I've owned this p228 for a while now, it's a triple serial matching West German, kd date code. It's Israeli surplus from the looks of things, and has no import marks at all, so it's kind of neat.
It's clearly seen quite a few rounds, and probably wasn't greased too much. The rails are pretty much all worn down to sliver, as is much of the barrel finish. The slide had been parked, and the frame had been refinished with some type of paint finish prior to me buying it. It shoots great though, and isn't too rattly.
Before anyone links me the Greyguns page, I've seen that. I've also seen the thread Henderson defense made where their rental p226 frame lasted over 150k before cracking.
So I suppose my question is, realistically how concerned should I be about this? From what I've read, opinions on the internet range from "no big deal, just shoot it" to "the sky is falling" in regards to Sig slide rail wear.
I don't put a whole lot of rounds through it, and keep it well greased when I do. I probably won't ever sell it, and will keep shooting it until it falls apart, no concern with potential resale value.
