I saw a display case full of Sig 228s as I was heading out of the Valley Forge Gun Show. They're police trade-ins, in great shape with minimal holster wear. The triggers were unexpectedly awesome as well. I couldn't believe how smooth the DA pull was, and the SA was extremely light and crisp. There is a bit of takeup, but you get used to that after a few dry-firings.
Mine came with night sights and one 13rd mag. The sights aren't as bright as factory-fresh units, but still perfectly serviceable. I took it to the range right away and put ~75rds through it. This gun is capable of some scary accuracy. The range I was at wouldn't allow any sort of rapid fire, but as soon as I can, I want to run this thing silly and see what it can do. It's an awesome deal for a Sig.         |

Very nice. I have a 226 and honestly feel if I never owned another pistol in my life I'd be fine with that. What did it cost you?

I once passed up a 228 with a bit of holster wear with 4 high cap mags (during the ban) for $375. I am still kicking myself for that. |

Hard to beat a Sig for reliability/accuracy.

Quoted: Hard to beat a Sig for reliability/accuracy. It's also the fastest way to make your G19 look like baked crap. It really puts it to shame in several areas. Trigger, grip angle, sight alignment, trigger, control accessibility, trigger... |

That is a good buy. I was going to head over there to take a look, but eh, don't think I'll make the drive.

Mec-Gar makes all of Sigs mags and then Sig prints their name on them. They are cheap and plentiful, good score!
