SIG P229 vs. Kimber Ultra Carry II

[petersonb]

Like others have said, if it's a 357 SIG or 40, then sell it to me and get the Kimber.

In all seriousness, I don't have a Kimber but I love all my P229's. A P229 SCT in 40, with a Lasemax, is my carry gun.

It's the .40S&W but at this point, I guess I'd be a fool to switch to a Kimber. Really, there's nothing I don't like about the SIG.

It's cool to know that I have a decent gun. It's the first and only handgun I own. I'm not even 21, I have lots of life ahead of me.... plenty of time to try a Kimber later on down the road

Without question keep the Sig!

Throw the Sig in the trash. In fact, if you let me know when you're ready to do so, I will personally make sure it is properly disposed of.

Never shot the Sig P229 but I have a Kimber Elipse Ultra II and I really like it. Besides, 9mm is for those who squat to pee :-)

Everyone seems to like my Eclipse Custom, funny part is I traded a Sigpro 40S&W in for it,lol. Probably wouldnt have if it had been a p226 or p229.

I have both; I traded for a new Kimber Ultra Carry II with night sights -- Had some initial problems at first; I went out to shoot it the first time; the first 21 round hit on target, where I was aiming; then the next 7 I didn't hit the target -- felt like Gary Cooper in Sgt York -- "You mean I didn't hit that big old target". The front sight had come loose and was sliding in the dovetail; sent slide to Kimber; came back shoots great. The P229 I bought used 10 years ago; very accurate; puts some Hogue rubber grips on; Trijicon night sights -- works great.

Keep the Sig; save your money and get a Kimber -- You will probably change your mind on which one to get -- So many choices.

I have a Kimber pro cdp and I love it. I hardly think you'd "be a fool" to get one.

I think that depends on if he's selling a P229 to get it.

It would be OK if he was selling the P229 to get a P220!!!

I had a Kimber Ultra Crimson CarryII and it was the most awful firing, jamming gun I've ever owned. Heres the deal, Kimber was a great company that made respectable guns 5 years ago. Once they started mass producing them the quality went down the tube. I have been told this very same thing by gun dealers who have been around for years. Kimbers are a very attractive gun and still very pricey but the bottom line is that the quality isnt what it once was. I sold mine and bought a Springfield EMP. It's awesome
