I bought the original P228, while stationed at Fort Meade, MD in the early 90's. We went on a tour of the ATF facility in Rockville, MD and their service pistol was the P228 and I got to hold one. Instantly, I was in love and my Private's Pay eventually got me one and they weren't cheap, $700, 31 years ago was definitely more of a bite than $700 today, but of course these pistols are now over $1,000. I've bought more SIGs and HKs than any other brand, Glock might be simple and functional, but it won't ever compare in aesthetics or just feeling like you bought something you can be proud of than a SIG all metal pistol.
I could not agree more. I feel like Glocks are useful and reliable but nothing compares to the feel metal. I am a bit of an HK and SIG fan myself. Thanks for sharing.
I am not or ever been team Glock. The quality and simplicity is far superior with the Sig . I had always wanted the M11-A1 for many reasons then while searching found the P-229 in .40sw I feel that I ended up with the best of both worlds. I also am a big fan of double, single hammer guns over striker fire. Therefore I also like the M11-A1, P-229 Sig over the modern Sig military version
True west Germany sig Swiss marked 228 to tone or 1500 plus in 90 95 precent plus clips in box unfired seen on gun broker 2500 cash yes they uo there and best made is why
Thank you for a superb presentation. One of the best I’ve seen. I own a M11-A1. I’m extremely pleased. It’s the concealed carry component of my EDC. Bravo!
One of the best reviews yet, irrespective of gun brand. Yes I do own an M11-A1. Although I have not put nearly the rounds through it you have, it has been everything you described. My “dilemma”, if you can call it that, is shooting it next to my CZ P07. The grip on the M-11 is a bit “fatter”…….but…..WHAT A PAIR OF PISTOLS to be stuck with !!!
I just bought one three nights ago JUST because I wanted to collect it as a US service pistol (especially because I am Navy). Can't wait to pick mine up; thanks for making me morr excited!
I've had. the p229 legion for about two years now. My EDC is a P320 Compact with Ameriglo Hackathorn night sights and a Wilson Combat grip module. The P229 cost me $1450.00. Not cheap but worth every penny. A custom OWB holter by Green River tactical. It's equipped with a light and it's role is my home defense pistol. It's the Rx so equipped with an optic. It's my show piece. It along with my CZ P01 are my favorite pistols to shoot. Over the years I've grown fond of hammer fired pistols. Yes, I'm a Sig Fan!
This pistol is fantastic. It's a German engineered, classy pistol. My husband and I both carry this pistol often for CCW. I, use to carry it while river fishing but was afraid it would get wet...... I carry another brand while river fishing. Thank you again for sharing this video 🙏
Love mine, bought it with extra pay from the LA riot. I took it to use as a primary pistol at Gunsite training ground, the P228 performed perfectly and there was a Manly Man bond grew there, probably Cooper’ s last class. His wife, a great Lady. Over cost, used red China 9mm - within each mag, one stovepipe.
I purchased the M11-A1 when Sig brought it out in 2012. It has been my carry gun of choice ever since. I use Hornaday Critical Defense Ammo with the 115 grain FXT 9mm bullet. In practice I use several brands and weights of ball ammo. I have never had one jam with the M11-A1!
11:30 I’d rather run it a little on the wet side, opposed to running it dry. Sig P series hammer fired are my favorite Replacement barrels and/or threaded barrels are easily available… I’ve heard of folks doing 90% of their training shooting the factory barrel and putting the threaded barrel in for a few shots and leaving it in all the time you’re carrying it …
Purchased a NBF m11-a1 used back in September and I absolutely love this firearm. I have been carrying it allot recently. I do notice it to be quite heavy and somewhat bothersome to carry do to my neck/back injuries, but I love the damn thing so much most days I push through the pain keep her at my side. That's saying allot because I have many carry sized pistols that would be better suited for me to personally carry.
Good video, thanks for the walk-through. I have the P239 (with Hogue grips) in .40 and absolutely love it. I also have and carry the P365XL - love it too. Sig make a very high-quality pistol; I’m a huge fan and the M11-A1 may be my next purchase. Just gotta find one that’s reasonably priced.
