I picked up a used Sig 229 a few months ago. I have only put a couple hundred rounds through it but I am pretty happy with the purchase. I was thinking about doing the Sig Service plan because I would really like to update to the Siglite Night sights. Has anyone used this plan? If so what are your thoughts.
I am nervous because I would hate for it to come back all messed up after replacing springs and such. |
it won't...I did the SiG Service Plan on my 1986 vintage P225 in 2006...I also had a full Nitron applied (yes they can/could do it ;) )...I wouldn't hesitate if you can deal with the price...contact SiG about the shipping as it can save you big time (their price was FAR better than any price I could get)...I can do the SiG Armorer stuff myself but for the price of the SSP at the time WITH new night sights (I had damaged contrast sights in my P225) it was a no brainer...

Quick update. Got my P226 back in less than 2 weeks. Got the receipt a couple days later and they charged me shipping. We didn't discuss that, they just sent me the shipping labels. Not too happy about that part.
However, my P226 has never looked better. I had old style sights on it and now has night sights that I love. That was the primary reason I went this route. It's also more accurate than it's ever been! I couldn't believe the groups I was getting today. I'm very happy with the service plan and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. |

...and I'll bet if you checked, you paid their price for shipping and not the much higher price you would have if you secured shipping yourself...let's see some pics... 
Bill Yeah, if I had paid more attention to their description on their site, I would have probably looked at my cost to ship to and from vs. their cost to me. Bygones... Here's my 226. Keep in mind I got this about 9 years ago as a police reissue. It's held up great and I love the new sights. Can't believe how bright they are. Good to see them glowing on the night stand. Pic is after I got it back and put 150 rounds down range. KH Date Code under the barrel so I believe that means it's a 1997 W. German. Please school me if I'm incorrect.
