yeah, I know...I am going to call them on Monday to confirm with anohter service rep. I wonder if the Navy Seals version costs a litle extra...and I will ask that as well.

A set of springs for the P226R costs $26...I bet the Navy Seals version costs more due to the corrosion resistance.

I also want to know if that $99 includes return overnight shipping. When you send your gun in for service, can they send it back to your address, or must the gun be sent to a dealer? I have to get all these questions answered on Monday.

EDIT:

I just noticed on their website that the service costs $120. I am not sure why he quoted me $99. I will definately have to call and get the facts...but still, at $120, it is a good deal anyway!

Thanks for finding that...I have not gotten around to calling them.

I still need to call though given that I do not know how long it will take to get the gun back...

Smith and Wesson shipped my pistol to my doorstep, the fella left it at my doorstep no less. The UPS or fedex(whoever it was) people have no idea what it is, because there's no label that says 'gun' on it. Had to send it overnight though, but I bet if I would have just packaged it myself and brought it in then it would have been cool. I had to go all the way out to a ups headquarters because the sub place wouldnt accept a gun package. Fuckin pussies. Even then, the grand daddy ups place didnt even know the rules of shipping heat, they had to look through this book for like 15 minutes, plus 15 minutes waiting for the right asshole to come out in the first place to look. Nightmare.

I just sent my P228 off last Friday. Ray is customer service was very helpful. I can't wait to get it back.

Let me know how long it takes, and how much it costs..also, if you could post a picture of the sights they put on there...it would be greatly appreciated.

Will they ship the gun back to you, or are there issues with that?

quite a deal

They will ship it back to me next day air. Will do on the picks.

Are they charging you for the return shipping?

I confirmed today that my P228 made it to Sig. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on the 6 to 10 day turnaround. They charged me $35.00 for next day air ( Thats a bargin ).

I just bought a P232 with factory night sights and because they are on SS there is very little contract which makes them a little difficult to acquire during fast follow up shots. I would much rather have Meprolights because they have bright colors for daytime shooting. If the gun was a blued gun this would be a mute point.

I am sure you have your gun back by now. So what do you think? Can I get those images now?

I just got an e-mail from Sig customer service. After the end of this month, this plan is going up $30! So, Feb 28th is the last day!

Oh, that's just GREAT!!!

My only other handgun is a .22LR.

I was going to wait until I had at least secured another decent handgun before sending my only (real) one out for a cleaning...

Looks like I will have to pay extra...I am not planning on spending $99 for the service plus $50+ in freight both ways right now. Maybe later I can swing it...even with the extra $30 tacked on.

February 23rd makes it 10 working days that they have had it. If it does not arrive Monday the 26th, Sig can expect another call. I will keep you posted.
