| I picked up my Sig today from the gun shop. Its a Sig 229 chambered in the 40 cal. If I had a camera, their would have been some pictures. I am currently looking to buy a few more magazines. I found a place called CDNN, and they have Sig 229 mags for $29.99. I was wondering if this is a good price for those mags, and if CDNN is a good place to shop. |
| Thanks for info, I placed my order for those mags a few minutes ago on their web page. I can see my self getting another one. I shot mad dad's a few weeks ago, and from that point on, I had to have one. I shot mine this morning for the 1st time, and I feel the sickness. |

For the best prices and always good comms, I deal with Greg / member usaoz on SIGforum's classified board. Sig mags Sig factory magazines all new in wrap without LEO marking: P229 12 round .40/.357 blued $29.95 Stay away from promags. |
Too bad you live in MD though  Vote with your feet and get out!J/k CDNN has some of the best prices on new sig magazines. There are a lot of readily available used mags out there for sig handguns and they are usually about $15 each. |
You find me a job in VA that I can do making $100k with a 10 minute commute and figure away to get all my family to come and I'll gladly go. I know this state sucks but it wouldn't be wise to just leave and have nothing just to live in VA, although I feel like it sometimes. |

The only thing I don't like about CDNN is the $10.00 flat shipping fee, even if you only order a firing pin that costs $0.50 to ship. I always wait until a have a bunch of stuff, or go in with friends. They are trustworthy, imo. ETA if you like the P229, you should try a P228 if you can find one. Lighter, slightly shorter, accepts P226 mags and points like a dream. They are no longer imported, so you'd have to look for a used one. I love my P228 more than all my other Sigs, past and present. |
I picked up an excellent used P228, with two mags, a 13 round flush mag and 15 round P226 mag w/adapter from my LGS for $500. Oh also came with hogues, and the original grips also. If you put your P229 and the P228 side by the, the difference in weight is startling. The reason is the Slide. The Made in Germany P228 slide weighs much less as the US made P229, so the pistol doesn't feel as top heavy. It points without even thinking about it. I really believe this was the best model Sig ever made in nine. Shoots like a dream.  |
