I got the SIGs out today for some TLC time. That led to some grip swapping, some bore wear exams, and then some "point' comparisons. I usually have the SIGs out one or two at a time for shooting or cleaning but today they all got to come out for fresh air.
What surprised me today was how my old favorites (P225, P228, and P245) are so similar in size but if I picked one up in the dark I would know which one it was.
P225
Length = 7.28”
Height = 5.0”
Width = 1.34”
Weight = 27.5
Barrel = 3.9”
P228
Length = 7.1”
Height =5.4”
Width = 1.5”
Weight = 26.1
Barrel = 3.9”
P245
Length = 7.1”
Height = 5.2”
Width = 1.3”
Weight = 26.1”
Barrel = 3.9”
When I stacked these on top of each other and stood them side by side, they really are this close in size. The P225 with Nill grips wins the "feel and point" contest hands down.
The P232 and P239 are smaller than these other three above and are easier for me to carry and conceal. But I think I have decided to switch to the P225 as my main carry for a while.
The P228 feels a lot better than the P229 for some reason... they are almost identical except for the slides, but I guess that is enough.
Oops... gotta go to Long John Silvers for lunch... mmmm
