hope you all can fill me up with opinions to make my life even more full... ...I was big into SiGs at one time and wanted one of these to compliment my P220...I never got around to the P245...left SiG for a time but now am back (SiGagain... )...I now have a SiGARMS GSR Revolution STX...a P225 at SiGARMS for a Nitron finish and the SSP...I am thinking about a smaller pistol for concealed carry and the P245 has come back into my head...I have read all the posts I could find here and there... I have seen the BEAUTIFUL full stainless (rare?) colored version...that's not going to happen for me...seen the two toned...nice...seen them in Ilaflon...in Nitron...I think I have to get one...here's what I would like to get: DA/SA trigger...don't want the DAO Night Sights-perhaps the AE Big Dot front sight All Silver is 1st choice...2 toned 2nd choice and Ilaflon or Nitron 3rd... I have seen a few NIB for more than I think I want to pay...the All Silver seems WAY outta my price "pain threshold" and a couple of CPOs. What can you share that I should expect, pricewise, performancewise, choicewise...is this one worht getting??? Thanks for anything you care to share... Restless in Chicagoland... Bill |

Well...the pistol gods have spoken and there will be no P245 for me. I can't find one to "test feel" in the Chicagoland area... I have gotten some decent prices but the prices have sure driven up since Thanksgiving. The sweet deal I had found on a CPO dried up (I balked when I couldn't locate an FFL) and the new price for the CPO is the same as the old NIB prices... Prices still aren't bad but have risen $75 to $100 since I started looking just at Thanksgiving... I have a cracked tooth so it is off to the Dentist and a temporary crown fitting...there goes the budget for a pistol. ...perhaps the fever will break...(I bet not) Happy Holidays. Bill |

Problem is, the P245 is out of production. So naturally (it would appear), a pistol that few shooters wanted when it was being made has now become both desirable and scarce. I strongly suggest you don’t even consider one until you’ve held it. For me the grip is too short (and I have small hands!), and the pistol is not very well balanced. OTOH, the P220 Carry is a very nice pistol. |
