Got to take it to the range for the first time this week, think I like the gun better
In .357 than in .40 S&W it came in. Thanks to a recommendation for some very affordable .357 Sig ammo another member shared on the forum , I look forward
To shooting it some more. Just curious if others have found this particular
gun "Sig 229C " very comfortable to shoot in .357 Sig.

I dont have the 229C but I do have the 224. My 40 barrel stays in a box while the 357 stays in th gun.

I lucked into a P229 (well used) in .40. Before I even fired it, I ordered and received a .357 Sig barrel for it. Took it out and enjoyed shooting her. Now waiting on the money to send it in for new sites and springs, checkout, SRT or QRT etc.....

P229 is my carry weapon and has always been at the top of my list to shoot.

The P229C I had was chambered in 357 SIG and was a very comfortable and reliable shooter.

Unfortunately, the 40 S&W barrel I purchased which SIG fitted and the 9mm exchange kit which SIG also fitted would not run reliably (40 failed to feed and the 9mm failed to eject). SIG attempted several times to fix it and ended up replacing the pistol and exchange kit with an M11A1 and 357 CALX kit. Was sad to let the 229C go but very pleased with the replacement.

Good stuff. My first Sig was a P229 Legion .357 and its still my favorite. I alternate it and my P239 SAS Gen2 .357 for carry.

One of my favorites.

P229c in .357 is my favorite Sig! 100% reliability and feels great in the hand. And highly accurate

I have the 229C in 9mm. Is the frame the same for the 40 and 357 models as well? Wondering if I can fit a 357 sig barrel on it and use it. I know on the other models the 9mm frame is different from the 40/357 ones.

I just got the .357 barrel for my 224. Just ran the first 50 rounds through it. Love it!

You cannot drop in a 357 barrel into a 9mm slide. The 9mm barrel hood is not as wide as the 40/357. You can go the other way around. I have a 224 that started as a 40 and I keep a 357 barrel in it. I also have a 9mm 224 and I have put that barrel into my 40 slide with no problems.
