Hearing those voices in my head again...
Ok, I found a Sig P245 about a month ago on a consignment for $1099. I checked today and found to my surprise it's still available. It's claimed to be 98-99% but I still want to see it in person. I think for a So Cal price it's soso, but I think I may jump//bite. Anybody have one, and comments?

Don't know about So Cal prices, but it sound real high. Last year I purchased a new P220 compact (same size) but it was too heavy, low capacity and I wound up selling it. IMHO: there are better options for a small 45.....Save your money....

Is that the one in a certain chain store in oc?
I saw the ad...the 681 is tempting too and I should have gotten the 296 that popped up.
Yeah, CA has a premium in pretty much anything off roster. Everyone except us gets to enjoy police trade in Smiths and nice prices...find that same gun here and expect a couple hundred or more on top of that...
Ps there’s an older p229 .40 in a shop in chino hills on consignment...the seller wants somewhere around $1200 ! Same for a Cougar in .45...

You have wise comments to ponder. I get emotional over German Sigs. 10 years ago I paid $650 for a slightly used German 220, 69rnds through it, and even the slide and barrel was hard chromed with Trijicons.

Yea, Lake Forest. I live a lot closer to Chino Hills. The P245 isn't technically off roster, just discontinued. There's the difference. If it was still being made and off roster I wouldn't be able to purchase it new.

Imagine how many you would buy if you could just walk into a shop, buy any gun and take it home that day.

I've had a P245 for 10 or so years. It keeps my 2 P220s company.
It's stupid accurate and has never had a failure of any kind. It's about all you could ask of a pistol

I just checked again. It's gone. Thanks to all who gave me comments. Its not the first time I missed an opportunity. I'll check back anyway,, maybe the buyer has a felony or something and it'll be back on the market. In the meantime I am still in love with my compact USP 45 so all is not lost.
Are your 220s German? As I stated in my op I have a German and an American 220. German and American 226s also.

Both of mine are marked "MADE IN GERMANY" on the slide. Really wonderful pistols.

I picked up this P226 German made (1990) last year. Apparently unfired from the look of the internals but no box, however it did have the manual and a full DeSantis shoulder rig plus a couple spare mags. Whole package for about $400 (it was part of a 4 gun package I bought). Gotta love the German built Sigs..

My desk pistol is a P-6, made in Germany.
I shoot it once a year, just to keep fresh ammo in it.

I have a P245, I love it and my two 220's! But if people want to offer me insane money I would have to accommodate them!

My first Sig was/is a W German 220 I got in about 1988-89. I got a 245 to replace my S&W4516 (too heavy) in about 1993 and picked up a second (two tone) a couple of years later.
The 6+1 doesn't bother me as I avoid combat zones whenever possible...... which seems to be harder and harder to do..... 
The 245 shoots as well as the 220....... the 245 was my winter carry here in Pa. for years...... now I don't carry a .45 as much.... but still a go to carried in a Miami Vice shoulder rig with 2 spare mags..... full size with X-grip adaptors for winter walks in Penn's Woods.
