226 is 9mm, and 229 is 40. Both about the same in accuracy for me up through 15 yards. On the 25 yard range, I start to notice a slight benefit from the longer barrel of the 226. But the difference is marginal and something I could probably resolve with more practice on the 25 yard range (I just spend most of my pistol time on the 7 - 15 yard range). Either way, both are very nice shooters.
