New SIG 229 Range Report

[LPPOsecurity]

So I took the new sig out today to the range today and I thought I'd do a lil write up on it. I started out at 10 yards and I had everything I actually aimed at hit on the dot, decided to move out to 15 and 25 yards and still was hittin everything I aimed at. This thing shoots like a dream, I believe I just found my new carry gun. All I was using today was 180gr Remington UMC 250 pack, I can imagine if I put some better ammo thru it, I'd be able to shoot a fly off a bull's @$$, I didn't think I could like the gun so much, the recoil on it is there but barely.
If anybody out ther is thinking about pickin one up, I would definately recommend grabbing one if u can find it.

Thanks for the confirmation that Sig makes great firearms.

I bought a P239 for my daughter for my daughter to carry a few years ago. Nice birthday gift for a 19 year old. We were at a friends place. They have some reactive targets set up that we were plinking off with rifles at about 25 yards. She loaded 2 rounds to function check the pistol, and the "bang - clink, bang - clink" followed by "I like this!" told me I made a great purchase. Amazing accuracy.

P229 or the single stack P239 version, both great pistols!

This is not the E2 but at the same time I'm not sure what the E2 has goin on with it

Nice gun! How's the recoil in a Sig in .40, all I have are 9mm Sigs so I'm curious. Does the higher bore axis make it recoil anymore than other .40s?

There is recoil, but it's not a lot and I havnt shot too many 40's but it's comparable to a full size 45 I guess

I own several Sigs, mostly W.German guns but the P229 and P239 are my 2 favorites. I have tried others but keep coming back.

Ya, I definately love my 229, but what are the w. German guns everybody keeps talkin about, I assume that means west German, but what are they all about?

 

[mettle]

That. E2 is supposed to be ergo updated

I have carried a 229 for quite a few years. I've shot quite a few other .40's and I think the recoil is equal to or better than on others. For me personally, I get very little muzzle flip. The recoil, for me, is very manageable.
