Sig Sauer P229 With Remanufactured Barrel: The Sig Sauer P229 comes in two styles, the single action and the double action trigger. The Sig Sauer P229 with the single action trigger has a front clip magazine which can be loaded with one or two capsules of ammo. When the trigger is squeezed, the hammer falls and the gun fires a single action shot. However, the second model of this Sig Sauer P229 with the double action trigger has a magazine that can hold three capsules of ammo.

Sig Sauer P229 With Crossfeed: The Sig Sauer P229 has a magazine release latch that allows it to have a comfortable grip when the slide is released. It has a crossfeed design that feeds the handgun roundly, similar to the feeding system on a semi-automatic handgun. The crossfeed is designed to fire a round whenever the handgun is in motion. This feature is known as "shortarming" because it provides the user with rapid firing even though the shooter is not pointing the firearm directly at the target.

Sig Sauer P229 Enhanced Compact: The Sig Sauer P229 Enhanced compact model has an easy grip thanks to its textured grip material. There is also a rubberized grip for added comfort. This model is the smallest of all three models manufactured by Sig Sauer. This version also has a trigger with a fingerguard that allows for a more secure grip. The Sig Sauer P229 has a comfortable grip and can handle regular duty handguns.

Sig Sauer P229 with a Thumb Assist: As the Sig Sauer P229 is an automatic pistol, it is manufactured with a thumb assist. This helps the operator to have more control over the firearm when the need arises. The thumb aid is located on the top of the trigger and is designed to allow the operator to have easy access to the thumb when the trigger is squeezed. This feature makes the pistol comfortable to hold. Even after years of carrying around this gun, I still appreciate having the thumb support when I need to have my finger on the trigger.

All of these features make the Sig Sauer P229 a favorite among hunters and airsoft enthusiasts. If you are looking for a pistol that will fit your needs as far as size, weight, and capabilities go, this is the one to consider. If you are a hunter, this is the pistol that you will want to own.
