Sig P229, .40 and Sig P228/6 9mm and P220 .45.

The SIG 226 is available in .357 SIG one of the best defensive rounds going today. .40 S&W is also available. With the 226 and 239 you can switch barrels from .357 SIG and .40 S&W with no problems as both use the same magazines and recoil springs, so you get two for the price of one and a barrel. The only problem is, if you aren't military or LE they will run you around $700.00. But you can find them used for around $500.00.

We can also get 12 round magazines instead of the normal 10, correct, Sir? And I don't know if it is the same in the Marines or if it has changed since your time in the Army, but is it possible/legal to have a personal firearm in the BOQ?


No boom, no boom, no boom, Amen.

15 round double stack in 9mm, and yes, 12 with .357/.40.

It really depends on the base/post. They have to be registered with the Provost Marshal/DES. Some will let you keep them provided they are secured inside a locked gun safe or strongbox with the ammo stored seperate, on others you have to check them in with the unit armory. And just about everywhere you can keep them in family quarters.

Hmm info


Are those Regulations for Enlisted Men, or Officers or both?

Again, depending on the base/post, this could be different, but some do allow staff NonComs (E-6 and above) to keep their personal firearms.

Most of the time, though, they require enlisted to check them in with the armory.
