The Gun Counter

I should have it in my sweaty mitts some time next week. I've wanted a Sig BAD since the 80's. It was that or a 226, and the 229 feels slightly better in my hands, not entirely sure why.

So tell me what I need to know.

You're gonna' LOVE it!

I love my 226, but now want one in .45, so who knows, I might buy me one of their transformers to get all those calibers. I love NO SAFETY and an awesome hammer release that's not scary to use.

When you get the money, send it to Bruce Gray at Gray Guns in Oregon. He did great things to my P226.

I don't know how applicable it is in NJ (you can always get a non-res permit and carry on excursions to the Free States.), but you have to watch the hammer on a Sig in a holster. If you wiggle around just right, sometimes the hammer gets snagged and will cock. Personally, I prefer to carry mine in a shoulder holster. If I ever go back to carrying it on my hip, I'd probably use a thumb break holster. It will also help keep the hammer from chewing a hole in your cover garment.

I have one and I like it allot. The only modification I have done to it is to add night sites. My only real complaint is that after a while the grips are not a grippy as I would like. Both Hogue and Sig now make some cross hatched metal grips that would probably work well, but there both significantly north of $100.

What about just a Hogue Hand-all sleeve? Much less expensive.

FYI, I've been trying to get Hogue recheckered stock grips since November -- I may just have bad luck w. Hogue, though.

I just picked up a 226 DAK last week, the trigger is great. I can't wait to get it out to the range.

I'd been wondering what someone who wasn't a paid shill thought of the double action-Kellerman trigger. Any chance of a full write up?

One particular thing I was wondering, is what grease do people recommend for the slide rails?

Oh, and what do people think of the Hogue G10 grips? I have to say when I heard of those, I got *excited*.

I use Enos' light slide glide or super lube. I'm quite fond of both, but I have switched to slide glide now.
