Sig P229r vs Sig P229 SCT

What's the difference?

P229SCT

Is it simply the P229 SCT comes with 4 new hi cap mags and a different finish? How much better is the Nitron® finish?

Is a P229r compatable with these hi cap mags? 17/10 or 14/10 of course.

229SCT is listed in the "discontinued" products on the Sig site. It had front slide serations (like the Elite) and a rear night sight and a front tru glow sight and of course the high cap mags that stuck out the bottom of the grip. Mechanically, it was just a regular 229.
Unless you really like the looks of the mag sticking out there's really no sense in buying one in Canada as all that wasted space in the mags is just going to be really frustrating
