This compact P229 is chambered in .40 S&W with a double-stack design and a 13+1 capacity, supported by a 3.9 in barrel for a balanced, carryable profile. It features the traditional DA/SA operating system with a frame-mounted decocking lever.
The frame is German-made and marked accordingly, with SIGARMS Exeter, NH import stamps. The slide is labeled "STAINLESS," and the aluminum alloy frame contributes to a durable, duty-ready build.
Sight setup is the fixed SIG 3-dot system with dovetailed units front and rear. The front sight is an "8" height, allowing straightforward replacement or adjustment within SIG’s sight height system if desired.
Controls and handling are familiar and intuitive: left-side magazine release button, exposed spur hammer, and black textured two-piece grip panels bearing SIG logos. The right grip is molded "P229" and the left "SIG SAUER."
This example also notes matching serial numbers on the frame and barrel, a detail valued by many buyers. It comes with one 13-round magazine and one 10-round magazine, plus the factory hard case and manual.
