Choosing a dependable defensive pistol means balancing ergonomics, trigger options, and proven mechanical design. For officers and responsible citizens seeking a durable carry platform with traditional controls, a proven DA/SA frame that handles high-pressure rounds remains a smart choice.

Design and Features

The P229’s DA/SA action gives a longer, heavier first pull followed by a lighter, consistent single-action pull for follow-ups — a configuration many professionals prefer for balance between safety and speed. At an overall length of 3.9″, this compact footprint is suitable for duty holsters and robust enough for everyday carry with quality SIG ergonomics and controls. The Grade 2 trade-in condition typically reflects normal service wear while retaining functional integrity.

Included Gear

Two magazines are included, ensuring you have a reload on hand. The 12+1 capacity in .357 SIG offers substantial firepower in a compact frame, and the manufacturer listed is Sig Sauer — a brand known for durable service pistols and aftermarket support.

Caliber: .357 SIG Practical Considerations

.357 SIG delivers high velocity and strong barrier performance compared with many 9mm loads. For defensive applications it can offer excellent terminal performance in properly selected defensive ammunition. Recoil is snappier than 9mm, so practice and good fundamentals are essential; the P229’s frame and DA/SA control help mitigate recoil for follow-up shots.
