The 229 in 40 is one sweet gun.....It's accurate and built like a tank...Here's a couple of pics I found that you might like....What do you think of the engraving ??

I was thinking about a P229 (in .40, possibly in 9mm) but a weird thing happened. Even though the P229 is only 1.4 oz heavier than the P228, in my hand it feels really unbalanced. The P228 just seems to have a better sweet spot, the 229 feels top heavy.

Now I did this with empty mags, tonight I am going with a friend to shoot both, and to rent a USP40 compact, I am figuring out what I really would like to own.

Anyone have anything to add to my impressions?

Actually, the Sig229 is one of the only Sigs I like. Go for it and keep us posted.

Bamf,
I changed my mind about the Kimber....I took the deposit and put it on a HK compact 40 in stainless.....I pick it up this Friday...
 
The Sig 229 in 40S&W is a great pistol, with arguably the best DA trigger among the semiautos. Someone commented on it being top heavy, but although I understand the comment, it isn't noticeable when shooting (at least to me). The only negative, which in my opinion it shares with other similarly configured guns, is the DA/SA change between the first and subsequent shots.

Going against the grain here a bit!!! :); but
I prefer these 3 Sig's to the P229 :p

A) Sig P220A .45ACP
B) Sig P228 9m/m
C) Sig P226 9m/m

Nothing against the 229; except the accuracy
that I expected. :)

vyper005,

I'm sure you know, but the top picture is of a P228.
