2005-07-05: Sig Sauer 229

Picked up my Sig Sauer P229 today, from Turner's. It's a well maintained law enforcement trade-in, with the appropriate barrels for both 357 Sig and 40 S&W calibers. According to the SigArms website, the P229 is classified as a semi-compact weapon. For some history specific to the 229, check world.guns.ru.

This is the first pistol I've ever bought and intended from the beginning to modify before considering it particularly useful. I intend to add a recoil management system from Sprinco, and a grip / laser sight from Crimson Trace. Lastly, I'll pick up a concealment holster for it on the off chance I should ever have a legit purpose / need for concealed carry.

While I did spend $650 on the Sig, the additional mods will probably add about $320 more to the total price tag.
