Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 'SAS' designation mean on a SIG Sauer P229C?

The 'SAS' designation on a SIG Sauer P229C stands for 'Sig Anti-Snag.' This treatment involves dehorning and rounding off sharp edges and angles on the firearm, making it smoother and more comfortable for concealed carry by reducing the likelihood of snagging on clothing.

How does the SIG Sauer P229C handle recoil, especially in .40 S&W?

The P229C handles recoil well for its size, even with .40 S&W. This is attributed to its all-metal construction providing weight, well-tuned springs, and a full-sized grip that aids in control, helping to mitigate felt recoil despite a potentially high bore axis.

What makes the trigger on the P229C SAS stand out?

The P229C SAS, especially models from the Custom Shop, features an exceptional trigger. It offers a smooth double-action pull and a remarkably crisp single-action pull with a very short reset, often referred to as the Short Reset Trigger (SRT), which is highly praised by shooters.

Can the SIG Sauer P229C fire different calibers?

Yes, the SIG Sauer P229C is a versatile pistol that can fire both .40 S&W and .357 SIG. This caliber conversion is achieved simply by swapping out the barrel, making it adaptable to different shooting preferences or needs.
