Picked up a sweet Sig Sauer P229-SCT with 4 18rnd mags.

She's a really great shooter, and while I never liked the 9mm round, I am impressed by the ability to wield 18 rounds at a time.

I've already added a tiny, and super light weight Viridian C5L programmable green laser/visible white light to the lower rail, and I must say, the strobe effect of laser and light is quite disorienting.

Pics...

Just read those are 18 round mags. Are the 15 flush against the magwell? Or are 16 rounds the standard?

18rounds are flush to the magwell. The bottom of the mag is just a rubber bump stop extension to prevent the mag from taking damage when dropped from the well to the ground in a tactical mag change.

Nice pistol!
No issues, Skater. You can put an owie on someone with a 9mm. Especially with 17 right behind it.

Not sure what you would do with 18 rounds. Are you trying to stop 6 badguys, or set 1 bad guy on fire? biggrin

Didn't think you could fit 18 in that grip. That is impressive.

Now imagine carrying all 4 mags that came with it... 72+1... I could do the entire Amadou Diallo shooting by myself! LOL Ok... That was in poor taste... Still funny tho.. LOL

You know... If I had incendiary rounds... I probably could set a bad guy on fire, actually...

LOL
