just jumped on a deal, sig p229 police trade ins, 9mm with 3 mags, from Bud's.  can't wait!

UPDATE:  Got an email and a call from Bud's, they made a mistake -- they are .40 s&w, not 9mm.  Still a good deal, but I ended up getting a refund.

I wish I could find police trade in Sigs in 9mm more often. Lots of .40s around.

conversion barrel?  reports are that the same mags (.40/.357) will work with 9mm too.

Appears the one at Bud's is a 9mm after all

Well yeah but then buying a conversion barrel atleast the last time I looked isn't that much of a deal. I think the last P226 40-9 barrel was like $180 and a recoil spring.

That is a darn good deal. I wonder if they use the E-1 mags? Also the issue with ordering from Buds is the picture you see is not the gun you are buying.

I wonder where these guns came from. Non-railed 9mm SIGs are either very old or some rare guns.

I was talking as far as police trade in guns. Non-railed means nothing in relation to Cohen. I have a non-railed made long after he was there.

I went for the refund as well. That was seriously disappointing.

I did the refund as well.  Disappointed as I was looking forward to adding a 229 to my collection.  

I wouldn't have been surprised if I could flip it and make some money, but didn't want the hassle.

I see .40 Sigs all over the place for very good prices because no one wants the .40.

I would love to see Sig 9mms for that price.

So would most of us in this thread that supposedly ordered a 9mm 229 only to have to ask for a refund from Buds when they flipped the script and made the sale for a .40.

Now would be a good time to pick one up then.  You can get .357sig with only a barrel swap.  Then you'll have a superior caliber gun and a spare .40s&w barrel for the next time that's the only caliber left on the shelf.
