Designed to meet, and exceed, rigorous military standards, the P229 Combat performs like no other 9mm available. Each pistol features the military's Flat Dark Earth finish on its alloy frame and Sig's Nitron finish over a stainless slide. Internal parts and controls are phosphated for extreme corrosion resistance and reduced friction while the barrel is hard chromed and finished in Nitron which easily passes the military's accuracy requirements - even after 20,000 rounds. The P229 Combat also passes the military's 240-hour salt spray corrosion test. Additional features include a M1913 rail, vertical front strap serrations and SIGLITE night sights.
