Not sure if anyone said it, but I was impressed with your groupings. Nice shooting Z. I just finished my W&C qualification with 100%, but it didn't look like that!
Thank you.

My 228 is the very first firearm I was able to afford in December 1993. Haven't shot this in a while though. There was a time that all that I had were all Sigs. Still currently has this 228 together with a 226 Elite and 220 Elite.
Plus, how fun is it to press that trigger while extending out for that first shot?
I had always lacked confidence in my ability to land a first DA shot accurately until I attended Camp Blaster the week before last and I learned that with practice and the right pistol, that dreaded DA first shot can be just as good as all the SA shots that follow. The M11-A1 is definitely the right gun. Paired with an instructor who carried a P229 on-duty for several years, I was able to experience its full capability as a defensive sidearm. I was damn impressed. I like my CZ's and 1911's but, this new Sig has given me several reasons to re-think my preferences.
You mean like this one?The real reason for the P229 was to be capable of handling .40 ( and .357Sig ) , at which point making an otherwise identical stamped slide for 9mm was redundant .
My favorite 9mm pistol is my W.German P225 . ( Not P-6 , but civilian P225 ) Best DA pull of any DA auto I've fired , the expected Sig accuracy , and full length single stacks feel great in the hand .
But alas , with the great change over to milled slides, the P225 was discontinued instead .

It's just a nice tactile feel of knowing what is going to happen.
Plus it buys a little time to get aiming in.
The whole ritual of decocking to high ready then scanning. It's definitely in my blood.
