P229 EE 9mm - Love It!
I got this pistol probably a year ago and only have a few hundred rounds through it. It's my HD gun so it stays in it's spot undisturbed most of the time. I went to the range yesterday to "exercise" it a little. Man I forgot how sweet of a shooter this thing is.
Funny thing, when I first got it, I was 100% convinced the sights were off, it was shooting tight groups low/left. I was going to shoot it and take it in for adjustment / new sights. Well, it was dead on this time once I settled down and got into a rhythm. Lesson learned - it's hardly ever the sights!
I put a good 300 rounds through it, various types of ammo, not a single hiccup. Man this this thing's a quality gun. I wish I enjoyed carrying it more (just can't get comfortable with the size). I can't imagine a better gun to have on you if ****.
I carry a 938 which is a fine gun too, and much more comfortable. I'm far more likely to carry the 938 regularly. I really wish I had the means to try carrying a 239. That would be a nice compromise between the two I have now. Anyone carry a 938 and 229 and 239 that could offer comparison / thoughts?

Good to hear. The P229EE was my first gun purchase three years ago. It is my HD also. I ended up purchasing the P239SAS for EDC and I love both guns. Enjoy!

Been kinda going back and forth between a Stainless Elite P226 and a P229 for the little womans nightstand. I'm sure she would like the smaller P229 better but the P226 would be better at the range. Either one of those or a CZ SP-01.........or all of them!

Those are my light, medium and heavy carry pieces depending on weather/attire. My 229 is the M11A1 so it's less the beavertail and rail which I prefer but still it takes a heavy shirt or coat to conceal for me. But I find it comfortable IWB @ 3:00. Most of the time the 229 is on bedside HD duty.
The P239 in 357 gets the most carry. It conceals well even with light shirts and is comfortable as well. IMO, a good balance in weight, size and caliber. An accurate and reliable shooter for sure. With an extra mag on board I don't feel I'm giving up that much when the 229 stays behind.
When it gets too hot and the wardrobe gets too light, I've got the P938. Great size/weight but to be honest, if there was a DA/SA SIG option that came close to it, it would be gone.
