Just picked up a P228 today, mid-90s gun. Came with 5 factory 13-round mags. Doctor put a box of ammo through it and then stuck it away. Paid $600. Mint condition.

I collect S&Ws, and I shoot Sigs. I believe you did well. I prefer the 228 over the 229.

have several and enjoy shooting them all. p228 is one of my all time favorite carry guns.

I've carried the same 220 on the job for almost 19 years. Its the only Sig I've got, but I do love it.

Sigs, My 220 ST is the most reliable/accurate .45 I have ever owned.
I can keep a pop can jumping at 25 yrds till the mag is empty.
Yeah I like Sig Sauer!

Guilty as charged I own a few German made SIGs & enjoy shooting them.
My favorites are the P210 & P220

grizz

One 220 and two 239's (9mm and a .40) The .40 has the DAK trigger - didn't know if I'd like it but it grew on me.

I am the other way around. I love my 229 and have both 40 and 357 Sig barrels for it. I have had 4 of them and all but one were benchrest accurate

I have owned 3: 225, 226, 228. All of them always worked with every mag (factory mags), and every kind of ammo I tried.

I have 2 of the SIG SHR 970 rifles and will be getting a P-230 and the stainless steel 45 in the near future.

One,P226, born in the Motherland

My Sig 229 is accurate, reliable and first rate. Here it is and the mags I took to TDI.

I have a P226 and now a P228. I used to have a P220 and it was a great gun but I felt it was a little thick for a single stack 45.

I like the P228 better than the P229. It balances a little better for me.

I thought about getting a P229 in .357 SIG because some Secret Service guys I used to shoot with carry them, but it's low on my priority list. I have also been intrigued by the idea of a P210 at some point, but it's hard to justify several thousand dollars on one when there are so many revolvers I still need to buy

Personally I prefer Glocks, but if I couldn't have my Glock 17/19 the P226/P228 would be my second choice and I really like the SIGs.

btw Ladder, wouldn't that be the fatherland? Motherland would be a Tokarev or something

works great - much fun for little money .

I no longer have my nice German two tone P220 .45. I paid all of 650 dollars for it new in box circa 1999. I still miss that gun. Also no longer have my P232 or my P6. Miss them much less.

Being relatively trendy and what not, I do still have my P229R in .357 Sig with night sights. That one I'll keep. I also have a Sig 556 rifle that makes me happy in some ways and makes me shrug in others.

'80s und '90s aus Das Vaterland...
P220/.45 x 2
P225/9P
P226/9P x 2
P228/9P
P230/9K
P245/.45
All but the .45s served as duty weapons, the pair of 226s for 13 years, the 228 for 11 years, the 230 for 7 years and the 225 for 5 years ...

Very nice P228. My first Sig was a well used P228. I traded it off for a Smith & Wesson. Two years ago I found another in excellent shape and grabbed it up quick. In my view the P228 is a dang fine Duty/Carry 9mm double stack. Won't ever part with this one.

Sigs and Smith & Wesson's are my love. Have a P6 and a P220. Wouldn't mind a P226 or P229. West Germany made and no rails for this child. Older the better just like Smiths.

My 1st SIG was a P225/P-6 9mm, Ploize issue. This had ben sent back to the factory for a rework and then imported to the States f/re-sale. Great shooting gun, a tack driver. One draw back, parts for her were almost impossible to come up with. But I fell in love with SIG because of this auto. I was @ the local waterhole f/guns, and just so happened they had a special that week on SIG SP2022 9mm. This was SIG's attempt @ the polymer frame market, seems I read somewhere that the French was equipping their military w/this auto. Anyhow looked it over, asked why such a good deal on a $675.00 pistol and the salesman said making room for SIG's new models! Now the gears started to turn, this also was the same place I had purchased the other SIG. We here in the South just love to Horse Trade. So the deliberation started and before you could spit, I was the new owner of the SP2022. Took it straight to the indoor range @ the dealers, shot off a box and walked back to my car w/a big ole grin on my face. Now I keep hearing guys say, it ain't a real SIG because of the poly frame and the way you remove the slide is not a flip lever but, comes apart much like a 1911, of which I like. I have added/changed a few items since buying: 1. NcStar Tactical Flashlight/Laser combo 2.Houge rubber 3. Sprinco re-coil reducer 4. X2 15 round mags. RH

Forgot to post a photo.

One of my 229's is my daily carry. Recently acquired a 220 in great shape for under 500, very pleased with it. It's about to go into the carry rotation now that it's proven itself.

I have a P229 stainless steel elite. It's about as good as there is out there. No plastic guns please.

Now from a very armature pitcher taker... A 225 P/6. Was a real economical purchase, but shoots like a $1000. I guess I got a good one. I put Pachmayr grips on it. Good sticky feel.

I just picked up a P226ST. I've never owned a SIG before (although I've always been intrigued by them) and wasn't really planning on getting this one but it was offered to me as trade for another gun I had for sale. I was planning to take it to the range today but between the showers and flurries I'll take a pass.

