Hello all - I bought a Sig P229 in 1995 or thereabouts, in 9mm. I wanted a P228 but since this was in the manic period before the federal ban took effect, beggers couldn't be choosers. My P229 was and is a fine pistol, but I've never warmed up to its slide design - thinner on the top half than the bottom.
I see now that Sig offers P229 replacement slides which, as a bonus, have their Romeo red dots already attached. They are called RX Slides. I'm hoping to get a more attractive slide and a red dot by buying one of these for my P229.
Here's the question - will these new P229 slides fit an early P229? I understand SIG went to a "Gen 2" design with the P229 during the early oughts....
