Picking up a new to me P228

[Suvorov]

Big fan of the 228 here! It is more elegant than the 229 IMHO and wins points for being a US military sidearm.

Congrats- it will serve you well!

I'm fighting a completely irrational urge to have my 228 MP3ed...

That's the one Sig pistol I desperately want.

They are great pistols. I bought my first one (upper left) new in 1993, then picked up a P228R (with U.S. and M11 markings engraved over by SIG) more recently. The pistol on the bottom is one of the Air Force contract overrun M11s SIG released for sale a few years ago. They added a "B" after the M11 to comply with DOD contract requirements, but didn't change the label on the box. I fired a few Army CID M11s while on active duty, so was happy to add an M11 to my collection. Unfortunately, it was unfired when I purchased it, and I haven't yet been able to bring myself to fire it.

I am seeing a batch of CAI imported "West Germany" P228's for sale, they must have imported a batch of late 80's made surplus/retired guns from some place.

I miss my SIGs. I could have saved a ton of time and money if I'd have stuck with a P226/229 several years ago, instead of chasing the P-F DA/SA hotness.

duplicate post, sorry

One just came up for sale on hkpro.com for those who desperately want one.

[TOTS]

I'm looking forward to having one again. I've stupidly let two go over the years... Now I'm at the point where I want to have one each of the "ones that got away". The 228 is one of the last ones.

It has a blue box and I think a CPO. Matching serial numbers on frame and barrel only, factory night sights, at least 7 mags (most factory 13 rounders), and 3 holsters.

Buying it from a co-worker who's had it for at least ten years, and he's put less than 300 rounds through it. Can't wait to put an SRT in it!

Awesome. I love my 229. The SRT is a cheap, easy to do, and very worthwhile addition. Not very often does a mod meet all three criteria!!

Where do you see them?
