Agreed with all sentiments above as I carry a departmentally issued P229R. Have you considered the revised P229 E2? My armorer recently got a few in and allowed me to plink a few rounds off at our range.

Sig claims a 60% reduction trigger reset, it's definitely shorter but I don't know that I'd say 60%. That said, the trigger on the E2 is leaps and bounds above the standard P229.

Looking on paper, the dimensions and weight are identical. However being that I carry the P229R almost every day, the E2 felt somewhat lighter, the backstrap fit my hand much better and the E2 felt like the P229 just came back from a 6 month diet with all the unnecessary pork trimmed off.

Overall, I believe Sig took the few mediocre parts of the P229 and improved them all.

YMMV
