Our Assessment: The P229 is a compact variant of the larger P226, itself a double stack magazine variant of the P220. Because of its compact size, relatively lightweight and large magazine capacity, the P229 is a favorite for duty and concealed carry purposes. This pistol, however, has been specially upgraded at the Sig factory for sport and competition. From its muzzle brake to its over-size controls, its adjustable target sights to its floorplate extensions, this is a factory race pistol, chambered for .357 Sig. The .357 Sig is essentially a .40 S&W necked down to .357″ and loaded to nearly .357 Magnum performance. It will make Major in USPSA, and that is likely one of the intended roles of the P229 Sport. While .357 Sig didn’t quite catch on as a very popular USPSA cartridge, it is nonetheless commercially available and a neat cartridge with great performance. This example is in Excellent condition, so it would make just as nice an addition to a Sig collection as it would a sporting pistol. Please see our photos and good luck!
