Range time with the AMAZING Sig Sauer P229 .40. I shot 150 consecutive rounds down range to see how it's accuracy and feeding would be. OUTSTANDING!

I've shot 155 rounds out of my sig sauer p229 SCT .40 and have had no jams, no failure to feeds, no failure to loads... I own 3 sigs and neither of them have ever jammed yet. My 9mm p229 I have 550 rounds and no malfunctions at all... To hell and back reliability. What ammunition are you using btw?

This was Federal range ammo from Walmart. It was like $14.99 for a box of 50.

150rds without a failure isn't much of an accomplishment. That's like being excited about your car not breaking down on your way to the grocery store.

Love the feel, reliability, balance and ergonomics of the sig. Sig Sauer FTW!

I really don't want this to become a ford v chevy, PC v mac, Reminton v...well that's different - but honestly each manufacturer has it's own strong and weak products, I have a Steyr SSG-69 P-II (double trigger) with a Mark 4 TMR that I have -->*and you could* <-- put one hole in using 3 rounds at 250 meters. prone. no wind. no cowyboying. just being careful. Build a Log Cabin in the middle of Alaska -- Colt 1911-A1 hands down. Strip, clean, oil, assemble and start walking again -- older Sig.

MY UNBIASED ACCOUNT OF A P226 FRAME WITH VARIOUS CALS USED ON IT: the 20,000 (9mm) round count is very low to give an idea of bbl life. Here is what one country- cop said when he took it from my holster during a tail light stop: THIS is THE MOST filthy gun I've EVER touched! (to be fair he's prop right)

I have several sigs, my oldest (P226) 9mm was when the letter U was for USN issued sidearms, I've had it 15-20 years and well over 20,000 round through mine with ONE stove-pipe (my fault), The

The longest gone without cleaning was about 8 months when it was rotated into a back-pack I always carry, and to keep 'mussel memory' it shot 150 rounds/month (no cleaning) with the last set of ten 40 round extended mags putting down no more than a 3 inch circle at 70 feet slow fire. Given a match barrel/slide/ mags (illegal for CA (extended threaded barrel and five 20 rd extended mags)

thought I'd see what happened if I 'heated it up' - loaded up 25 boxes of 50 at +1/2P and while my arm was tired, not a hint of even coming CLOSE to a jam after 1250 rounds without stopping except to re-load and rest my arm or find a more interesting target - dropped mags on ground of small gravel/ fine sand also shot prone from that surface -- misfires =0, first target at 70 feet had (no practice) 4.5 inch group of 2 mags -- last 2 mags 4 inch group opening to the right.

For my money, give me my sig and ammo as a side arm. Have only had about 3K rounds of 257 sig through that barrel which was broken in correctly like my first sig 9mm slide bbl. Put 500 rounds through it in about an hour one day, first 2 mags at 1.755 inch grouping slow-fire, second grouping of 2 mags just over 3 inches slow fire at 70-75 feet. No jams -- same frame just different slide/bbl sitting on top. No factory work at all, just home cleaning and sometimes an overnight soak in kerosene.

Nope, not paid for by sig - though would someone tell them so they might THINK about their tricked out match P-226!!!! PLEASE!!!! CALIBER doesn't seem to matter, hand or UMC load doesn't seem to matter - the bluing looks like poop since I sanded it off to engrave it, changed my mind, and just use Pacmyer grips and have a pair of unmounted sig-night-lights. So you go figure what you want -- accuracy quick-swap-n-clean, and longevity with reliability, or the brand-(placement)-du jour.
