I just bought a Sig 228 and 230 (alloy). It was kept in a safe without a dehumidifier and both have a lot of surface rust and some pitting. The owner was a non-gun person and didn't take care of them.

I would like them refinished and gone through. What business would you folks recommend?

thanks

If you're looking for just refinishing then Cummings Custom Refinishing would be a good place to start:

Or, if you want, you could send it back to Sig for an action package to go along with a factory refinish:

https://www.sigsauer.com/sig-s...ervices-and-upgrades

I've gone both routes and have been pleased with the final result from both companies.

Note: both CCR and Sig offer specials on their services sometime during the year which could save $50-$75.

Edit to add: I looked at the relevant Sig packages and didn't see refinishing specifically stated but my pistol did get a new finish when I sent it in. It's been a while so I don't know if anything has changed so a call to Sig about what you want and what they will do would be good to avoid any assumptions and possible disappointment.

Thanks....I'll give Sig a call Monday.

A BIG ++++1 for CCR.

Brad and Mary at CCR have done a lot of work for me over the years, full guns and several parts.
Always quality work.
Since I'm bored right now, I'll give you the full tour.

Gen 1 P239 SAS DAK
Before


Complete gun and mags finished in black Cerahide with CPII controls and barrel.



I then sent the slide in for CPII for a 2-tone look.


P229 SAS


Complete gun done in Crehide; don't remember the color, with black controls, barrel, guide rod, and mags
Pics may be confusing; I kept swapping this gun back and forth from DAK to DA/SA



Took this beater WG P226 in on a trade and sent it CCR.
Black Cerahide frame with CPII slide, barrel, and controls



A few Glock slides and barrels done in CPII







And, my Ruger LCP right after I got it back from the Ruger recall.
Even did the CTC screws, I ended up polishing that barrel.
All these years have gone by, and it's still my most carried handgun.
