The P229 in .357 SIG brings the SEAL-trusted P229 frame to the high-velocity bottlenecked cartridge. It uses the .40 S&W slide with a .357 SIG barrel, as both cartridges share the same case head dimensions. The US Secret Service ran .357 SIG P229s for years, preferring its consistent feeding and terminal performance for protective duty. One of the most capable carry combinations ever fielded by a US agency.
