Are SAR guns any good?
The SAR 9 9mm pistol illustrated has come together with good features, making it among the most desirable handguns on the market based on reliability, usefulness and economy. The pistol isn’t cheap, but it is affordable compared to the GLOCK, HK and Walther. Yet it gives up little to these pistols in performance.
What is the difference SIG P228 or P229?
Unlike the P228, which was basically a shrunken 226 and designed to fire 9mm only, the 229 was designed from the ground up to fire the then-new .40 S&W. As a result, the P229 is a little bit heavier and more robust construction-wise. It’s also available in 9mm and .357 SIG. AFAIK, the 9mm magazines are interchangeable between the P228 and the P229.
