| The FAQ says that the P225 was scheduled for discontinuation in the near future. Has this happened yet? i was hoping to get one or two new in box P225s when i had the spare cash. Should I be wporried that this won't be possible? |

Sig waffles back and forth about this sort of thing. My understanding was that the only thing to be "discontinued" was the importation of the 225, and that it was to be continued in production for Europe...where it is, or at least was...the most common LE pistol in Germany. Not sure how fast the H&K...supposedly recently chosen as standard for the Germans...will actually see the holsters of working cops there. They still have G1's in police lockers for emergency use in the more out-of-the-way stations. P225 = very nice little pistol! |
| What would be a good price on a NIB P225? I know a local pawn shop that has 2 in stock. Both boxes are in pretty good condition except the foam is disintegrating (from cigarette smoke, maybe??). One gun only has one magazine. A "customer" ran off with the second one. The other one is complete with 2 mags and test target, owner's manual, etc. I am thinking about buying the gun with one mag if he will cut the price enough. How much would a second P225 factory magazine cost? I went to the range Monday and shot my P220 (.45ACP)and P229 (.40 S&W)and started thinking about the P225 again. I do not have a 9mm SIG yet. If I remember correctly, he wants $500 for the gun with one mag and $525 for the complete gun. |
Are the 239s single stack? I was always under the inpression they were just short double stacks. Oh well, i gess I was wrong. Maybe i will find one after I get a 225 and try one out. |
| I just put a Sig 225 on layaway. It was at a pawn shop. I checked it out and it was in great shape. I've never owned a sig but have heard a lot of good things about them. I had always wanted one but couldn't scrape up the money. If $500 is a good deal then I got a steal. I got it for $350. It's pretty clean and the slide is tight on it. I can't wait to get it to the range. |
Darn good deal...were you wearing a mask?  I did see one at a show yesterday, for a whole lot more, over $500, I think. |

i originally had the P239, then picked up the 225 this weekend (along with a P226) the P225 is slightly larger than the p239 by a whopping .2 in some dimensions. the p225 grip is alot better than the p239. i think that if i had to sell one of them it would be the p239. BTW, i stole the P225 for $375, no box though.

I recently snagged my P225 off of AuctionArms.com for a sweet price. Gun is 99% perfect, factory nickel finish with 2 factory nickel mags all in the original box. Grabbed it for $560! Here she is next to her big brother, my P226 9mm: http://hstrial-caigner.homestead.com/files/MY_SIG_TWINS.jpg |

I stopped by my favorite hole in the wall gunshop last week. My dealer had a MINT SIG P225, frame mounted mag release, with three magazines and factory night sights. The exterior is absolutely 100% condition, and from the interior I would say the original owner MIGHT have put 50-100 rounds through it. I LOVE the feel of these things. $525 out the door. And I just bought a Pre-Series II Kimber this week dammit. To make it even worse, he said he'd put it in the safe and let me make monthy payments because he'd rather have it go to someone that knows what it is. You guys have convinced me. Im going to go put that bad boy on lay away tomorrow. |
| You definitely got a steal. The 225s that I have ran into go 500 used. The only problem that I have ran into with mine is that the hammer spring was weak and it would misfire every once in a while. I called sig and they sent me free a new spring, put it in, took about 5 minutes and took care of the problem. I think it is the best feeling sig made. |
