Don't you just love the feel of a solid, tight, non-plastic firearm? Had a 226, now just the 239, and despite the weight, I enjoy the confidence of carrying an exceedingly reliable pistol.
Nice group! I actually rented this yesterday at an indoor range. It was the most powerful pistol cartridge I'd fired to date. Long story short, the recoil kicked my ass. After I warmed up to it and improved my grip, it was a really fun round to shoot. The pistol itself was decent.
I understand the concern. I did drop the magazine 1st. I have since stopped using the slide release in general. In an emergency tactical reload situation, the chances of having the fine motor skills to thumb release the slide is questionable and tenuous at best. I pull back on the slide in all situations now.
@MoreCowbellBaby1965 Exactly, it's a scientific fact that most peoples' IQs hit near retarded levels in a shoot out, so gross motor skills trumps fine motors skills.
@nedbigby123 -- No, the gun will not accept .357 magnum ammo. The ballistics for the .357 magnum and .357 sig are identical @ 125grains. The .357 magnum has better ballistics as weight increases, where the .357 sig ballistics drop off significantly once the weight is increased.
Anybody that complains about recoil of a .357 Sig needs to man up, pull the rip cord and let their nutsack deploy. I can effectively put multiple rapid rounds on target with no trouble. it's about proper technique and practice, and being a marine, you should be good.
The .357 SIG is the BEST handgun ammunition because it has more energy (joules) than the .45 and also its faster velocity so more accurate. People always talk .45 is everything its shit. Its low velocity can't do anything past 40 meters seriously I mean energy wise a jacketed hallow point 9mm has more energy. Too bad the USP Tactical isn't chambered in .357 SIG only the compact and conversion kits are rare and UNRELIABLE.
Nice! Just got myself a 229R 9mm DAK too, might get another one later this year in .40 (SAS GEN 2) but convert it to a DAK. I really prefer DAK oer the DA/SA.
I have a P220 with a DA/SA trigger and I have never tried a dak trigger, does it affect the accuracy and is it hard to get used to? I'm considering getting my next pistol with a dak trigger so I want to be prepared. Thanks for help, anybody!!!
I have a P229 with the DAK trigger, I think it's the smoothest easiest trigger in existence. If you start firing with the hammer in the "pre-cocked" position (which I always do- I insert magazine with the slide locked back, then release it forward, putting hammer in the pre-cocked position), then you just have a smooth 6.5 lb trigger pull all the way through. If you always release the trigger fully between shots, then you will have the 6.5 lb trigger all the way through.

nice grouping man, how is the recoil on the 357sig? do you shoot better with the 357sig or the .40? which round is more powerful?
songmanslim 1 year ago
@songmanslim .357 is more powerfull and accurate. .40 is cheep so its good for the range. I have both barrels for my 229 and thats my opinion.

The .357 SIG even has the power to cause hydrostatic shock which further demonstrates its stopping power.
