Would you trade a HK P30 V1 for an older Sig P229 in 357 SIG?  

This appears to be a less common version featuring a Stainless frame with darkened slide.  From what I’ve gathered it appears to be the RTSER designation. Frame has no rail and was made in Germany.

If it indeed has a stainless frame, that would be a really good trade in my opinion.  Heck, I would do that trade even if it doesn't have a stainless frame.

Yes I would. Here is a pic of my Reverse Two Tone P220. Any P229 357 is worth it, especially a reverse two tone.

Well, I never cared for .357 SIG when it was still a thing. Now?  No way.

Now, which pistol is better?  That’s personal preference. I’ve found HK triggers to be meh at best, their ergos only slightly better than a Glock. With the SIG you can change grip panels and make it what suits you.

I don’t care what guns look like, I care how the function. The only exception is the P230SL. Had to have one even though it’s not a good gun by today’s standards.

Part of what made my decision to trade was that I already had a .40 barrel for it and a spare magazine.
