Need Sig 229 info

[DeltaM]

I was at an estate auction recently.  Bought a Sig 229 .40 S&W, something I've always wanted but the stars were not in alignment till recently.  Got a good look before and after the auction and the gun looks 95% or better.  Only problem is when I got home my wife said "that will be your Christmas present"   I'll have to wait to shoot it or get a better look.

My concern is the frame says Made in Germany faintly embossed.  The slide has "stainless" on it but it isn't bright, silver looking like a typical stainless.  The only 229 listed that I can find with stainless on a slide is the DAK model used by Homeland Security which is DA only.  Mine, or what will be mine, is single & double action.  I didn't get a look at the SN to see if they match or even know if any of them match on any guns, or even know where to look before it got squirreled away.  I suppose, given an auction of used guns, I could have a mix & match slide and lower.  I did check the trigger and SA breaks at about 4.5 lbs, DA, as I recall a bit over 8 lbs.

It came with case and booklet and magazine that says 40 S&W or .357 Sig on it.  Seems I could get a .357 Sig barrel if desired.

Any ideas?

The  frame of mine (DAK) was made in Germany and the rest here.   The slides are blackened SS.  I have only one S/N on mine above the trigger on the right side.  Mine is about 7 years old.

For what it's worth my SIL has one, shoots the crap out of it and it's a tack driver as most every Sig I've ever fired is as well.  My daughter has an older P228 in 9mm, the gun that became the P229.  I've shot that more than the .40 but it's one of the most accurate out of the box pistols on the market!  You did well!

The DAK (Double Action Kellerman - the designer) trigger takes some getting used to using.  It has two reset points.

When firing the pistol the first trigger pull is 6.5 lbf (compared to 10 lbf for the standard DAO). After the pistol fires and the trigger is released forward, the trigger has an intermediate reset point that is approximately halfway to the trigger at rest position. The trigger pull from this intermediate reset point is 8.5 lbf. If the trigger is released all the way forward, this will engage the primary trigger reset and have a trigger pull of 6.5 lbf. To engage the intermediate reset, the trigger must be held to the rear while the slide is cycled, either manually or by the recoil of a round being fired. The pistol can be cocked by pulling the trigger just past the trigger reset, then stopping, then releasing.
