SIG P229
« on: September 18, 2013, 11:30:39 PM »
I went to see Chris at Federal Firearms today to see what my Colt Combat Commander was worth. I've been thinking about selling it for a while now.

To make a long story short, I came home with a brand new P229. All it took was my Combat Commander and a surprisingly small amount of cash.

When I got home, my wife said, "What did you do now?" All I could say was "I couldn't help it. It was just too good of a deal."

I'll be at the range Friday morning.

Thanks Chris!

I second.. (or is it third?) that. 

I recently picked up my Savage .308 from Chris as well as a SW Sigma .40 (it was cheaper than trying to sell the .40 hollow points I had) and it's always a pleasure to do business with a local, small business who has very reasonable prices, but more so with someone who gives you undivided attention to your questions and the biggest plus in my book..  there's no bullcrap.  He knows his stuff.

Chris, I wish you had a range.  :) 

In any case, whatever you're looking for..   contact Chris. He's either got it or will have it very quickly.

So I got the new Sig on the range this morning and put 60 rounds through it. Would it surprise anyone if I said no malfunctions and it shoots great?

I think this is my new favorite gun. Now if someone would invent a self cleaning gun, I'd be willing to pay a little extra for that.

Hey Chris,

I fired some of that Liberty Ultra Defense. Significantly less recoil and very accurate. I like it a lot.

Nope, not surprised at all.  My Sig shoots like butter. LOVE it.

It's also a P229 but in 9mm. Bought it for a steal back in I think 2007?  I love the firearm, but I'm NOT a fan of the double action, so it's not a concealed carry choice for me. However...  if I had to, I'd do so. 

My daily carry is either a glock 32 (.357) or a glock 19 (9mm) or a S&W M&P 9mm.  However...   my most favorite is a S&W Sigma .40.

I got a 9mm. It replaces my Combat Commander 9mm.

Now I need something in .357 Sig. You gotta have one of each flavor right?

I love Sigs, but I wish they made a 10mm model.
