Any pics and/or stories you care to share would be greatly appreciated.

The P228 - It's been through a lot, but it still goes bang with every trigger pull.

This one, KB date code (1991), triple matching #s, was bought used in 2014 and was actually originally factory 2-tone Nickel. The slide had some issue at the muzzle end that I decided to have SIG refinish it. The new Nickel finish looked nothing like the original Klein Nickel. But, more importantly, they must have overplated the darn slide, because, when I got it back, I was now unable to retract the slide. Instead of sending it back, I decided to do bubba gunsmithing myself trying to remove some stuff from the inner surface of the slide with the dremel tool. Moron. Also tried to smooth out the front edge of the chamber hood. It finally worked, and I test fired 100 rounds through it at the time without any malfunctions. But now, the darn thing looked fairly ugly.

So, I ultimately had CCR refinish the slide & barrel in their CPII in April last year. The frame was NOT refinished. And, it has been sitting in the safe until last week, when I took it to the range to test to make sure it's still good to go . Shot 200 rounds of various ammo as shown in the first 2 pics. There were zero malfunctions. Gun was then cleaned, and pics show exactly how it looks now.

What you will receive: the gun, the two original German zipperback 13-rd mags, the correct red P228 manual, and the original box.

Please, know you state/local law regarding the legality of this gun and/or mag restrictions.

I was In Civil Air Patrol in HS which doesn't count, just wanted to say you are very generous.
*Edit* My dad's current wife's dad was a WWII vet, you can count me in if you would like.

My dad served. If possible, I’d like my entry to be a proxy for him. He’s not on here. Thanks for the karma.

Great looking pistol and generous as always. Please count me in and good luck to all. I'm an active duty Army officer with 16 years of service and multiple combat deployments.
