I recently picked up CA-compliant Sig P229 because was on a good deal and was the only P229 variant still in production with a rail and no huge beavertail, which is the configuration I wanted. A no BS, simple, compact(ish) 9mm SA/DA with a great trigger. I thought the only CA-specific difference was that it ships with 10 rounds mags.
I was wrong.
It also has a magazine disconnect that I will remove ASAP, and a big ugly loaded chamber indicator.
I'd like to replace the slide with one that doesn't have that, but Sig only seems to be producing the BS "pro cut" slides, usually bundled with an optic I don't want.
Does anyone have a source for an original P229-1 slide? I've checked the usual sources like E-Bay, Gunbroker, all manner of online vendors, and all I can find are non-9mm calibers, P229 legacy, or instagram-ready hype-trash. The closest is probably this Legion slide on Sig's website, but it's even out of stock there: https://www.sigsauer.com/p229-legion-slide-assembly-optic-ready.html
