Any further updates on the P229? I eventually want to get one to A/B against the P226, but I'm a little concerned about being a first adopter on the new extractor. Have you had any issues?
I have 5,000 rounds through a slide (from the 9mm x-change kits that were released before the E2 shipped) with the new extractor. No issues, wish I could tell you more but I switched to the M&P series shortly after I got the new slide.
I'm at 1400 rounds, that's 1 months worth of time and 5 range sessions.
I had four of instances where, during slow fire, the short reset wasn't short. I seem to have successfully cured my 226 of this problem, so I'm hopeful I can fix the 229 as well. It's just a simple stone/polish of the safety lever.
All good data. Thanks guys.
Last night I noticed that my front sight is dead.
Guess it's time to figure out what I'm going to do for replacement sights ... I need something fairly soon.
The Heinie 335P sights (.190" front) raise the POI 2" (@ 15Y) over the factory 8/8 sights. The ones designed for the 229, part number 338P, should maintain the same POI since they have a taller front sight (.210"). My gun was hitting 1.5" low @ 15Y with the 8/8 and a center hold. It was POA/POI with a drive-the-dot sight picture - which drives me nuts.
I know there aren't many Sig shooters around here, but there's a lack of good data points for POA/POI with Heinie sights.

I'm a bit of a Sig geek. They're mandated for work so I've done my best to embrace them for training/competetive shooting too. Re the discussion; I have a couple 226s in 9mm. One is my duty pistol and the other is a trainer/game gun. Both came printing "behind the dot" with 8/8 Mepros. I remedied the situation on the former with Straight eights (.220 rear/.190 front) and POI is at the top of the blade at 20 yards. The other wears a Warren rear (.180 tall) and a .150 tall Dawson FO up front. It also prints at the top of the FSP at 20 yards. I don't know if that helps you or not, but I figured I'd come out of lurking mode and put it out there.

Thanks. I was wondering about the Warrens, I have one - but haven't mounted it yet.
do you still have the p30?i'd like to try it out sometime.