Same here ,loved my 226 so much . Got a 228 to take the load off. Jysr as good, incredible reliability. My 226 from 1988 has never failed, not once ever. 228 has been the same 7000 rounds ag least, not one malfunction of any kind. These are the best ever if you don't have to carry it all day.
Enjoyed your review! Will be buying 2 mid June. It will be sig # 5 and 6! Have the glock 19's but don't like the loaded chamber and 4lb pull. We are switching to the hammer fired. 1st rd 11lb. We have the sig p229 40cal, p229 legion 40cal, and 2 x p290RS. Looking forward to spending $2350. Ha Ha. Like the DA feature. It is the safety. Plus the Florida weather requires the stainless and coating. Oh yeah!
The M11-A1 has both of SIGs SRTs. The Short Reach Trigger, thinner and excellent for smaller hands and the Short Reset Trigger with far less travel to reset. The Short Reset Trigger is actually a sear and safety kit, it does not alter the trigger at all.
first fell in love with my P226, Love Sig's then I noticed the 228 on NCIS ( freaking love that show) and wanted one. I eventually got a M11-A1. I like it but the thinner trigger is not my favorite. I recently came across a P228 w. German made for $670 Would you say that is a fair price ?
You may like the Galco King Tuk holsters for that gun. The V-Hawk is very nice. Desantis has their own version (Mad Max) that can be custom ordered for anything.
M11-A1 = 13 rounds with stock mag. You can buy Mec Gar extended mags. P228 is basically same as M11-A1. P239 = 8 round single stack. Extended mags not available. P225A1 is also a similar choice. Very similar to P239, with a differently shaped trigger guard, also 8 round mags but different baseplate so mags don’t interchange with P239.
I have been carrying one since 2013. The small parts rust. Mine has many rounds through it. The roll pin that goes through the slide started to bend. New pins were ordered but didn't fit. So one day it might go down. For now it shoots quickly and well. I use a Kramer horse hide scabbard. The phosphate coated parts are the ones that rust.
So the parts that are supposed to be rust resistant are the ones that rust? Are you frequently in a salty environment? Why doesn’t the roll pin work, wrong one? They don’t make it anymore?
Sweat gets in the mag release button. Nothing terrible, just dab it with oil and work it in every so often. Carrying the same gun every Single day iwb for over 10 years will do that. I'd be very surprised if there is anything that holds up better, plastic included.
The original pin became bent. New ones supplied by Sig were incorrect. The pistol is being refinished and is currently waiting on all new springs. No the pistol was not in a salt environment. Just strange. @@Hialeah1925
@@drw1926A complete tear down is necessary. Even the underside of the block that houses the trigger would rust. Since there is no exterior rust except for the groove for sights, I think SiG needed a better quality finish on their working parts. Which is why I bought it in the first place. Because it was touted as being rust resistant. None of my other SiG 's rust at all.
I just bought one about a month ago with 229 grips. I've got to tell you I am a Beretta fan (m9, 92fs, etc.) but I love M11A1 model. Hard to find extra magazines though at present time. Thanks for the video. Have a Merry Christmas !
Nice find! They are getting harder to get right now...As far as the Berettas go, I have to agree as well. I have a Wilson Combat 92G Compact and it is probably one of the best guns I have ever shot. Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!
I have a 228 with a stainless slide and crimson trace laser grips got it years ago for $600 used but never fired wow it's worth at least $1100 now accurate and we'll engineered .💪💪 Makes glock look mediocre
Fun fact: this pistol is the standard issue of the US Coast Gard, NCIS, and the US State Department. Until recently it was also the pistol of choice in 357 Sig for the secret service to protect the President of the United States
@@warrenrhinerson6373 correct yes the M11 A1 is a p229 but they are completly diffrent in alot of ways, the coast guard uses 40 cal the m11 is only 9 there is no decocker on the dal aswell. We could generalize but they are teo completly diffrent guns. Just for the sake of being accurate they are not the same, i do own the m11 a1 though qnd i love it very accurate it was actually ine of my first guns
Hi, I have two questions: why some M11 have P228 grips and some P229? 2. Why some of them have SIG logo on top of slide and some don't? Is is related to the year of production or there are some other reasons?
