[QUOTE="rlongnt, post: 2476890, member: 665"] Yes Sig did put P228 grips on them, very astute but they don’t even sell the P228 anymore. Their marketing department is working serious overtime. Now let’s take a look at the other side of that unit. I wonder why Sig’s marketing doesn’t show the other side on their literature? It’s a new style P229 slide complete with the new long external extractor. One more time…. The new ones are ALL built on the 40 cal P229 frame. The old P229 9mm/P228/M11 slides were interchangeable. The new one will not fit an M11/P228 because it’s wider, same goes for the mags. How do I know? I’ve swapped them around just to see what really changed over the years. I for one think it’s a better gun than the original. I think most people that say the original P228/M11 balances better make that assumption based on the empty weight of the gun. Once It’s loaded, especially with 124 grain 9mm and the two extra rounds the new one is absolutely perfect. For me anyway YMMV.

Of course it’s not :) Marketing hard at work sucking that last dollar out of us that’s all. That M4/M9/M11 sure looks good stamped on there though. Especially if you were issued anything that had it on there before. I’ll admit I wanted an M9 stamped M9 not 92FS and lost money on a swap to make it happen. Why?
