They both are outstanding. I find the P229 the most attractive because it was purposely built for the 40S&W and that is what I use. The 40's out of the P229 feel like 9mm out of a Glock 17. These are heavy, solid guns so the size difference doesnt mean much as far as recoil control. Mine happens to be a tack driver and I would never want any larger of a gun for my needs. The SRT trigger is a "must have" option. It is incredible. This is the only double stack gun that fits my hand as good as a custom 1911. Its become my favorite quickly because it does everything superbly.
