To Keep or Not

[NikatKimber]

Saw your posting about the Bar-Sto. Just wanted to clarify that you cannot use a SIG drop in barrel. Sometimes the conversion barrel requires fitting.

I would clarify further that you cannot use any 9mm barrel made for the 9mm P229, or P228. It must specifically be a .40/.357 to 9mm conversion barrel.

Keep it. I have a p229 SAS in 357 sig and love it. Most accurate pistol I've ever owned or shot.

KEEP IT! SIG makes a great product.

WOW, You guys are 100% right. I got to go to the range the other day. I took my custom V.B. 9mm that I have owned for 25 years and i paid a boat load for it back then. I intended to go out and shoot circles around the Sig with my 9, that didn't happen. It was a true draw, and since I have shot my V.B. for 25 years that says a lot for the sig!!I know they say you can never have enough hand guns, but I had no intentions of keep this gun, but now I have no choice!!
Thanks to all you Sig shooters!!!

If you shoot a Sig tell me why you like it?

Well, they're not my favorites, and they do have some drawbacks (high bore axis, a bit blocky), but I like them because (a) nice looking and well-made, reliable, nice sights, etc., (b) I prefer to have a de-cocker on a carry auto (either that or a 'pre-sprung DAO'), (c) good re-sale value / reputation.

I still prefer CZs and Kahrs (and a few others like 1911s & BHPs) to Sigs. But, Sigs are (obviously) worlds ahead of certain plastic junk, for example.

To you 40 cal shooters, tell me why you prefer the 40 over the other cals?

Can't help you there. I don't do .40s anymore - divested myself of them, in part just to simplify - but in part because .40s batter & wear the pistol more over time than .45 or 9mm, and there's very little leeway for overcharged loads when you cram this round into a 9mm platform, espec. with makers who mill more than just a smidge of 6 o'clock web support out of the chamber. Again, junk / Glock - oh, but I repeat myself

[Don't get your panties in a twist guys - This is hyperbole. Obviously Glocks are not junk. They fine serviceable guns. It's just that they are extremely poor *RELATIVE TO* their reputation, hype, and price. It's ALL relative.]

Well Tad,
My brother in law has 15 Glocks, and he likes them, I myself don't like them. The Sig P229 is nothing like a Glock. If there were only Glocks pistols I would only own one. I started off shooting a 1911A1 in 1972, I have allways had a 1911 since that time, back in 1982 I owned a dozen different 1911's, I still have my first 1911 and I also own a 70's series Officers model. My V.B. 9mm is just a modified 1911, and I guess that is why I bought it and still own it.
But not everyone likes the 1911 and that is why they make so many types.

If there were only Glocks pistols I would only own one.

If they were the only pistol, I'd probably have 4 or 5 (like I used to).

Sigs are great, keep it.

 

[Weatherby]

I just got rid of a sig and I am already shopping for a new one. Keep it.

Whether it's a Llama or a Les Baer, you absolutely gotta shoot it before you sell or trade it off.

I personally am not a fan of that caliber. I'll take a 9mm or .45 over it nearly every time.

I agree completely. You gotta shoot it first, and for me, the .40 just doesn't feel right and it's more ammo you gotta buy. I have 9mm and .45acp.
