Sorry, but if you’re complaining about the stock double action trigger pull, you’re missing the point of a DA/SA gun, and you should probably stick to striker fired, or 1911 style guns. That long, heavy double action pull exists for a reason, which is SAFETY , in order to prevent an accidental discharge on a duty gun without a manual, external safety, so that the firearm can remain in condition one ( ready to be fired) while maintaining a higher level of safety. So, yes it’s a compromise, but it’s a purposeful one, and it doesn’t merit a complaint because the design was intentional. If you’re complaining about that, it just means you don’t understand the purpose for a DA/SA gun, which means you’re not much of a gun person.
Also easily replace springs and sear kit (I did) and it 100% changes the gun. Plus I like completely dismantling a gun after the first few mags to learn it's inner working and keep clean/lube it.
As a retired Air Marshal. That LONG DOUBLE ACTION you said takes 10 guys to pull... Is rediculous. It is for a purpose and that's for safety. This 229 is an amazing firearm in which Air Marshal, CIA, FBI, DEA All Carry and we don't complain about the long hard pull. It's part of the conditioning, part of the job.
@@c2protect FBI issues Glock Gen 5 models. CIA general issue is the Glock 19. Secret Service has switched to the optics mounted Gen 5 Glock platform as well. Air Marshals carry the Glock 19 along with the P229. DEA issue the Glock 17, and Glock 19. You have failed.
Yeah I don't know what this guy is talking about, and if you mess with your trigger and use your gun in a selfdefense situation you will look very bad in court so maybe he's just going to use the gun at the range.
Magazine disconnect issue is a real problem. I had a debris stuck on the retention lever of the mag disconnect, and ii had to press the holder with the pin to move the magazine. The debris was due to badly clamp pressed reloaded ammo.
Not being disrespectful, but folks have shot double action revolvers for years with great success with heavier than 10 lb triggers. It just takes consistent practice. I prefer double action only to da/sa, but every one has preferences. I shoot both striker fired and double action.
Just to let you know: If you use your gun in a selfdefense situation you don't want to touch your trigger so the sig's stock trigger works good for selfdefense.
Nothing to see here. A gen Xer who loves striker fire plastic. He should not waste his whining on a precision engineered P22x line of pistols. Move along.....
My P229 recently chipped a part of the frame off where the mag release resides. The firearm is now a paperweight as taking a magazine out will cause the magazine catch/release to fall out. Sig never fails to disappoint! I guess I'll be going back to my Glock 32 for carry. FYI, I never replaced or messed with the magazine catch or any internals.
How the actual f did you manage to chip a metal frame? Were you using it to drive spikes for the railroad? Its a gun bro not a hammer stop beating things with it.
You sir, are clueless about DA/SA firearms. I don't even know where to start..........
I agree. He does not know proper DA technique. And this guy is a trainer.

Nothing says not knowing about a firearms operating system like complaining a DA/SA trigger.
I have the 229 legion and the trigger is butter! Love mine as an EDC piece.

My 229 DA is 8 lbs. DA, 4 lbs. SA out of the box- in other words- perfect.
What a female cat you are sir
I guess you had nothing else to talking about. So you blame it on the 229. The p229 is nothing wrong with it. I also have p228 wonderful guns. Thank.

@@LooxJJ Don't.
Buy California compliant garbage.
10lb trigger pull !? lmaooo 😂😂
I use a bone stock 229 w an optic to compete with and do well. Ya cant beat them for out of the box ready to go.
This is why you don't solicit "expert advice" from competitive shooters about carry guns.
I bought the p229 and it shoots like a dream.
Yah, I can't think of one good reason either..
Lol.
Love the 229.
We also have a video on why TO buy one... coming soon if not already out. ;]
Yea, I really like the P229 and P226. I teach and train with them everyday!
229 226 is some of the most legendary most proven reliable if you want a non da get SAO worth it.

The DA/SA feature is a safety mechanism, as you well know. Train with the weapon! The federal government trains all day with these 229's etc.
Nothing like hearing a potentially deadly ricochet going on in the background as he starts talking.
Click bait
Need help guys. I have the p229 but I can’t find any holster for it. I tried every company that sells holster. Hopefully this channel can help me out

Maybe you need ten guys….. I have a 226 and 229, both manufactured in the mid 90’s. I wouldn’t trade either for a truck load of new garbage Sig makes.
there great but I prefer my police trade ins converted one to 357 sig great shooters do not trust and will not get a 320 my 226,229 and 239 awesome
Novice.
Liked the video. Bought one anyway. CA compliance is where it’s at bruh

Well at least there is no major concern coz we can remove MD but yeah LCI I will just leave it
Just stick to Glock if you don't understand it.

@@codyworley5623 He must be a Marine 😂
😂😂😂😂 i stopped watching when he said it takes 10 guys to press the da. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@chronoace1970 he wants ten guys to squeeze off his round
why is batman talking about firearms?
My Buddy almost shot me in the head with a striker fire, definitely his fault for bad gun handling but would’ve never happened with a da/sa
How many guys? Too many superhero movies….
What sun glasses are you wearing?
