Here's the deal...

I've got an opportunity to purchase a Sig P229. It's brand new in box, never fired... comes with night sights and three 12 round mags. All for 499.00

I friend of mine works for a gun shop who mainly supplies local law enforcement agencies. They bought "600" P229's (that's right...600) for a LE order and have a few that they can let go to the public.

So..... should I make my way to the gun shop in the morning and make a purchase?

Everyone needs a 229, Glock, 1911, and an AR, and a good 12ga.

Is it a railed or non-rail?

I got my 229 CPO in great shape with 5 mags for 500 shipped, and I considered that an awesome deal.

I'd jump on it if you've got the cash. I love mine.

It's railed...

I'm not very familiar with sigs... at all. But was told this is a once in a lifetime price, if anything I'm told I could sell it for alot more than I will be paying for it.

I'll set the alarm for bright and early in the morning and make a trip down there. They were supposed to be delivered to their specific LE departments yesterday but got the delayed for some reason, so if I get there early enough I may be able to pick one up before they are all taken.

I paid a hell of a lot more for mine.  You'll never find that price again.

For a NIB P229R with nightsights.....   yep, I'd say that's a once in a lifetime price.  You should buy more than one if you can.

even I would buy one at that price

I bought two P229's a few months ago.
One was a used P229-R in 357 SIG, the other was a CPO P229 in 40 with a short trigger.  Both came with a spare mag and a Sigarms case.
Combined price was $990 after taxes.

I was happy.

Absolutely!

DO IT!  The only thing I'd sell my P229 for is a P229R.  I've got .40 and .357 barrels for it, and its a fantastic gun.  That is a stellar price too.

The P-229 is a very nice handgun. The only drawback is that they are a bit heavy for concealed carry. I would buy one in a heartbeat and the price you are getting is a steal.

Nite sites and three mags, no brainer, get up early.

I work for homeland security and I have a P229 .357.  It has over 20K rounds through it and it is still running like new.  In fact I am going to buy another for myself this time the 229 Elite.  That is a great price if you don't want it I will get it.

The 229 is the only SIG I've ever even been interested in, and for that price, locally, you should go for it.  You won't ever lose money on it at that price point, should you ever want to resell yourself.

Please tell us you bought one, or two!
