Thread: sig pricing issues

The Sig 226 is rock solid. Lots of my LEO friends swear by it. I would recommend buying a good used one via 1) gunbroker.com, or 2) a local dealer who caters to LEOs, because there's probably a few good used ones on consignment as officers trade up or whatever.

There around, just have to look a bit.

Good luck.

I would also recommend an used LE trade-in. I purchased an used LE 229 (the smaller version) for $500.00. No way would I buy a NIB SigSauer at their prices.

A cheaper alternative that might interest you are the used German P6's that are commonly priced about $349 or so. The P6 is a Sig 225, which is a single-stack 9mm. I have one that was purchased locally for $349 which included three mags, and it has proved to be an excellent and accurate shooter. Here is an example...

Huh. Now I am confused. In one thread about Glock vs. HK vs. Beretta, you said price isn't an issue. But it is an issue for a SIG?

In another thread, you said you are suddenly interested in a 1911, and have $650 to spend. But you only have $500 for a SIG?

In yet two more threads, you are interested in a Glock, but in one you say you've shot Glocks "multiple times" and in the other you say you've only fired a Glock once.

Do you want one pistol or a bunch of them, and what is your actual price limit? Help us understand!

My local gun store was telling me they get alot of rebuilt guns back from Sig certified by them an such he quoted me a price of 599.95 for a 226. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Yes, they come in a red plastic box.

Thanks, thats certainly something to consider if new is a bit pricey. Thats the way I may go.

Me thinks Mike scared him away....

....... hmmmmmmmmm
Might be a good way for a very budgeted newbie like myself to step up into a good (but used) Sig.

Any references in here from anyone that's gone with one of their P6's?

.. and I promise I'll search.. noticed sometimes in here just searching on model#'s like "92F" or similar doesn't pull anything.. odd.. as I know the numbers I've been putting in do indeed have TONs of discussion.
