Dinner w/Lisa & a Sig (Episode 6)

[lcompton]

Good evening.

In this episode of Dinner w/Lisa and a Sig we have Lisa's very fine Sig Sauer P229 Two-Tone pistol chambered in its classic .40 S&W cartridge.

This P229 Two-Tone is a full-sized .40 S&W DA/SA (double action/single action) pistol with a double stack magazine capable of holding 10 cartridges making the P229's overall ordnance capacity 10 + 1. Manufactured in February 1996 and purchased by me on 5 May 1997, the magazines accompanying this P229 were reduced from their normal capacity of 12 rounds for the .357 Sig and .40 S&W cartridge to the idiotic assault weapons ban maximum magazine capacity of ten rounds through the insertion of a large plastic plug on the bottom of the magazine. The slide on the P229 is made from machined stainless steel.

Now, before anyone gets bent out of shape over succotash again, I ran out of all of my other vegetables so there wasn't any choice but succotash on this evening's dinner menu. I promise a different vegetable in the next episode.

And, now, on to a T-bone steak with a sexy side of Sig...


Figure 1. Oven-broiled-to-perfection (it's raining here so no barbecue) T-bone steak, B&M brand baked beans and a generous portion of butter-smothered-succotash by Lisa; water and ice by Brita; P229 Two-Tone by Sig Sauer and white 100% cotton gloves by Sally Beauty Supply.



Figure 2. Close-up of awesome P229 Two-Tone protecting me while I eat my delicious T-bone steak and sides. Scrumptious!

Oh, sorry about the green toothpick, again. I was too hungry to fool with it. I need to snack before dinner so I won't be too hungry to stage these photo shoots more meticulously. LOL

Very nice earlier example of a P229 TT. Does the barrel have the serial number on it??
T-bones are great!! (even with succotash )

Good afternoon.

Looking good! You gotta change those doilies though.

You mean place mats! What do you guys have against my pretty place mats? I think they're cute.

I'll tell you what, I will eat my next dinner in my kitchen. It has a smaller table with two place settings and the place mats are a nice neutral off-white. I don't usually eat dinner in my kitchen because the dining room is more comfortable. But, I don't mind making the sacrifice once to show that I'm not 100% uncooperative — only 99.9% uncooperative.

When am I gonna get an invite ................ YUM!

I don't mind company as long as guests don't complain about my apartment. It's unbelievably cluttered here and I tend to limit invitees to members of my inner circle. But, if you don't mind clutter, your significant other and you are more than welcome to come over for a sit-down dinner. You can't sue me though if you trip over my Thompson.

Yeah, sure beats my bagel....

Awww...

As much as I'm not a fan of two tones, It is a SIG Looks great

I don't know why, but the Sig two-tones always look so pretty to me.

Lisa... the Mrs. challenges you to a cook-off!

Accepted.

LOL Not if the woman isn't interested.

Very nice earlier example of a P229 TT. Does the barrel have the serial number on it??

As a matter of fact, it does. The barrel has the caliber marking and the serial number right below it. Come to think of it, I believe that's the only Sig I own that has the serial number on the barrel. Something else I noticed when I took it out is that the bottom front of the slide doesn't have those date code letters like my other Sigs do. (See, now you have me checking for stuff like that! LOL) What's up with that?

T-bones are great!! (even with succotash )

Ha!

Only the Sigs assembled in Germany have the date proofs on them. All of the P229's were assembled here in the US. They were the first Sig to use the milled slide to accommodate the higher pressures of the 40S&W round. Sig was the last big manufacturer to come out with a pistol chambered in .40S&W because they had to redesign their slides from the stamped folded slide, to the milled slide so they'd hold up.

The earlier P229's had the guns' serial number stamped on the barrel as well as the frame. Yours was probably made right near the time Sig stopped doing that.

Most of the older (pre-1997) Sigs had the guns' serial number stamped on the barrel, but nothing is gospel.

Again - that gun of yours gun is very, very nice!
