) gteat gun bro!
When you were talking about trigger and you mentioned that was "creep", actually, that was the take-up. Anyways, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting. Btw, you should check out a Sig 19 elampin.
LOL< thanks
@noBuzzkillin Thanks bud
I like the fat trigger better. Anyone else?
LOL, Its a great pistol, one of those that just looks and feels right.
very manageable, the sigs really know how to absorb the energy, that it why I love them. If you get the 226 in 9mm its like shooting 380, hours at the range. for the 40 I am not to sure, My 229 eats it.up

on the 229 i have the spring is not braided
never seen that, check around
TheNomdeguerre My factory spring is braided.
The XD takes down like the Sig...
true
FUCK! 6 years to go...
40 S&W and I have the .357 barrel
Man, I'm definately getting one of these when I turn 18... 3 years to go....
how much did it cost
Does the M11-A1 P228 have the option of purchasing one with a picatinny rail for tactical use since its being advertised for civilian and paramilitary (Law Enforcement) use?
Comparing gen 4 glock small grip, which one has smaller grip ? I don't have big hands.
Off the top of my head I believe the grip on the Sig is bigger, also depends what grips you have on the Sig, if you have the ergo grips much smaller then the plastic or wood grips.
So, it basically has the same safety as a revolver.
How is the the recoil on your P229? I am thinking about buying the P226 Mark 25 Navy. I own a nice Kimber CDP 11 45 ACP. I realize the cost of shooting it is expensive.
A, If he didn't safety check and shot himself then I doubt he will upload it. B, If you're stupid enough not to safety check your gun before breaking it down then you shouldn't own a gun. C, If you want to know how to eject the magazine and rack the slide to eject the round in the chamber then go look at how to break down a semi-auto pistol.
I think you could hit the hammer with a hammer and it still won't fire. Of course, I wouldn't test that out with a live round chambered.
what is a good price for this gun? i saw same one at gun store for $815.00 how much did u pay? is the guide rod metal or plastic?
هلا
@fastcivic1 Thanks man
any problem with the sig longer extractor???
My advice? Get a 357 SIG barrel. Practice with .40, carry 357. Every characteristic of the 357 outshines .40.
I agree, check out y next vid on this, I went the path of the .357 sig
What caliber is your P229?
hatred is an emotion of the weak, I still love you though.
What's all this safety check fuss on camera? Secure it off camera first and you're done.
Thanks man! I know my guns are clear before I hit record.
It's for all the retards who complain about the gun supposedly being loaded.
Please safety check your firearm