I had a choice to buy this one or the special configuration 229 in 2020. Same frame and grips, but SC had the legacy slide and a less blocky chamber on the barrel. I chose the SC for those reasons and it was over $100 cheaper. Basically the same gun.
@@TheConcealedCarryChannel I don’t think there would be enough difference to tell, my reset looks the same as yours. I have a 229C and has the standard reset. I can shoot it better, but I had it longer.it’s a 40 I bought a 357 barrel for it.
Correct. Phosphate coating is on barrel (external finish), hammer, trigger, mainspring or the hammer spring. SIG uses the word "internals" very broadly.
I just couldn't do an M11-A1 without the LG-429M MIL-STD (waterproof) Crimson Trace lasergrips developed for the SEALs. They do make for just a bit bigger handful than the stock grips, but the better grip texture is still a net gain, and lasergrips on handguns are just a great thing to have for the worst case where you've got one chance to get an accurate shot off in low-vis, weak-handed and upside-down when you're already hit, half-concious and bleeding. +1 for Crossbreed IWB! For OWB, I prefer the Fobus Tactical Roto-Paddle, crossdraw with this gun. (I only do passive retention.)
One of my pistols is a cz p07. It came with a decokker that could be changed to a manual safety. Can the decokker on this pistol be changed to a manuel safety?
I am a Glock Guy but NOT a Sig Hater. Having said this, I must say that Glock was and is my all time #1 Combat/self defense pistol and that is why my Duty Weapon was the G19, 3rd Generation for over 10 years, until my retirement. I now carry as my EDC a G43 with a 7 round magazine or sometimes my new G48! Sig makes a great Gun and will always be second best but Glock will always be the King!
Dude, I am a glock nut and a sig nut but the sig p365 is better than the g43 in every way. Better sights, better trigger, better frame, more rounds, the xl is optics ready if you're into that. I carried a g19 and g26 before my p365. My two I carry now are just my g19 and p365.
Glock is just an average quality, overpriced pistol. A G19 shouldn't cost the end user more than $250-$300. The masses are just easily brainwashed....or generally brain dead! Glock=average at best.
@@markedman3990 yea I literally can say that between my m&p 2.0, Glock 19, and ruger sr9c I used to have. They all felt and shot the same. But they are all built the same out of plastic. So what do you expect? It’s like the new chevys vs the old box chevys. That aluminum is junk compared to the steel they used to use.
@@Airplanetyson yep! For shooting I like all steel guns...however for carrying, I'd rather have a fantastic plastic pistol...maybe like a Ruger Security 9
I have one. It’s a full sized pistol that weighs almost two pounds. They call it compact but it’s not. I consider it too heavy to carry concealed. Compare it to a Glock 26 that gives you as good of performance but is much smaller and lighter. Or a Sig 365XL. Or a Glock 43X. All three carry up to 15 rounds if you want that many rounds, but are smaller and lighter.
The M11 is a decent pistol, but not really any better than the M9. I carried both in the Army. it was really a dumbass idea to go to the sig after the Army had gone to the M9 because the mags were not interchangeable . I was boarding a Stryker one time in Iraq when a Major was getting on...we had to lock and load....but he had grabbed M9 mags and they would not fit in his sig. I thought the M9 was safer for poorly trained pistol users because of the safety...but overall in the US Army, a pistol is just a decoration.
New type sigs made in us or not a true Germany sig Swiss or etc they have problems and is why sig was being sued get a true Germany made west sig u never need another it's rocks

It’s a beautiful pistol. It’s hard for me to find things about Sig that are negative.
I have rotated through Glock, HK and Sig. Tried the P320 X5 and P365. I get more pleasure from this M11-A1 and P226 MK25 Navy.
My Sig 228 is the very first handgun I ever bought in December 1993. Still have it.
They are awesome.

