I am purchasing a new SIG in 9mm, but am on the fence deciding between the longer 226 or the 229. I know both guns are supurb and capable of bullet placement beyond my current ability. I've done my homework and have rented and fired both HK's and Sigs in my prefered caliber and price range. Now I need to decide if the extra .6 inches of sight radius and barrel on 226 going to be worth the extra overall length vs. the 229.
I shoot my GP 100 .357, Glock 22, and Kahr PM9 about 50-75 rounds per month each although I do tend to lay the Kahr down a little quicker sometimes - it's the ouch factor). Hopefully that info gives you more experienced shooters a way to guage both my current and future time commitment and ability.
I do like the looks of the 229 better, but I don't want to spend that kind of money and regret my decision. Bottom line is ........"will the 226 help me shoot better", or can I achevie the same results with the 229?
