Range Report: Sig 229 E2 9mm

[U.S. Patriot]

All I can say is wow. The Sig met and exceeded my expectations. I have only shot one other Sig, a 226 9mm.

1. Weight: The weight is perfect, and the balance is outstanding.
2. Feel: It felt like an extensions of my arms.
3. Recoil: The recoil was very light and easily managed.
4. Trigger. The DA was short and smooth. The SA was short and crisp.

I ran 100 rounds of 115 grain Georgia Arms, and 15 rounds of 147 grain Winchester Ranger SXT. The slide did not lock back on 4-5 occasions, but the gun was unfired, so I attest it to the recoil spring being stiff. If have the money, and you want an outstanding pistol. I would highly recommend one. It is going to be my full size carry gun from now on.

Here is a pic, rounds where fired at 7 yards. One mag from my Sig, and one mag from Cru's M&P 9c. The wind was gusting pretty hard at times.

Nice, I have a P229 in 40 SW. Recoil is more than the 9mm, but still shoot great.

I was at the atterbury range today. Other than the wind it was fantastic!

The slide not locking back on Sig's is usually due to the location of the slide release being right by the shooters thumb.

My Sig's never lock back unless I make an effort to move my thumb out of the way.
