Ahhh, back when Sig Sauer meant quality... I love the old P-229 in .40 S&W.

It's a surplus from some Police department. I got it off of one of those off-lease goverment surplus sites. It just oozes with old school German Sig energy with that metal frame. The action on this old girl is SO SMOOTH.

You can change over just by switching barrels?

You're preachin' to the choir here, buddy, I couldn't agree more.  

My P-229 also came from police surplus and it looked like it had hardly been fired.  Must have belonged to a desk jockey....  It is flawless and has never had a misfire or problem.   I added the wooden grips just for some eye candy.  

It's spends each night in my nightstand along with a Remington 870 12 gauge.   We share bedtime stories.........

Not on the 224, can't speak to any other models.
