The premise of this thread is that modern concealed carry needs have evolved beyond to what the legacy P229 has to offer. While this may be true, we must acknowledge that the P229 has also evolved. For example the P229 SAO Legion RXP (optics cut) is itself a significant evolution in the platform. Yes, it’s still heavy and thick. However, it is also an amazing SAO trigger (crisp 4lb break with short reset) and seamlessly interfaces with Sig’s Romeo X Pro and Romeo 2 optics. By seamless interface, I mean no plate and visible, standard height sights is a huge plus for those of us who don’t want suppressor height sights or the uncertainty of a plate on a carry gun.
