***The auction is open to SIGforum members with a registration date on or before May 1, 2020. The bidding opens at 450.00. Bids maybe submitted in ten dollar or twenty dollar increments.

This is a used P230SL (.380 ACP, stainless slide and frame) and there are some perks that come with the pistol. The pistol is proofed "JH" for 1987 and comes with the original box, manual, warranty card, original grips and two stainless magazines. The pistol wears a beautiful set of Nill grips which seem to have been a late edition to the pistol, as they appear to be in perfect shape. The wear to the pistol is limited to the slide flats and the high spot on the extractor. I get the impression that this was a glovebox or drawer pistol. DK148 says the bore of the pistol is perfect. It seems like the pistol was handled a good bit but shot very little.

Given that the wear to the pistol is external and cosmetic only, it occurred to me how nice it would look after a finish refresh and possibly a Cera-Hide finish. I contacted the good people at Cummings Custom Refinishing, who most of you know as 'CCR'. CCR has been a longtime member of the forum and they have many, many satisfied customers, and they have graciously agreed to bead blast the pistol and magazines (CCR says the pistol will look better than when it left the factory) and, if the winner desires, CCR will give the pistol a custom finish of the winner's choosing.

If you're not familiar with CCR's work, please take a look here.

Once the pistol has been sold it will be shipped by DK Firearms to CCR and CCR will work with the buyer to determine how the pistol will be treated. The buyer can have the pistol bead blasted only, to retain the stainless finish or, once refurbished, have the pistol coated. All refinishing work on the pistol is included as part of the selling price. Also included is the price of shipping the pistol from DK Firearms to CCR and from CCR to the buyer's receiving FFL.

We thank DK Firearms and CCR for this and look forward to seeing the finished pistol.
