The 229 Sport pistol features a heavier Sauer match grade target barrel, ported muzzle brake compensator with expansion chamber, rear adjustable LPA sight, high profile front sight, extended controls, extended magazine base plate, action tuned trigger, and Hogue rubber grips. These pistols are hand assembled and hand fitted in Germany by one of Sig's master gunsmiths. The frame is precision machined from a solid block of stainless steel.The overall fit, finish, and smoothness of these pistols are flawless. I have two sports, one in .40 S&W with a handfitted 357 sig conversion barrel, and the other in 357 sig. The .40 S&W recoil is almost nonexistant, while the 357 sig is very mild. My only wish is that these pistols could have 1911 triggers. The rigid stainless frames and slides of these pistols have such smoothness in their operation and very solid feel. I wish I could find a 1911 with these frames, slides, and barrels.

I ended up with a Walther, but the Sig sport line was one I was looking closely at when I first got into handguns.

...MLB; The Colts and The S&W Revolvers was my first choice, but, I always wanted a German Walther PPK , with factory wooden grips, to complete my movie guns ;D ( Vintage 007 the first 4).....We can Thank LBJ's "Gun Control Act of 1968" for making the German PPK a rarity in this country.
