What to get to replace P229-1 elite stainless 9mm

[ilikegunspdx]

I was referring to the 92x. It's like shooting a normal weight pistol, only on Jupiter.

Shooting on Jupiter gives me gas.

Also, if you were to do wrist exercises a lighter weight 9mm might not hurt you.






Reeeee! lol just teasing

Steel frame would like to stay in the 800 range.

There is a Sig 220 /.45 and a Sig 226 / 9mm in the classifieds for good prices .

If all steel is what you are after, another vote for a CZ75, or a Hi Power.

I carry a P 229 daily would not have it any other way

You could try a modern gun that doesn't smell of Werther's original and tapioca, too...

I have a friend who has bought some Sig Legions, a P226 and P229, he really like them. He is a Staccato guy too but they do have have really nice triggers. Maybe keep your eyes out for those on the classifieds or really any other Single Action only Sig "Legacy" series? That's just my opinion though.

My p-6 was made in West Germany, the 229 in Germany and the 220 in Newington New Hampshire.

CZ 75 Phantom II or P-01.

^This.

Because its near new and the price on them has shot way up vs using a in production gun

 

[JRuby]

How about another p229-1 but a cheaper model or used one

 

[codeman]

All steel with an $800 budget your best bet would be a CZ. Comparable size would be the 75 Compact. Add a few goodies from Cajun gun works, Lok grips and Dawson Precision sights and you have something better than a stock 229. I love 229s though. I have a couple.

Their Zero model is based on the 226. They also have the Delta that the new Rost Martin pistol id derived from.

CZ P-01, another Police trade in 229… Or honestly just shoot the 229 you have, it's a tool, not a Monet… we have a tendency to treat too many guns as 'rare' or 'too valuable to shoot' …it's like every corvette owner thinking that they have a collected car because there were only 30 made in their cars color in that year….
The truth is closer to … and now I'm ranting, I'll just stop now because we all get the just…
