P229 manual

The slide remains open when the last round in the magazine is fired. After switching magazines, press downward on the slide stop to release the slide and chamber a round. Magazines will fall free when released. There is no magazine disconnect, so the pistol will fire without a magazine inserted. The front lever is not a safety, but a de-cocking lever. With a round chambered and the hammer fully cocked, a downward press on the de-cocker safely lowers the hammer.

The gun now has the hammer down with a live round in the chamber. There is an internal firing pin block which prevents the firing pin from reaching the primer of the chambered round unless the trigger is pressed fully to the rear. In this condition, the gun will not fire even if dropped directly on the hammer. This is also the proper condition in which to carry the holstered pistol. After drawing, the user may either thumb cock the hammer not recommended or fire the first round with a long double action pull, without disengaging a manual safety.

Successive rounds will be fired single action, in that the hammer is cocked as the slide recoils to the rear to eject the spent casing and chamber a fresh round from the magazine. After firing, the pistol may then be returned to its original condition by pressing down on the de-cocking lever and re-holstering.

Both levers can be actuated by the thumb of the firing hand without shifting your grip. I am not aware if a left-handed version exists. Shooting the. Recoil of grain loads is more noticeable than that from grain loads. The bore axis of a SIG is a little higher than that on a Glock, but the recoil is easily managed if the shooter keeps the wrist of the firing hand locked and uses a firm grip. Reliability is absolute.

The ejection port is full wraparound, extending over the entire top of the slide, as well as down the right hand side. The constant 5. No hard double action first shot. The trigger reset is also shorter on the Glock. The initial double action trigger-pull of the SIG at 10 pounds takes some getting used to. The grips on my SIG are very comfortable, and the texture gives a very sure grip.

The Glock grip is plainer but also very comfortable. It has finger grooves and improved texture over earlier generations. Both guns are well-suited for a two-handed grip, and fill my large hands very nicely, though with the shorter handled Glock, I need to add a magazine grip extender to properly grip it. The Glock 19 Gen 4 has backstraps which allows you to customize the handle to your grip. Both guns feel nice in my large hands, though there is something to be said about the solid metal feel of the SIG.

On the SIG, the slide release sometimes can be bumped during recoil, but this is rarely truly an issue. The Glock design must be gotten used to though. The grip angle is weird for many people, and while combat accurate, the Glock is probably not as intrinsically accurate as the SIG without serious practice, because of the grip angle, people tend to shoot high.

The slides I find are equally easy to rack. Both have slide grooves that give enough traction. Doubtless for many this is a deciding factor. The P can be nearly double the price of the Glock, and the magazines are a bit more expensive. Though to get the most out of the Glock, you might need to spend a bit on buying better sights, for example, till you get it to the standard you want, so just keep that in mind.

Still, the initial price of a brand new Glock is much more appealing. The availability of OEM Glock 19 accesories is mind boggling — anything seems possible. On the other hand, though the SIG requires less customization, it is still more difficult to find parts.

There is less of a supply out there — as there are fewer SIGs than Glocks out there as well. That being said, keep in mind that there are over 10 models of the P While Glock assigns individual model numbers to guns with different calibers, Sig Sauer keeps the same model designation regardless of the caliber.

You can order a P chambered in 9mm,. The Glock is also available in. If that was not enough, you can also get a Glock 38 in. The Glock 19 does not have the same variants as the P, but it is available in several variations: the older Glock 19s you usually will not encounter the gen 1 and 2, but 3 is still pretty common , the Glock 19 Gen 4, and the new Glock 19 MOS.

The Gen 4 has improved grip texture, replaceable backstraps, a new recoil spring design, and improvements to the magazine release. The MOS model allows you to mount a red dot sight directly to the top of the slide, for those who want that. I want to state clearly that the SIG is not a difficult pistol to maintain, disassemble and clean, but the Glocks are all just so easy to maintain and quickly disassemble down to the smallest parts for a good cleaning that it takes the win in this category.

It can sometimes be problematic to shoot without full lubrication on the rails and other working metal surfaces. You can fire the P dry, but it will eventually wear the bearing surfaces on the slide and frame shortening the life-span of these parts, and you may notice it is not as smooth in operation. The Glock is the definition of rugged and low-maintenance. I do add a little lubricant but it is not critical on the Glock.

By understanding the dangers inherent in the use of any firearm, and by taking the precautions described herein, you can experience complete safety in the use of your pistol.

Failure to heed any of these warnings may result in serious injury to you or others, as well as severe damage to the firearm or other property.

This limitation applies regardless of whether liability is asserted on the basis of contract, negligence, or strict liability including any failure to warn. Always make certain that persons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris that may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use.

Without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss. They are mechanically locked, short recoil operated pistols with semi-automatic reloading. Firing takes place with each pull of the trigger until the magazine. The slide remains open after the last round has been fired from the magazine.

The automatic firing pin lock ensures safe carrying of the weapon and provides instant readiness without actuating a manual safety. The double action feature and the absence of manual safeties make it easier for you to get off a quick first shot. Distinctive high contrast sights, in conjunction with the ergonomically correct grip, ensure rapid target acquisition and engagement, even under poor lighting conditions. An accessory rail is integrated into the frame on certain models, facilitating the easy attachment of industry standard tactical accessories.

The closed design of the pistol helps keep dirt and other debris from entering the pistol, ensuring proper function in harsh environmental conditions. It returns to a decocked position after each trigger pull, so it can be fired only in double action mode. The reason it is there is because it is not safe practice to decock a pistol by pulling the trigger and attempting to ease the hammer forward manually.

To decock your pistol, push down the decocking lever keep your finger OFF the trigger while you do this. This is the only way to safely lower the hammer from the cocked position and prevent an accidental discharge. This warning applies to all pistols with decocking levers. The positive way to safely lower the hammer is by use of the decocking lever.

Never lower the hammer by pulling the trigger and attempting to ease the hammer forward manually. The decocking lever is the only proper means of lowering the hammer and assuring that the hammer rests in the intercept notch. Use only high-quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, bent, or damaged.

Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservatives, or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Only use ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use ammunition of any other caliber. Reloading is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous.

Severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result from any condition causing excessive pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing.

Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads, the use of incorrect cartridges, or defectively assembled cartridges. In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded, or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage. Immediately stop shooting and check the barrel for a possible obstruction whenever:.

In such cases it is possible that a bullet is lodged partway down the barrel. Firing a subsequent bullet into the obstructed barrel can wreck the firearm and cause serious injury to the shooter or to bystanders. Bullets can become lodged in the barrel:. When such a cartridge is extracted from the chamber without being fired, the bullet may be left behind in the bore at the point where the rifling begins. Subsequent chambering of another cartridge may push the first bullet further into the bore.

If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet is obstructing the barrel, immediately unload the firearm and look through the bore.
