GUN REVIEW: Sig P229 chambered in .357 SIG

What I love about this gun!

Ever since day 1, I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting this firearm.  Everything about the SIG P229 feels nice in my hands.  I found a great deal on this firearm for $500.  First of all, it’s chambered in .357 SIG, which is  not all that popular in my neck of the woods.  This firearm barely had any use and had been well taken care of.  It had the original manufacturer’s grease in several spots.  At first, I had a difficult time reloading the .357 SIG because my size die was a little off.  Once I figured out the problem, it’s been smooth sailing ever since.  I’ve only ever shot 124 gr bullets from this thing but it eats up everything that I throw at it.  I’ve got a nice IWB Kydex holster that makes concealing this a breeze.  I also have a De Santis leather holster that works well with a jacket.  I could use another couple of magazines but have not yet stomached the $40 price tag.  I’ve got too many other things that I’m interested in.  All in all, I’m so happy with this SIG (which was my first ever) that I’ve decided to buy the P239.
