Dive into the Sig Sauer P228

[Sero Sed Serio]

I am in the market for a used P229 .40, would prefer a railed model with E2 grips. If anyone sees a real screamer of a deal, I'd appreciate a link. Also hate you for it since I'm trying not to spend money (ALMOST done with credit cards and student loans, SO close).

Recoil Gunworks has a police department marked very good condition P229R .357 Sig with police department markings and SRT trigger for about $500 that I am desperately trying to resist. I already have a case and a NIB factory magazine that would fit it, and I collect police-marked guns. If someone could buy that and save me the temptation that would be nice.

Rumor has it there's a P229R in .357 with only 250 rounds through it on the EE right now...

I got the bottom one, but what did the top say?

I'm a big fan of the 228. It was my off duty gun when I was just starting, and I worked a lot of details to be able to lay out for it. They have achieved collectors/cult status with Sigophiles, and prices frequently reflect that. If I had to go back to it, I wouldn't feel ill armed.

I'll have my West German P228 in hand Friday...it also happens to be NIB Have a set of Trijicon HD XRs, Hogue Extreme G10 grips, a SRT kit and an 18# Wolff hammer spring awaiting install. This will be my first West German Sig. I'm not a collector but I thought it would be interesting to own a gun as iconic as a classic Sig with some good history behind it. It won't be a safe queen

Was this that one that was just on GB?!

I caved. Drinking copious amounts the final night of bidding didn't help things. I figured it would be a longgg shot to come across another NIB W. German P228 for a semi-reasonable price. So I jumped on it.

I had a Sig 228 in 9mm and it was a fine shooter, but I did not find a real use for it as it was way too heavy to carry and too short for competition.

My favorite old school Sig is the 225 which I enjoy as an accurate soft shooter and is also slim enough to be carried occasionally. Since my compact PX4 is now not compliant for CCP I am going to give it a shot and see how it does in competition.

All classic German Sigs give me the warm fuzzies! But I'll always have a special affinity for the 228. I was issued one for the academy that had 30K down the pipe. I carried it for the next 8 years on the job before eventually moving to a 226. The thing was a rattle trap but could still shoot sub 3" at 25 when it was "retired" nearing 80K. It took me quite a bit of work before I could shoot the full sized pistol as as well as that compact. I miss that ol' girl. 💕
