Two-tone SIG pistols turn heads, and the seller of this used P229R believes it is the rare two-tone Combat version. It is chambered in 9mm, with a 3.9 inch barrel, a 15 round capacity and a flat dark earth and black finish.

The R in the name signals a Picatinny-style rail under the dust cover, so you can mount a light or laser. The P229 is a compact cousin of the P226. It has a metal frame and a hammer-fired double-action/single-action trigger.

The seller states that it is gun only, with no box and one magazine. They describe it as in very good condition with only light signs of firing and use. It is used and sold as described, so read the photos closely for the finish and the sights. Plan to buy a spare magazine or two.

The P229R in a rare finish could be a nice find for a collector, but it also works well as a carry gun or a bedside pistol. The size is manageable, and the weight steadies the 9mm's recoil. Check the slide movement, decocker and magazine release when it arrives. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, where you finish the background check and take delivery.
