I will title this to allow thread drift within the parameters of the subject, but I am most interested in some of the differences of the P229 series of pistol.
For instance, do the P229 classic carry models that are listed as 13 round magazine capacity accept standard 15 round mags and are merely issued with 13 round mags, or is there a difference in the magazine well?
Also, aside from the lack of a rail on the classic carry and M-11, what internals actually set the models apart say from the Nitron or Elite?
I've heard that the old German slides are rolled and stamped, versus forged or milled like the new ones.
Any corrections or cross reference inferences are welcome.
