Sorry for the delay.  Life has kept me busy lately.  Pictures of the pistol I received.  Ordered on a Friday and received the following Monday.  Pretty darn good.  












































Pistol seem to be in pretty good shape.  Some wear on the frame rails.  Doesn't seem like much but but after looking at the guide at Gray Guns I'm not so sure.













What do you guys think?  My FFL thought the the small wear mark on the frame rail was perfectly normal.

I think you are fine for at least 20K more rounds...

I contacted them and asked if I could request a Swiss one and they said no.  Too bad for me.

Looks like a short trigger. How's the reset?

I had no idea.  Cool to know. It doesn't have any proof marks.  Would that be normal for a Swiss Police?  How can you tell it is a from the Swiss Police?  Is it the SG on the slide?

It seems good.  Had no idea it had a short trigger.  I was reading a bit on them and thought it would be nice to install later down the line.  I guess no need to do that...  


 



Edit.  I took off the right grip and it does not have the SRT.  I'm still pretty happy with it however.

Do a search for "St. Gallen coat of arms". That is a nice score. Thanks for posting.

Don't worry at all about that guide from gray guns. I was worried about that too because my sigs got wear on their frames after a few hundred rounds. After looking at other people's sigs, they all get some sort of wear on the rails in a short amount of time. It's just the nature of two pieces of metal sliding on one another. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Yeah that is odd to not have the proof marks.  All of mine that are German or Swiss have proof marks.

I like the solid pin in the slide. Now they use a roll pin.

Am I missing something? You said you ordered a 226 and the pic shows 229 on the slide.
