Admittedly, I have a soft spot for classic P series Sigs. I went through a Sig phase a few years back. I think I've owned most every model and 3 different calibers. At the time I was trying not to get sucked into GLOCKs of 1911s. I loved the way Sigs felt and in slow fire I could drill the center. The problem was I wasn't a serious shooter at the time and had never trained with a firearm ..... ever.
As I became more serious about firearms I learned SA/DA wasn't for me and neither was the DAK or SA offerings from Sig. I went another direction and try not to ever look back.
Having said that I still find Sigs SEXY. I hate it when people use that word to describe anything other than a woman. However, it applies and I just can't help it. Every time I see a classic P series online my heart skips a beat. They just look and feel good.
I was weak today and bought another P228. I meet the guy tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. I don't even know the date code but from the pics and the box I know it's a classic. It's beautiful and in infinitely better condition than the Swiss police 228 I currently own.
I didn't need this one and really tried NOT to buy it. I simply couldn't resist the asking price and close proximity of the seller. I sure hope he doesn't have a classic P226 he wants to sell.
So .... what's your love/hate gun and why?
