Description
BTL Supply is pleased to offer SIG P229 pistols in .40 S&W, traded in by a New Jersey police department and now offered to the civilian market. These are classic SIGARMS-era P229s, with a stainless slide marked SIGARMS Inc., Exeter, New Hampshire and a German-made frame, from before the accessory rail. They're DA/SA guns that served as duty pistols, and they show plenty of honest service wear.

Background
SIG Sauer built its reputation on the P220 and P226, which set the standard for reliable, accurate DA/SA service pistols. When the .40 S&W became the hot new police cartridge in the early 1990s, SIG answered with the P229. It's a compact service pistol with a heavy, machined steel slide built to stand up to the .40's snappy recoil. It quickly became one of the most trusted duty pistols in American law enforcement, carried by federal, state and local agencies across the country.
These pistols come from the SIGARMS era, when SIG's U.S. operation was based in Exeter, New Hampshire, before the company took the SIG Sauer name in 2007. They pair an American-made stainless slide with a German-made frame, and they have the classic rail-free frame that many SIG fans still prefer. They're a piece of American police history from the years when the P229 in .40 was a standard duty gun.
The DA/SA system gives you a long, deliberate double action first shot, then a short single action pull for follow-up shots. The frame-mounted decocker lowers the hammer safely, with no manual safety to remember. It's a proven combination that made the P229 a favorite of officers who wanted a duty gun they could trust.
