Bought me a Sig Sauer P229 9mm. Raining at the moment so range time prob only this weekend. Used a Glock 23 previously for my IDPA shoots.

It didn't come with that Comp Tac did it? I presume you ordered that in advance?

I love those.

Anyway, I love those. Did I say I love those holsters?


"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

Yip, ordered it in advance. Also love them, used one with my glock23 for concealed carry. In shorts and a t-shirt hides it well. Expensive though, paid R1100 for it, about US$100

Looks a lot like my p226's that I have. What is the differences?

No idea. I'm new to Sig. Been carrying glock for ten years now (my G23 is still a gen 2)

Going for coffee this morning and decided to test the waters with the Sig. Little apprehensive carrying it without going to the range first.

So I decided to carry without going to the range first and this happened. Not the mall we went to but it could have been.

Crazy... security in SA still so bad you have to carry yourself? I suppose it's easy to get a permit?

Yeah it is realtively easy, they make it a PITA but you'll get it eventually. Semi autos and such needs special circumstances of course. The license for this gun took 4.5 months to be approved.

So went to the range yesterday. Good shooter but I have issues with my grip and the slide release. I have this nasty habit shooting thumbs up and it touches the slide release preventing a slide lock on the last round. So will have to work on a new grip, which I admit is better, just for the muzzle memory now to kick in.

Like the gun overall though. Very accurate, even for the compact.

Still, you do get a nice case with it. smile

Not quite James Bond's Walther PPK box quality though.

A nice little varnished wooden box.


Its not the bullet with your name on it you have to worry about.
But the one addressed:
