I picked up one of the used P229s from CDNN in .357 Sig. Any ideas on what agency turned these in?

I doubt it as Federal law enforcement agencies are prohibited from trading in their old ones. My understanding is that they can only transfer them to another federal agency or destroy them.
Sometimes manufacturers have over runs of models they made for Federal LE, but weren't actually purchased by the agency, so they release them for sale to the general public to places like CDNN and such. Not to mention Sig does get a lots of trade in's from local agencies who want new weapons. Sig will refurbish those and resell them. They may have been traded in as .40 and Sig decided to change out the barrel to .357 to unload slow moving inventory possibly (to hold the 40 barrels for a later date, foreign sales, etc.).
