Seems these have gone on sale for pretty good prices at a few different places.
Does anybody own one or have first hand experience with them? I have seen them at local gun shows and I really liked how they felt in my hand and how balanced they felt. I know the slide is a 224 but is that an issue? I always found the grip on the 224 to feel wrong, even with the extended magazine in. No such problem with the 229Cs Thanks |
| Ok...the LGS I work at got 15 of these Wed afternoon. We have two left today, selling at $599. I owned a regular no rail 229, and I really like the feel of the 229C SAS much better. I have not had a chance to hit the range yet, hope to this weekend. Saw one today on gunbroker going for $999. FYI, regular 229 grips will not exchange with the G10s that are on the 229C SAS. |

was tempted to buy one off of GB for $599 but lgs had a mint unfired P226 in .40 they sold me for $475 plus tax.
one reason I went with the P226, the P229 carry is actually a P224 with extended grip. Unsure if that matters, but I am stickler for proper model nomenclature. It seems Sig needed to unload P224 parts and this was the solution. |

Quoted:
I have read that the first batch of P224s had a bunch of extractor issues, however that seems to have been corrected. From what I can tell, the P224 was discontinued in the last year or so. I had wondered about the P224 being discontinued and even had a thread here about it. The responses I got was no reason to think it had been discontinued. My opinion was based upon what I have seen is its on the way out the door. It is no longer listed on the LE sales list which to me was a key sign. However with this being said, several new models have had reported issues when first released. I thought I had read something about the slide rails or something being different design on the 224. No clue what and wondering if there was an issue with it. |
