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.
 
Got Sig

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!
 
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.
 
Sig's

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 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 ;)
 
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 :D...
 
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. :DRH
