The 229 is my favorite of the Sigs. Same size as a 228 but with a milled slide instead of a stamped slide w/insert. With the smaller trigger I needed to make it perfect I have been able to out shoot all the CID agents in the three state region at their own Qualification. My issue was in .40 S&W but with the barrel change to .357 Sig it was much more accurate.

I have several - 226, M11-A1(repackage 228/229), 1911 RCS Sport(commander size) and just purchased a 1911 Fastback(full size).
Depending on what you want it for - 226 is very good - used as a range gun, night stand and training. For EDC, I alternate between the M11 and the RCS Sport. The Fastback will have its first range trip this weekend. All are more accurate than me. As for round count, probably 5,000 +- in the 226, around a 1,000 each in the M11 and RCS. Multiple brands of ammo, cheap target/plinking stuff and more expensive defensive stuff. The only problems I had with any of them were with the SIG magazines for the RCS, fail to feed, which I think is due to weak springs, using Wilson magazines, no problems at all. |

OP, I agree, the P229 (or M11) is the sweet spot in Sigs.

What's the difference in the M11 vs the P229 or P228?

Quote HistoryQuoted: What's the difference in the M11 vs the P229 or P228? the M11 has a short reset trigger and coated internal parts, stainless steel slide, night sights as standard. I believe you can add the SRT to the 229/228. Everything else about the M11 is pretty much the same as a 229. An original 228, made in Germany is a gem if you can find one. The way the slide was manufactured made it lighter than the 229 slide (which was developed to handle 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 SIG). To me the SRT is really sweet for my medium size hands and I can really notice it compare to the standard trigger in my 226. One of these days, I'll probably put one into the 226. |

p220 is kinda the classic Sig for me. I don't own one, but one day I will
p226 is a great and classic Sig. I love mine. I was going to recommend the p226 or p220 as protypical Sigs, but the above replies I found interesting. p229 in .40 was my first ever handgun, and it is still my favorite. Shooting in back to back with my p226 (9mm) I shoot the p229 a little better. I really like all the p series Sigs. the ergonomics suit me well. I like the DA/SA platform. |

228,229,220 or 226. You will not go wrong with any of them.

2022 if you want DA/SA, P320 if you want striker-fired like your Glock.

I'm a Glock guy too, however over the years I have owned a number of Sigs ranging from a 220, 228, 226, 2022, Tacops 1911, and the only one I've held onto and still love and shoot is the P229 Enhanced Elite. Absolutely awesome gun, especially suppressed.
That said, the gun I most regret ever selling is the TacOps 1911. 
Either way, you're making a good choice with the 229. It's a lot of gun for the money and an absolute pleasure to shoot. |

Bought a P229R some years ago in .40 cal. Added the 357 Sig & 9mm Barsto conversion barrel. It's one of my favorites.

P229 in .357 SIG is my EDC.

P226 in .40 is my EDC. I just bought my first sig about 2 months ago and once you own one you WILL be ruined, no other pistol will compare
ETA: make sure you get the DA/SA model, none of that other crap |

I'm a Glocktard too! Just got a Sig P226 Enhanced Elite 9mm. NO REGRETS! What a difference from the P226 I had 25+yrs ago! The trigger, while not as good as a Glock trigger, is probably the best DA/SA trigger you'll find. Get the P226 Elite, you'll be glad you did!

You can't go wrong with a Sig P229. I have one and absolutely love it. It is in 40 SW and is a great shooter! That being said I have two P226s (9MM and 40 SW) and a P220. I carry a Glock 22 for work, but I carry the Sigs off duty.

You're used to Glocks? Try a compact P320. It's G19 sized, has an awesome trigger, and the ability to change size and calibers almost endlessly.
I LOVED my W. German P228, my .40 and .357 P229, and the other Sigs I've owned, but I vastly prefer having one trigger pull vs DA/SA. The trigger on the 320 is just excellent. |
