P229 Combat Questions

Aluminum alloy frame.

And anodized color. Not a top-coat of anything.

Could be anodized or cerakote or both

Yup, the Combat SIGs are like this.

Nice color combo in your picture. I've seen some of these that are green(ish) which isn't so
attractive.

Looks like a true 1913 spec rail not the lame Sig proprietary rail, similar to the Mk25s.

Here is my Combat family. Two pictures to show how the finish can look under different lighting.

NICE!! I see what you mean about the color too. Almost goes from FDE to gold.

I have always wanted the 229 Combat just never been able to find one.

Description

This is a used Sig Sauer P229 Combat semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9mm. It features a 3.9-inch barrel, stainless steel slide with a black nitron finish, SigLite night sights, front/rear slide serrations, hammer decocker, polymer grip panels, and a steel frame with a flat dark earth finish.

Nope.

Of course it depends on the lighting you use, as GBIA has shown with his photos. My P226 Combat in sunlight seems to have a greenish tinted gold look to it.

I feel the anodized frame finish is more durable, than the Cerakoted ones, but "tactically" the Cerakoted ones would have less sheen, than the anodized frames, so would less likely reflect sunlight, if that mattered.
