Happy birthday to me - Sig229 ####

My turn for show and tell, a well deserved gift to myself
Pics of the newly aquired 229 in 40S&W and his older big brother 220 in 45acp

Happy Birthday, indeed!!! I'm sure you deserved it!

those grips look awfully familiar...........

 

[apu]

yup, those are your lovely "old" grips replacing the nasty plastic one... and voila we have a faux elite sans beavertail

targettarget, I would love to see a pic of your new crimson trace grips on your 229

I've never handled a SIG before, whats the extra lever for? Nice looking pistols by the way, I definitely like the wood grips.

If it's the middle lever you are refering to, its the decocker

They look good, I hope you enjoy them.

I'd love to say that my CT laser grips have arrived, but I believe they are hold up in customs somewhere.

To sit down and think about it, the only real difference between my "elite" and your "regular" is the grips, beavertail and the "short reset trigger". The whole entire reason I bought the gun was because of the SRT system and truth be told, I can't tell the friggin' difference.

They are both nice guns and I'm a big fan of the 229, but for the extra money for the Elite, I should have gone with a regular.

Have fun.

Apu,

Here she is. They cost me $275 bought from the US. Haven't shot it yet with the laser, but I will let you know if they were worth it here shortly.

How did you get your dog to sit still with the guns on him and you taking photos?

Uber Nice, it's really mean looking in all black and the beavertail.


Dogs and lasers - good entertainement for hours.