I love my sig 229(357 Sig)It is in my daily rotation of my favorite 3 guns.

That's a nice 228. I've had a desire to get another one lately. I can't find a deal like you did.

Here are some from the 80's and 90's, possibly before actually, since I bought them all used in the 90's:



On the left are two 226's in 9mm (that is all they made them in back then)
On the right are two 220's in 45.
The nickel guns are factory full satin nickel- a rather scarce variant back then. The black 45 is the "K-cote" option. All were in the original boxes when acquired.
All have Trijicon Nite-Sites. They either had them already, or I installed them. The Sig sight tool is a necessity if you fool with them much- DON'T start beating on Sig sights- it won't turn out well. The tool makes it a snap.

I like my 220 Match SAO in .45 ACP it is sort of an updated 1911. It has a 5" barrel and nice adjustable sights. It seems to be a good shooter as well.

Got lots of Sigs.
Great Guns, I started buying mine in the early 80s when I paid $259.00 for my first P220. Took it to the range, shot it, went back to the PD and ordered another. About three months later, they started importing the P226 and I ordered two. The Agency I worked for issued either, P220s in .45acp, P226s in 9mm or P229s in .40S&W, your choice. If you wanted to carry a BUG, it had to be a Sig. I carried a P230 in an ankle holster.

When I was a Chief of Police I carried a P220 and a Glock 21, both in .45acp. And still carried the Sig P230 in an ankle rig.
I was only a 30 officer department, so everybody had to work.

I've got 2 SIG P-220 .45 ACP's and a .22 LR conversation kit for them. They are both keepers....

GUILTY!! Just a couple of mine.

I have had 3 and never had a problem with any of them. The only one left is a 228 that is so old the night sights are dead.

The first one was an issue 226, which I took when they wouldn't let me carry my S&W 39 any more. It was a good replacement.

I like Sigs because the first shot double action feels a lot like a S&W revolver.

P229 and P6 . My 229 is .40 and just recently purchased a .357 barrel. It is my daily carry.

I have only this 9 mm Luger SIG .....but I'm a great fan of this gun.

swissman-fabulous gun,but you know that already. have you ever shot one with the 22lr kit installed or one of the 210's that are built as 22lr?

I seem to have an affinity (more like an addiction or sickness) for the ones from the country that is no more (Thank you Ronald Reagan)

I bought a 220 in 87, one of the first of the American release models in the U.S.

Reloading for it from the beginning, I've shot virtually every bullet weight at mild to wild +P and all bullet configurations from RN to SWC to HP and the round count is enormous!

I have yet to have an FTF, FTRB, anything at all really.

The +P loads were a mistake however. I ended up replacing the magazine latch. Too much oomph, magazine self released a few times and eventually wore out the latch. My bad. Top Gun Supply to the rescue! They really are the best!

229 two tone here in .40 caliber. Nice compact gun that I hit well with. I just scored 8 boxes of Federal 135 grainers for it.

It used to be my car gun, but I'm on a Model 58 binge right now.

Yep, I'm a Sig fan. The P226 series is one of my favorite double stack nines, especially the X-five.

Good day perrazi,

No, I didn't. But this Sunday was a guy at the range with a .22 kit. He owns two SIG 210. With one grippiece the kit works easy, with the other he got much problems. Missfires, etc.
The tension of the spring and the measure or the rails are very critical for such an heavy slide. Accuracy with the functional combination was very good @ 25 meters.

Swissman

You got a steal. Mags go for about $30 each. I paid $850 for a new
P228 in the box with one mag.

I have had a number of Sigs that have come and gone including a 229, 228, 220, 225 and a 230. I currently have a Revolution Compact C3 1911. I got it in a trade and its turned out to be an excellent 1911. Despite the lack of respect that the Sig 1911's seem to get on the internet, it has proven to be one of the better 1911's I have owned. I may be getting another 220 in trade soon. I am not a big fan of the DA/SA trigger but I can adapt again I guess. The 220 is an excellent .45 pistol.

I have 2 a P220 and a P239.... both very high quality and dependable...

Bob

Oh yea! Sigs are good, I have a 230,2 229's, one .357 sig, and 1 in .40s&w,a 226,220,220st,and the little Sig Trailside. Great guns.

I have a P229 in .357, outstanding weapon.

Have an older yellow box 226 in 9mm with several mags from the 1980's even a few of the SIG 20? 30? rd mags. NEVER even loaded one.

Also have my two SIG 229 ex Mt Hwy Patrol issued guns. Bought the first when we went to the RAIL models, the second was a gift from the boys when I retired. Both are .357's.

I have been without a 220 for several years now. I generally have one in the safe. But my HK Tactical with suppressor has filled THAT niche nicely.

I'm a real SIG handgun fan...especially the 1980 and 1990's guns.
