It's a P229 (obviously) in .40 S&W... I think it's a limited edition... bought it new today from a gun dealer whos been trying to sell it to me for months... I felt bad for it and decided to bring it home today. It will be my new carry piece, provided it proves itself on the range... I posted these bad pics in the pic thread, but when I get some new pics tomorrow, i'll switch these out.

Perfect timing on this thread, I couldn't find anything on the revese two tone model on the sig site. I just purchased mine yesterday and came home to look up a bit on it. I'm hoping the 575 price tag was a good deal, this is my first sig as well. Mine appears to be a little different in the fact that it has a rail mount for a light or laser, other than that, it looks about the same. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l245/WESKIX/SIG.jpg |

| Now i just have to find time to run a few through this thing. Yeah $575, figured it had to shoot alot better than the G-27 I traded in. they gave me $380 for it so I saved quite a bit in sales tax towards the P229. I cant put this thing down I just keep messing with it, very attractive piece thats for sure. By the way that was a civlian price too, no LE discount. I put a little scuff on it with the taketown lever, i had to take it apart and see just what all was involved for the first time i had to clean it. |
WESKIX, I got mine for $699 + tax, I didn't care if it was a good deal cause i had never seen one in the reverse 2 tone before, and I just had to have it. turns out the $745 after tax was a better deal than I could find online after buying it anyway. The cheapest I found online was $750, and prices ranged all the way up to over $900, for the same handgun. It obviously wasn't as good of a deal as the $575 you got yours for, but then again, I had nothing to trade, and I decided against the railed version anyway. Yours is one nice handgun even with the rail, and as for the scuff, take a look under the decocker, I bet you'll find some scuff there too. But don't worry, it adds character. My take down lever hasn't scratched mine up yet, but I'm sure it will eventually. I still haven't shot it yet because I jammed I thumb pretty bad playing football just before buying it... can't wait to find out if it's going to be my new carry piece...

| Yeah mine scuffed the first time I disassembled it, shucks. Oh well, I knew it wouldn't stay perfect, i just thought it would take a box before i put any noticeable wear on it. I woulda had to take it apart at some point anyway right, no harm no foul. Now I feel like i should go out and buy another gun with the money i saved, I could grab a tiny little kel-tec i guess. |
