Good Choice!!!!
I Own 2 226's, 1 228, and 1 229, All shoot about the same and all in 9mm, The 229 is basicaly the same as the 228 but has a U.S. manufactored with stainless slide and external ejector and rolled pins, which are desighned to handle the .40 S/W and .357 Sig rounds. This model is also avail. in 9mm. the unique feature of the 229 is both the .40 and .357 can be fired from same weapon with a barrel change and takes 30 seconds, which is offered by some dealers. Another Sig Plus is 226 9mm mags 15rd will fit in 228/229 9mm, but has a gap at bottom, which an adapter is avail at brownells stock #100-001-914 or be creative and make your own. Actualy it is not needed but will prevent damage to mag or weapon if slammed up into weapon. My Sigs all have about the same trigger pull. The 229 has a tad bit more recoil than the 228, and the 226 is close to the 228. I recommend the 228, that is my favorite of the 4. If you could fire all of them before choosing, remember you are the one who will be the owner and you have to be happy!!!!! Don't be talked into something you don't want. Good Luck, Reggie
