Stopped by the local shop today and noticed this P225 in the case. Tag said new and I thought it was the newly released model. I took a second, closer look and noticed the W. Germany markings. I asked how many magazines it came with and the owner went to the back and got the original box with an extra magazine and the papers. He said a local guy brought it in last week and was liquidating some new old stock guns.
I’m a fan of DA/SA pistols so I never had a chance once I saw it was priced over 50% less than the new P239 SAS in the case beside it.
This is the first Sig I’ve ever owned and I don’t know very much about them. I’ve been on the fence about a P229 Legacy in 9mm for a while so this one will have to do. This single stack is not very small by today’s standards. Still, the quality fit and finish is superb and once I pulled the smooth trigger, I had to take it.
Any tips on these older models. I took it apart and gave it an inspection. I remember hearing years ago about the “Tyson Corner” Sigs having some issues. I hope that’s not the case.

I mean who doesn’t love a red velvet lined green cardboard box full of West German steel?
