Have you ever just seen a gun and thought, \u201cOh yea, I\u2019ve gotta have that?<\/em>\u201d That\u2019s exactly how I felt when I first saw that SIG<\/a> offered a single-action-only variant of the popular P229 pistol. I\u2019ve always had an affinity for the SIG P220 series of firearms<\/a>. I\u2019ve owned most models at one time or another and landed on the P229 being my favorite.\u00a0<\/p>\n

P229 History<\/h2>\n

To get to the history of the P229, we must first look at the original P220 design. Developed in 1975, the P220 .45 was later adapted into the 9mm double-stack P226 and the compact P228. In 1992, the P228 design was beefed up a bit to handle the higher pressures of the new .40 S&W cartridge. The new model was designated the P229.<\/p>\n

Later, the P229 would be offered in other calibers, such a 9mm and .357 SIG \u2014 in fact, the P229 was the first pistol chambered for the .357 SIG cartridge. The P229 found great success in the hands of military and law enforcement personnel around the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
