228

[Peevee]

I borrowed a 228 from a buddy this has got to be the most accurate and sweet shooting gun there is. It fit my hand like a glove.
I'm now looking for one myself.

Way to go!!:)

I've had mine for a couple of months now. I even shoot it slightly better than my G19 now. I love it!

I love my 228 and have carried it daily for years but I'm carrying one of my G19s currently.
I shoot the 228 better but they just can't take the abuse a Glock can and they are harder to work on in the field.
Still,a very nice gun and my favorite SIG.
Try a 225 next!

The Dealer Warehouse, www.thedealerwarehouse.com had used P228's for $299. I don't know if they still have them.

I hope that helps.

i have no clue what you guys are saying about the g19 requiring less matenance.
Sure, the p228 will show a lot more holster wear, but it is just as durable as a g19 and imo more reliable.
Matenance for the sig is a simple cleaning after a range trip, same as a glock. If i had to take a 228 vs a g19/17 in a situation where i would have no cleaning supplies availible for an extended period of time, i would take the 228 without hesitation. There is nothing a g19 does better than a 228.

No problem with what you are saying,I just hate cleaning guns.
A g19 *DOES* resist rust better than a 228.If I treated my SIG like my G19s,it would be a beat up hunk of chipped aluminum with a rusted shut slide.
Maybe overstating it,but still...

On the otherhand,looking at the way I shot yesterday's match,I'd probably be better off shooting the 228 from now on.;Q

I think all of those $299 sigs are gone.From what I was told, they looked like they had 50K rounds through them. Ridden hard and put away wet.;g
I saw some in CDNN for a little more. Some of them are also "certified pre owned". You have to ask.
I got one of the hand picked with night sights and I found out through Sig it was a CPO.

I treat my Sigs like babies. Glocks can go anywhere and be treated in a less dainty manner. The Glocks are my summer carry due to their rust resistance. All of them are cleaned frequently and after every range trip.