Correct. Phosphate coating is on barrel (external finish), hammer, trigger, mainspring or the hammer spring. SIG uses the word "internals" very broadly.

One of my pistols is a cz p07. It came with a decokker that could be changed to a manual safety. Can the decokker on this pistol be changed to a manuel safety?
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if this pistol is truly about 5 oz. lighter than the p229, as the stats show? Thanks again!
I am a Glock Guy but NOT a Sig Hater. Having said this, I must say that Glock was and is my all time #1 Combat/self defense pistol and that is why my Duty Weapon was the G19, 3rd Generation for over 10 years, until my retirement. I now carry as my EDC a G43 with a 7 round magazine or sometimes my new G48! Sig makes a great Gun and will always be second best but Glock will always be the King!
Dude, I am a glock nut and a sig nut but the sig p365 is better than the g43 in every way. Better sights, better trigger, better frame, more rounds, the xl is optics ready if you're into that. I carried a g19 and g26 before my p365. My two I carry now are just my g19 and p365.
I’ve recently sold all glocks except the 30, and now standby Sigs.
Glock is just an average quality, overpriced pistol. A G19 shouldn't cost the end user more than $250-$300. The masses are just easily brainwashed....or generally brain dead! Glock=average at best.
@@markedman3990 yea I literally can say that between my m&p 2.0, Glock 19, and ruger sr9c I used to have. They all felt and shot the same. But they are all built the same out of plastic. So what do you expect? It’s like the new chevys vs the old box chevys. That aluminum is junk compared to the steel they used to use.
@@Airplanetyson yep! For shooting I like all steel guns...however for carrying, I'd rather have a fantastic plastic pistol...maybe like a Ruger Security 9
I have one. It’s a full sized pistol that weighs almost two pounds. They call it compact but it’s not. I consider it too heavy to carry concealed. Compare it to a Glock 26 that gives you as good of performance but is much smaller and lighter. Or a Sig 365XL. Or a Glock 43X. All three carry up to 15 rounds if you want that many rounds, but are smaller and lighter.
Merry christmas brother
I nought a used Sig. Daggone if i can tell it's an M22 A1 or P229.
Any you guys have the definitive answer?
I have a 94 w German 228 and can I fit the mag for the m11a1 in mine?
I have a p228(w germany). Should i engrave rail for light &laser device?
Amazing gun. Crap grips...go E2 and it's golden
Does the MK25 fit the same mags??
MK25 mags will fit a M11-A1 (sticking out a bit) but not the other way around.
No
The M11 is a decent pistol, but not really any better than the M9. I carried both in the Army. it was really a dumbass idea to go to the sig after the Army had gone to the M9 because the mags were not interchangeable . I was boarding a Stryker one time in Iraq when a Major was getting on...we had to lock and load....but he had grabbed M9 mags and they would not fit in his sig. I thought the M9 was safer for poorly trained pistol users because of the safety...but overall in the US Army, a pistol is just a decoration.
I own one ! But the grips way to big. ...... I hand to change to the more modern sig grips ..
it's just a p229-1 without a rail. nothing special. but i sure do want one.
Great video, I have a similar type UA-cam channel and I have some questions I was hoping you might could help me with, is there a way we can talk?
Sure thing. email us at concealedcarrychannel@gmail.com
Can confirm….:))))❤❤❤
How did you get the sig tramp stamp off of the frame ?
It actually came off the second time I cleaned it. I always rub a bit of oil into the finish after I clean the gun, and it fell right off.
Gotta love that clean chin…
Update - the P229/M11A1 remains the finest hand gun I've ever handled. Such a shame that they no longer make it...
Just bought one new. They still make it
I bought one brand new in 2022
Zero range time? Really?
Hmmmmmmmm. CZ 75 D PCR ERGO FEEL. BETTER
I was thinking about buying one of these, but I went with a Taurus instead.
You chose wrong 😁
Sorry
@@1996Gtalum nah it’s cool. The Taurus has a lifetime warranty.
New type sigs made in us or not a true Germany sig Swiss or etc they have problems and is why sig was being sued get a true Germany made west sig u never need another it's rocks
