Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns sig 229 9mm accuracy vs 320 compact?

Has anyone compared these two guns to see which one of them was the most accurate? Thank you.

You mean put them both in a ransom rest side by side to get a representative sample of one of each? And the point would be.........

sorry if its a dumb question.

I have fired both, but not side-by-side or in a direct comparison. Overall same lockup, same twist rate, same accuracy. The P229 is something like 5 oz. heavier and more controllable.

Not a dumb question at all Sir, if possible go to a shooting range and rent both, see which model YOU shoot the best, that could/would overcome any difference in accuracy between the individual models themselves.

I have to wonder of you're thinking about a church congregation.

I have shot my 229 at 300 yds at B26 silhouette targets and was able to hit it 6 to 8 times from 15 round prone supported. Ammo was 147JHP
Most handgun are accurate errors come from conditions and shooter

No comparison-
P229 Classic w/ 22LR,9x19,357Sig,40S&W top end options.
(I've packed one for 30yrs)

320-striker fired...Tupperware!

is the 229 a tighter fitting pistol because it is milled using a cnc machine where the 320 is molded plastic?

The 229 is heavier and has a better trigger both of which make it easier to shoot well.

No.

It's almost amazing that some guys still buy into the "tupperware" mantra. That was a valid question in the 80's and 90's, but polymer framed guns are well past proven at this point in 2020.

Also, the plastic part of a 320 is the grip module, which is just a polymer shell that fits over the functional parts. The slide is steel and it rides on steel rails, same as any other good polymer frame pistol.
