229 in .357

[229th]

ready to buy P229..just one question : is that true,that .357 SIG ammo shooting
"wearing out" the pistol ,then 9mm ...?

I haven't heard of any .357sig pistols wearing out faster than their 9mm or 40S&W counterparts.

Factory .357sig ammunition really isn't that much hotter than some +P and +P+ 9mm ammunition, and Sig pistols handle that stuff just fine.

No , it's a lie propagated by the 357 SIG haters.

I have a 226, 239, and 229 in 357SIG. They look just like their 9mm counterparts and have more rounds through them.

..That`s what I`m want to hear ! Thanks a million,gentlemans !
Try before only .380,.32,.22 and 9mm. Thats why ask...Say 357 SIG is great !

Dang.... I'm still trying to wear mine out..... to no avail!!

I just bought a 229 in 357 SIG - a police trade-in. Until I refinished the slide it showed lots of holster wear, but internally it was fine. Accurate and tight. Good gun.

Ditto. Mine came with "both barrels"... one for .357 Sig and another for .40 S&W. Only sign of wear is holster wear on the slide.
