A few months ago while perusing the auction gun site I found a dealer in the Denver area that typically has 200+ guns listed at any point in time. I've had some extra money to spend on toys this year so I keep an eye on their sales. They recently had a SP2340 listed and the opening price was quite low at $300. I went over to the shop to fondle it and check it out. I had never really ever heard of the SP guns...I live under a rock.

This gun was in MINT condition. It looks like it had been fired just a few times. Two of the 3 mags it came with were still in the wrappers. I came here and searched for 2340 and read a bunch of posts. I know it has the stupid proprietary rail, but I'm not going to put a light on it. I told myself that if I could get it for $400 I would buy it. I have almost no self control when it comes to auctions, so I wound up paying $410 for it.

I really like picking up guns from this local seller as I don't have to pay shipping, and there's no FFL transfer fee when buying a gun they sell. They seem to have quite a few guns on consignment and from estate sales.

.40 S&W being somewhat out of favor is really working out for me as the guns seem to sell at a ~15% discount compared to 9 MM.

Nothing wrong with that deal at all.

Well done.

The 9 should drop in.

Well done, I had one in .357 Sig, wish I had kept it, it was a great pistol.

It does, although a little laterally loose in the barrel hood. For more options, see if you can find the 357SIG barrel, not an easy find, but out there... 3 calibers, one gun.

Sig has the .357SIG barrel also. https://www.sigsauer.com/barrel-sp2022-357sig.html

Nice pick up! That was my first Sig circa 2004. Sold it less than a year later to buy a P229 TT, but recently managed to pick up a SP2022 so I guess I’ve come full circle.

You will love it. I have the 2022 and 2340. They are fantastic guns. Very under rated, accurate and comfortable to shoot.

Cool!

Did the same with the P250. Traded it for a Gen2 Glock 22.

Wanted another P250 and found a German version several years later.

Very nice! I like the Sig Pro, it's one of those guns that's always been on my "some day" list. The 2340 and 2009 have a neat asethetic to them with the older styling compared to the 2022. I like both versions, but the older style seemed to get phased out relatively quickly.

Great deal! 2009s and 2340s are great guns. I agree with you on the savings you can get on 40 S&W firearms nowadays.

I bought the newer version 2022 a while back and then picked up a 357/40 slide with the two barrels and some magazines from a another member here....

The only thing I don't like about these is that long disconnect/locking rod on the side...

Agreed! I'll be picking up some used .357 SIG and 9mm barrels as I see them for a great price. Mags too...you can never have too many mags.

When I bought that 2022 from a member here it came in a big ass Law Enforcement Sig Case... blue...and I was kind of disappointed because I like the regular Sig cases better... but after I picked up the 357/40 slide and barrels and magazines I need that case to barely get it all in.

Picked up the more popular cousin to the 2340, a 2022 in 9 mm. Picked it up from the same place were I got the 2340. I haven't even shot the 2340 yet, but I can't seem to pass up a good deal. Looking forward to shooting them side by side.

The 2022 only came with 1 mag, but did some with the extra grip.

Excellent. Try the 9mm slide on the Swiss frame. It's the Legos of guns.

1967, you only got one mag for the 2022?

I got one I was given in a gift box that I don’t have a 2022 to use. It’s yours if you want it.

1 magazine is a crime!

Congrats on the Sig Pro pistols! They are one of my personal favorites and offer quite a bit of bang for your buck.

Thank you, sir! I sent an email.
