[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 778840, member: 229"] I've owned 2 different Sigs now and am starting to drink the Kool-aid. Both have been pretty range guns that didn't get shot/carried much, because I just never considered them as a carry gun (don't really know why, just didn't). I'm seriously thinking of switching out my G19 for a Sig 228 or 229 (and to be honest, the wife loves the feel of the Sig over the Glock, so she may end up with one too). Here's a couple of stupid questions: What are the major differences between the Sig 228 and the newer 229? I've heard that the pins in the 229 (and other newer models) are pressed in, so detail stripping them is a pain where as the older models have pins that can be tapped out much easier - don't know if this is true, but its certainly a consideration if it is. Any major failures or issues ever cited with any of these models: 228/229/226 Anyone carry a 226 that used to carry a Glock 17? or a 228/229 and used to carry a Glock 19? Or Visa Versa? I don't want any "mine is better, yours sucks" opinions, just personal experiences with what you liked/disliked about both. I know my Glock and love it - and for the longest time, there was no .22 conversion kit for the Sig. Now since that little problem has been remedied, I'm seriously wondering why not make the switch. I already miss my P6 having just sold it and always wanted to carry it, but couldn't justify the size for the single-stack capacity vs. the Glock, etc... I always thought the 228/229/226 models were fatter than they were, so I'm pleasantly surprised by the feel of pretty much every model I've handled so far. Who knows, I may end up trading out the Kahr K9 for a 239 if I drink too much of this stuff. [/QUOTE]
