Sig Classic Compact Size P229 SAS WOW!

[HighVelocity]

Sig has come out with a new version of the 229 that is incredible looking. I just happened to go the sig home page and there's a big pic right in the middle.

Must have one as soon as possible.

From the SIGARMS® Custom Shop comes the ultimate in concealed carry performance – the P229 SIG Anti-Snag™ Pistol.

Chambered in 40 S&W, this limited production P229 pistol from the SIGARMS® Custom Shop has gone through a radical dehorning process resulting in an ultra smooth, snag free profile that’s ideal for concealed carry.

Each pistol utilizes the new DAK™ trigger system and features a smooth, dehorned stainless steel slide with front SIGLITE® Night Sight and a contrast rear sight over a light weight black hard-anodized alloy frame with rounded trigger guard and dust cover. The P229 SAS comes with the new SIG SAUER® Custom Shop Grips and is covered by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Interesting..... Double action only.

is it that DAK trigger? I would like to try one out..

 

[HighVelocity]

Just look at the edges! Ala Kimber CDP style. I'll probably wear the finish off fondling it.

 

[lyricsdad]

get stainless!

Me Too. I haven't been able to even dry fire one.

Nice pistol.

But I think SIG is missing out on alot of potential sales by having their P229 ST, and P229 SAS available in only .40 S&W. I won't buy either in .40, but I'd buy at least one of the two if it was 9mm. I suspect there are a fair number of shooters that feel the same way.

As it seems it's limited I don't think they're worried about being able to move a whole lot of them Too bad though since I highly doubt they'll make it to untactiCalifornia..

I already have a Bar-sto 9mm conversion barrel and a Bar-sto 357 Sig barrel for my current 40 cal 229. If the barrels are the same then I believe I'll be doing some horsetrading real soon to get myself one of these SAS 229's.

HighVelocity, can a Bar-sto 9mm conversion barrel be used to convert a SIG P229 ST .40 S&W to 9mm? How much do these conversion barrels cost? Thanks.

Could someone please explain to me exactly what the DAK trigger is, and how it differs from the current DA trigger system?

Yes they can and last I checked Bar-Sto was getting $185 for them. You have to ask for the conversion barrel when you order so they don't send you the regular 229 9mm barrel. I have heard of this mistake happening a couple of times.

Thanks Rinspeed. Well I know where the better part of a grand is going in the near future.

Yep, 40-9mm conversion barrel, although last I looked they were $200 + shipping. I got mine 2nd hand from a member on sigforum.
So my current 229 will shoot 40, 357 and 9mm.

Still a little bit large and heavy to be marketed as a CCW in my opinion. The 239 SAS is a bit more manageable, while by no means small, and comes in the 9mm option.

Nice design though - I'll give em that. One of these days I should give a Sig an extended look rather than just a few shots at the range borrowing someone else's. This one won't be it - to me it's size is neither fish nor fowl. I would go for the full size versions as range guns and the 239 as being about the biggest 9mm CCW I'd go for.

The Sig website said .40 only for the P239 SAS. Have you seen one in 9mm? Eight rounds of 9mm are better than seven rounds of .40 in my book, so I would be very interested in a 9mm version.

 

[dmallind]

Apologies - my error. I saw the 239 SAS listing and assumed it mirrored the normal 239 configurations where 9mm is of course an option.

Pity - I think Sig would do better with the more popular caliber in a setup like that.
