Hickok45 Hates This About The SIG 229

[@wassermutt7805]

I like the DA/SA function. To me it is an extra level of safety with the longer pull. And I like the all metal construction, don't know why, just personal preference. I have two throw backs to the brick era, the P226 and a 4013TSW. Both good shooters, but with the higher bore axis they are snappy.

[@timetraveler1973]

thats based. im the same way. my favorite carry gun which i wish i could find for the 90 bucks i got it... hungarian PA-63 in makarov. had alluminum / titanium alloy frame. decocker / safety . and a 20 pound first trigger pull... fixed that with a cheap 6 dollar wolf spring kit though. straight blowback super accurate. basically a soviet knockoff of the ppk but lighter weight.

[@Therealguymins]

Same here. I don't really like handguns without hammers on them. Feels like I'm losing a feature instead of gaining one.

I'm tired of the complaining about "different" trigger pulls... I hate and refuse to carry a "Striker Fired" handgun. I love my 40 cal. beretta. I do however enjoy his channel. Keep up the good work Hickock! Glad you found a compromise with the new "Gun" restrictions for sponsors...

I bought this gun the first year it was produced. I still have it. I put some night sights on it and got me some Mec-Gar 14 round magazines. It's a great gun. A little chunky, heavy double action trigger, but all in all a great gun. It will always be in my collection.

[@sabre1zero803]

I'm not a Glock accolyte, even though I own one (G23) and I also own a P229 in .40. When I taught a lot, I'd take both and let the inexperienced shooters try both. Particularly if I had one expressing an unqualified opinion about the Glock. To a person, whomever I did that with dropped the Glock and stated their preference for the SIG. I agreed. I've had the Glock 20 years now and the SIG 26 years. As a SIG and Glock armorer, they've both been tweaked a bit but retain the factory springs and internals. As a shooter, I'll take the SIG every time. I don't have to think about it.

I am a big 1911 fan for a lot of reasons but have always been drawn to the Sig226/229 design. I recently picked up an Sig P229 SAO (single action only) functions like the 1911 cocked and locked but in a 229 frame. Would love to see Hickock review that one!

[@michaelolin2219]

My last two purchases were H&K. If I had bought the P30 as my first pistol ever, there’s a chance, albeit a small one, I may have never bought another one. It’s that good. Got it after I got the HK45.

[@pickleeater3102]

I bought a Honda Accord two years ago; still using it as my daily driver.

[@HSmith-uk9hl]

I have a P229 in 40 S&W. It's in excellent condition but it's also one of the most inaccurate handguns I own. Calling it "combat accurate" would be gilding the lily. I purchased a P228 "kit" from a stripped down former LE pistol with all the parts except the frame and, after changing the locking block, installed the P228 upper on the P229 frame. Now it has the accuracy one would expect from a Sig.

[@todoubled7970]

I agree with you Hickok. I’m a rookie and novice to firearms but still DO NOT like DA/SA. I have the Sig P226 Legion and made sure to purchase it in SAO.

[@montelinn5897]

If you can disengage the safety on a 1911 or a Hi Power while drawing from a holster, you should be able to pull the hammer back on a 229 while drawing

Da/Sa or grip safety are seen as a disadvantage by some and an advantage by me. I like to carry appendix and a little extra safety margin is a good thing imho.

[@LatestHour]

It's, without a doubt, a proven, reliable workhorse. I just don't know anybody who would choose it as their first choice.

[@hatchetjack1031]

Some people think nothing of carrying a Glock, w/ a chambered round, in a pocket or purse. Like the " safe action trigger" can't be pulled. I like the Da/Sa system for a carry gun. If you think the DA pull is difficult...PRACTICE MORE!

[@johndilday1846]

The double action was intended to make the guns safer by means of the heavier pull. Complaining about the difference in trigger pulls between single and double action kind of misses the point. I always like the double action triggers as it made safeties unnecessary back in the day. But I am an old guy and the striker fired guns are all the rage now. Training helps, but folks don’t like to train the same as they used to.

You can cock it as it is coming out of the holster like you would any single action revolver.

[@peterrussell798]

Thumb cocking as part of the draw would be a really stupid thing to do. Better to just learn how to shoot DA/SA. That long DA pull is really not that hard to learn. I love my Beretta 92x and my P226 and 229. Then I’m ancient enough that I learned on revolvers so a DA pull is just an old friend. 😂

[@markmeyer5618]

Hey Hickock I know this is not the right video but what did you think of loading the kel tech pmr30

[@milansekularac6196]

Why is this any less safe holstered then a Glock with a hot round in the chamber? Btw Beretta has a thumb safety / decocker

[@MrSbigden]

It's not less safe

[@al01100]

There is no trigger safety and the single action pull on a sig is much lighter with virtually no travel to release the hammer. I am careful holstering any loaded gun but I would never attempt to holster a cocked and loaded sig. I remember seeing hickock holster a cocked sig in one of his videos, I think it was a 226, and I held my breath as he was doing it! It doesn't take much to trip the sear on a broken in sig in single action!

[@milansekularac6196]

@@al01100 true. I never understood the glock-style trigger safety. Correct me if I am missing it's point, please? Tge gun may unintentionally discharge if something presses on the trigger, say clothes while holstering. I don't see how trifgger safety helps there.

I still have the gun but it is really sloppy now, god only knows how many thousands of rounds i put through it over the years!

I have a SIG P220, and really like it. I just wish it had a cocked and locked feature like the 1911 or the Beretta. Kamala for President!!! :)

[@paulsimmons5726]

I’ve shot these a great deal and my real gripe was every time I passed 400-500 rds in a range trip, the gun’s slide would start grabbing the frame and feeling like it was binding. In fact, my Sig locked up twice and needed to be seen by the agency armorer; luckily it only locked up on the range and not while I was in the field! I was relieved when my agency moved to Glocks, a much more reliable running pistol. I know a bunch of folks like their Sigs but from my experience of carrying one for 5 years, I’ll take a Glock anytime!

[@dbmail545]

I feel ya. There's an easy fix to that problem but it's nice to have a pistol that doesn't need fixing out of the box.

@@Pappy7064 I have never seen anyone carry a SAA cocked have you? A DA/SA auto is carried hammer down on a loaded chamber like a DA revolver. Normally you draw the weapon and pull the DA trigger thus the differing trigger pull. Now when drawing a SAA one cocks the hammer when coming on target. If you do the same with the auto pistol you now have consistent SA trigger pulls. This is no more dangerous than carrying a SAA hammer down on an empty chamber and no slower that carrying a 1911 cocked and locked.
