Sig sas GenII 9mm

[MAUSER202]

I had the chance to handle a Gen 2 229 SAS a couple months ago. Very nice pistol with smooth edges. I have not shot this pistol but I've heard good things about the SRT trigger system.

There is also a slightly smaller Gen 2 239 SAS available in 9mm. Less magazine capacity but you didn't specify.

Your right I forgot to say P239.

oops.

Additionally, the SAS is now the only way to obtain a new 229 without a rail (I don't care for rails) and the rounded trigger guard. But I do agree that this is marketing and little else.

Because they can charge extra for it.

I still don't understand why they don't just make the SRT standard.

Has Sig quality recently improved?

[HK45]

Not that I'm aware of.

At least they got rid of those awful wooden grips. They looked cheap, ugly, and were too thick. Also I never understood why they wood put dog shit yellow grips and a stainless slide on a pistol designed for concealed carry. Isn't it supposed to be unobtrusive?

I find myself in agreement. There are some wood grips that I do like but those weren't them. I've some Nils on a P226 and those are the cat's meow!

Yeah Nills are friggin awesome.

I'd recommend you take a very serious look at a standard model if you really are set on getting a SIG. The SAS thing, except for looking neat, serves zero purpose. None of the agencies I dealt with during my time at SIG ever needed or wanted the "SAS" treatment on their plainclothes/UC guns. Why? Because the guns don't snag to begin with. The SAS didn't come out of user demand, it was something the marketing department dreamed up. You're paying a premium for a feature that doesn't actually do anything.

If you want it because you want it, more power to you. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking it makes the gun more functional on some level.

The SRT, on the other hand, is a must-have in a SIG pistol. Heard a rumor that SIG was going to start using it as standard in all their DA/SA guns, at least the LE models ...

I wish SIG would sell a rail-less 226 with SRT

I saw some new stamped, imported 228 models at my local dealer. Cool right? Too bad they ruined the damn gun with those stupid rails. LAME!!!
