I'm seriously considering purchasing a Sig P229R DAK that I will use as my carry weapon and would like to use .357 for defensive purposes, but .40 to practice with since it's a lot cheaper.  Does anyone know where the cheapest place is to buy a .40 or .357 barrel for a 229?

Should I buy a 229R DAK in .40 and then get a .357 barrel for it, or buy the gun in .40 and then get a .357sig barrel for it?  Which barrel is more readily available?

Also, if anyone here is willing to sell their used 229 .40 or .357 barrel for a reasonable price, I am definitely interested, please contact me.

I've quickly learned that Sig's and tight budgets aren't a good combination .

Thanks

James from the first site and John from the second site are both top notch guys that you can trust. I bought my 229R DAK from John and he was really nice to work with. Talk to him or Stickman they will hook you up.

Thanks, I just sent an e-mail out to both companies.

Stickman owns the store in the second link?

If you don't have any luck with those fine vendors, we have them in stock. $149.95

Thanks a lot for the replies.  I ended up buying a used .357 Sig barrel from NWTactical.net for $129 shipped.  

They're not listed on the NWTactical.net though, so you have to either call or e-mail.  

John was great to deal with

I have topint out that your post doesnt make sence...   read it one more time, but I get the idea... anyway I am also looking for a 357 sig barrel, exteneded and ported or threaded.

It made perfect sense, but either way I already bought one so it's a moot now.

What didnt make sence was you stated the some thing twice, sounded like you meant it the other way. anyway what did you end up picking up and how much?
