Oooooh yeah :!:
First here too, w00t :!:

P229 .40 S&W (<Daily carry )
Crimson Trace laser grips
Alternate .375SIG barrel.
4 Spare mags which work for both the .40 and .357 :!:

I have had it for approximately four years now, and so far... no matter what I feed it, it just keeps on going.
To the point of boring..... but that's a real good boring :!:

Standard carry load is the 155 Speer GDHP .40 S&W or the 125 Speer GDHP .357 SIG

Who made your .357 barrel? Factory or aftermarket? I am looking to purchase one for my 229.

 

[RTFM]

Factory, bought it from my local gun runner.

Love it.

I really don't think you have a P229 in 9mm!!

Really? Please inform all of us how you came to this conclusion.

When I bought mine they were only available in .357 or .40
I see now that they are offered in 9mm...When did they start this?

1994 thru 1996, reintroduced in 1999, still making them today.

Thanks...I never knew that..
When I bought mine, the P228 was the 9mm. Have there been
any other changes? Are those 9mm barrels interchangeable with all the 229's??

 

[Pistolero]

I don't know.

 

[Bunnyman]

I'm getting the impression that the 229 is the replacement for the now-Law Enforcement Only 228. You'd need a new bolt-face to ensure good reliability, but apparently 9mm barrels for the .40 SIGPros work well enough. I remember examining a friend's SIG slide (I think it was the SP2340) and the bolt face was a separate piece of metal, but I don't know if it is removable or not.

I just bought a pistol just like this, both barrels and all. Thanks for the tip on carry loads, I'll give them a try (although I kinda like Hornady TAP rounds).
