That shor nuff is reel purty!!The 229 is a sweet pistol. What a nice shooter.
This is the best picture I have currently. The lighting is not right, but my other pistures must have rolled off of Photobucket due to age.
I think my hand and the p229 just formed relationship I wasn't planning on.

Cig Sour will be offering the P226's with the y tu grip similar if not identical to the P229 soon as well. . .
Both show widths of 1.5" per the website so are looking identical at this point. . .
Wait around for a bit and i'll bet you'll be pleased.
Should be great to have the P229 as well for CC.

Sig P226 & P229 are very fine weapons indeed
My P226 Swiss Police Trade in - 9mm
I bought it for $300 at gun show - lots of slide wear
Sent it to CCR to refinish slide $79
Great shooter.
My P229 Platinum Elite - bought new lot's of $$
Good gun for carry Sig P239 - 9mm bought used $500
All three good shooters & dependable.

Someone here in this thread actually said the 229 was too big and too heavy to carry? Only good as a service pistol? Wow. I'm just an average sized ol' dude, but the 228 and 229 (non-railed models, of course) are only the awesomest (non-1911) carry pistols ever produced ... (If you must carry a 9mm -- or a .40 S&W -- it's simply gotta be a 228 or 229).

Sorry for the double post - don't know how that happened - mod please delete
@ don, that Platinum elite is slick.
Anyhow, hit the range today. Prior I cleaned and lubed the heck out my P229, 180 rounds and no issue, I am hitting POA much better and am very happy with this weapon, top shelf piece of machinery.

Hard to beat a P229 and a Milt Sparks VMII for comfy carry.
I did swap out the wood grips since they are sssooooooooo fat.
