Sig P229 SCT 9x19

Review and thoughts on the Sig Sauer P229 SCT in 9mm. It comes with four 18 rd magazines. The only design issue with this weapon is the front sight. Sig has chosen to put TruGlo TFO (tritium fiber optic) front sights on several weapons including this one. The sights current design is flawed in my opinion. There is the potential for the fiber optic rod to fly out of the front sight housing during firing or even just normal handling. At first I thought I really liked this sight setup; after a while I started to notice the fiber rod wiggling around in the metal housing. After some research I have found several instances of these sights falling apart and the operator being left with no night sighting capability. That is just unacceptable. I don't use this weapon as a carry piece so it was not a high priority to replace the front sight. Now that I have finished a few other projects I will replace the sights on this weapon with Trijicon tritium sights. Other than the front sight issue, this is an excellent weapon.
