I've always like SIG's. They are well made, reliable and very ergonomic, not to mention there are a ton of accessories available. However, I considered SIG's somewhat pricey compared to the competition so never bought one... until yesterday.
I was at a local gun show over the weekend and several of the dealers had SIG 225/P6 police trade in's for sale. For those that don't know, these are compact versions of the 9mm SIG 220 used by the German or Swiss police & military that were sent to the factory when the departments upgraded their inventories. They have been hitting the US market for the past year or two and vary in condition from good (mainly holster wear on the slide and grips) to like new. Most come with cleaning kits, owners manuals, the original factory box, two magazines, a holster and spare mag pouch. Anyway, after shopping around I found a like new pistol with all the previously mentioned accessories for $289 and decided to take the plunge. I got it home, took it apart and aside from some dust and grease under the grips, the gun seemed to be in excellent shape. While they are in good shape, I'll be replacing the plastic factory grips and sights with aftermarket night sights and a nice set of walnut grips I found on the internet. So, at $300 for the gun/accessories and about $100 for new sights and grips, I've entered the world of SIG. FYI, these guns have a single stack 8rd mag which makes for an almost 1911 style feel when you hold the gun and is EXCELLENT for people with smaller hands!
I'll post a review after I get a chance to take it to the range and will add a couple of pix after I install the new parts. This is a very well made gun at an excellent price and if it performs like I think it will, this will definately be a keeper. :smt023
