Works just fine as long as you have the correct frame and internals. I changed a LEO trade in . 40 cal DAK to a 9MM DA/SA with no issue.

This is definitely what I was looking for. I am enjoying shooting at the range and shooting classes. Definitely what I wanted!!

Optimal upgrade from the original slide on my California compliant P9 Elite purchased in 014.
Paired with a new non-LCI barrel and Romeo X Pro Enclosed, my pistol is a modernized proven self-defense and range performer.

The slide and barrel are top quality. Customer service is great really makes a huge difference when purchasing gun parts.

I purchased this to go on an M11-A1 so I could have an optics ready slide also. It fits very well, as indicated. Would highly recommend.

It was nice to finally get an optic ready slide for the p9. I wish sig offered it at reduced price to Cali model owners since they haven’t gotten any of the optics ready models approved. Should do a Cali slide trade in offer. ).

Slide was very good quality and I was looking forward to mounting an optic on my 229R, but the existing two barrels I have are 229 barrels, not 229-1. The new slide with the older barrels was hanging up on teh locking insert. They immediately sent me a return authorization and will credit my card. Very fast and easy to talk to them on the phone.

I was gifted a P229 by a very close friend for helping him out with a project. I was amazed at how good this pistol really was. A few years later, I made the decision to convert it from 357 sig over to 9mm. These people made it effortless. It works perfect, just cleaned the new parts, oiled it up and it’s a perfect shooter. If I could afford, id have all sigs and a room full of them.

The P229 9MM 3.9″ SLIDE ASSEMBLY, OPTIC READY, BLACK was exactly what I needed for my M11-a1 my eye sight could not focus on the iron sights. Now all my Sig pistols have Romeo X optics. Sig has never given me a reason to look at any other Company. Any problem I’ve had Sig has taken care of it. Enough said.

Interesting development! Ordered P229 Optic-Ready Slide. No problem with product! BUT- next day after ordering, I receive 15 percent discount offer for Sig Sauer products! Sure put a damper on my appreciation for customer appreciation!
