A couple years ago these were selling for $380+.  Now a ton of places have em for around $230ish.  Grip resembles the Jericho baby eagle and the slide is all Beretta with that safety/decocker.  Could be a neat addition in a fully metal gun to toss into a glove box or stash in a tool chest.  Cold hammer forged barrel with hard chrome.  I guess P226 18rd mags are a direct fit.

Damn

I have read a fair amount about these and almost bought one on several occasions but never did, they faded from my to buy list until I saw your post.

Any links to who has them cheap?

I am sure I could find them, just checking.

Yep at $230 anything at that price range that is dependable is worth it.

I did purchase a K model.
So far it feels robust and well made. Mine came in a cardboard box with 2 15rd mags .1 of the mags was an XD type that someone modified to fit the Zigana,it was done very well.

Lots of talk about Sig mags fitting,well they do latch in,but sit quite a bit low due to the Sig mag cutout being closer to the top. There is mention on Classic's site about dremel ing the top of a Sig mag,but that would just make the mag sit even lower. The Sig mags sit low enough they do not lock the slide back on the last round.
I hope to do some live fire testing to see if the mag functions or not . My thoughts are they will not .

it shipped like that?  Or you bought it used off somebody?  It should come with two factory mags if bought new.

I've decided I will order an "F" model if I can ever get some asshole to buy my M&P2.0C from me...

Yes it did. No, I purchased it NIB from Classic.
*Update on the Sig 226 mags*
Tried a MecGar 226 Factory LE magazine in the Zigana and rounds 1-5 functioned fine #6 FTF.
Rds 7-15 fed and functioned fine.
I ran a total of 45 rds of WWB 115gr though the pistol with only 1 malfunction.
Accuracy was all over the place,but I attribute this to the WWB ammo and not the pistol.
I have had accuracy issues with this ammo in other pistols.
The Sig mag did function in the Zigana.

Nope,the mag catch on those are up high on the mag body like Sig. The Zigana mag catch is just a slight bit lower .
The higher the slot on the mag body ,the lower the mag sits. The Sig mags somewhat function.
Adding the Zig mag catch slot to a Beretta, XD or Arex zero 1 mag might be a good alternative.

I am glade I picked up 14 of the Zigana 18 rd factory mags when Buds was blowing them out for $10ea.

All I see listed now are the 15rd mags for $25 ea.

Got two of these on the wall with selector switch.  I've modified Beretta M9 mags by cutting new catch.

I am curious what you used to cut the slot in the M9 magazines?
Dremel or a mill and what type of cutter?
Thanks in advance ......

Took the K model out this evening with some PPU NATO after being cooped up in the house with 2 kids.
Accuracy was not what I would hoped for.
Pretty much all over the place accuracy wise, but it went bang every time with both NATO and some reloads I bought from someone during the last panic.

Did you buy the K for carry?
3/20/2020 10:34:38 AM EDT
[#24]
No,just picked it up  because the price was cheap and to shoot as a beater.
I have picked up other pistols for the same reason (beaters) that have been much better shooters like Zastava EZ9/CZ999, Canik TP9SA,SF. and Tanfoglio Witness.

I am not complaining, it is just not on par with the other beaters I have purchased in the past. It is worth what I paid for it,I just wish the 17 rd mags were still available. Mecgar Beretta,XD ,Arex zero1 mags could be converted if need be or I could just drill out the dimple on each side.
1 of my mags that came with the K was a converted XD Mecgar mag ,it was nicely done ang locked up in my XD like a glove.

Just FYI, handguns react to ammo a lot like rifles, maybe even more drastically. Maybe try some other ammo.

Since these are sold out now damn near everywhere, I jumped on a K model from Impact Guns and with code WELCOME20 I was able to get it for under $250 shipped!  Hopefully they aren't too backed up and I will get it in a week or so.

And they ^^^ charge tax, which was the turnoff for me.  Plus they said 10-14 day processing which it looks like you are experiencing now.  Mine came in today to my FFL.   I'm picking up tomorrow.

Nice. Still kinda on the fence. I really don't need another plain old 9mm, but can one really have too many reliable service pistols?

BTW, thanks for the tip on the holster. I have been trying to find a decent holster that will fit the SAR K2-45 and Arex Rex 1. This fills both needs, and adds my 92SB.

The "F" is one of our house guns. I specifically wanted a traditional DA/SA with a rail.

It's got some decent high-profile sights, but the rear dots were too distracting. The front white dot seemed small compared to the two rears, even taking into account that they're closer to the eyes. I blacked out the rears and added some bright yellow paint to the front dot. It shoot to point of aim, but I haven't measured the groups. Seems to group just fine for SD/HD purposes.

The factory grips are a little slick, so I added a Limbsaver grip sleeve. I chose that over a Hogue because it didn't have the finger bump. I normally don't like rubber grips but this isn't a carry gun.

Finished off with a TLR-1H.

I've only got a couple of hundreds of rounds through it, but no bobbles. I've run mags with mixed bullet weights/profiles in them with no issues. I stay with standard pressure ammo, so I haven't tried any +P.

My go-to SD/HD load is Hornady Critical Duty 135g Flexlock.
