I love my p220 but have never shot a p225. Gotta say I might have to pick one up(along with the 10mm p220).

Sorry if I do not get too excited. From my memory...the 225 is roughly the same size as the P228 was or say a P229. The grip I think was just a tad shorter but was thinner. The 225 was larger then say the P239. So they are releasing a gun that is single stack with the same capacity of a smaller gun but is about the same size as the larger models.
What this sounds like to me is SIG is going to release a gun that a lot of SIG fans will buy so they can say they have a 225. I think this is more about marketing then anything else. This sounds familiar, oh wait, M11-A1 comes to mind. EDIT: I would rather SIG redesign the 239 grips so they are not so square on the front. I would buy this before buying a new 225. |

While you have a valid point about the size/capacity of the P225, and another valid point about the clever/shady marketing ala M11-A1, there are people such as those with smaller hands or women who want a classic SIG Sauer but with a grip that has a smaller circumference then say a P228/P229. The P239 feels like a completely different animal altogether, the grip is much too blocky, like a 2x4. It's not for me. My only real gripe so far about this re-release is the thought of a rounded P228-style trigger guard on the P225. I hope SIG comes to their senses and keeps the squared P220-style trigger guard, without it it's not really a P225. But if we're going down that road we can also argue that without a two piece folded carbon steel slide it's not a P225 either. |

Had one. Nice enough pistol but it didn't do anything my 228 did better. A tad bulky for a single stack nine. Sold it and never looked back.
Given SIG's pricing structure these won't be cheap. I'd guess $800 plus. |

Sig is now all about marketing and that company was better when every gun was plain black, made by serious guys named Jurgen IN GERMANY. The M11-A1 is a perfect example. I've also personally experienced some of the rather dismal QC they had a few years ago. |

I have a P225 and two German P6's that I had refinished and added wood grips. The guns are awesome. The 225/P6 is a great feeling gun in the hand. I do wonder what Sig's plan is. I think they must huddle in a conference room and throw darts to figure out what their offerings will be.

Love my P6. It is one of the best pointing pistols I own. My complaint with it has always been the availability and price of spare FACTORY magazines. Now, it seems that surplus mags are available cheaper than ProMags for the gun…I am a happy man!

I've got like 11 or 12 for my P6.
It was nice to be able to them for $8/ea when the old Sig proshop had a bin of surplus mags. I really should have bought them all, but I waited a couple days so most were bought and I only got their last few. Luckily, a couple years later I was given a few more by a buddy. |

There is rumor on another board that the magazines will be different than those of the legacy P225/P6. Not sure if true, and not sure if different means incompatible or not.

Every once in a while i consider selling my basically brand new P6 and the 11 mags I have for it.
I'm not sure what exactly I'd replace it with though that would make it worth the trade. Maybe a MK25 and a bunch of mags. I don't carry it, rarely shoot it, and i bought it to get refinished but I didn't because it was unissued and essentially new. |

Nice clean looking P225! Odd looking base plates on a couple of those mags. I've got four P6's myself, two early 80's and two late 90's, only the 90's will feed JHP.
The one downside to the P225 mags is the feed lips are prone to spreading. Out of 11 used mags 4 of mine are noticeably spread, which may be why they are using a modified P239 mag instead. I'm actually excited to see what subtle changes they make to the P225. I've been looking to get a P239 for carry, but if they slim the grip panels slightly and smooth the edges a new P225 would be an excellent CCW piece. |
