https://www.amazon.com/photos/...oU4MGtq5z8N1qTegQ9TF Picked it up today. Looks pretty clean. Came with the box, papers, 2 10 round mags. It appears to be a June 2004 GOTM. I can't wait to take it out and shoot it. | ||

Congratulations! If it's the one where I think you got it from, that was a great buy. Q | |||

It was listed as "factory stainless". I'm quite happy.  | |||
|

Yeah, clearly seller didn't know what "SN" really means, and just went by the "STAINLESS" marking on the slide. Q | |||

You mention GOTM in your post. Does the box have gotm in the serial number? If not then its not a gotm. Reason i ask is i had a 229-40-SN that wasnt a gotm. I have owned several gotm sigs and the boxes will be marked as gotm. | |||

Beautiful pistol. Sounds like you scored. Just for reference here is the label on the P228 GOTM I bought back in 2005.  | |||

Whether OP's gun is GOTM or not, I don't know. But, fyi, not all GOTMs will have the month/year on the label indicating it's a GOTM. Here is the April '04 GOTM, the P228 with Hi-Viz front and comes with one P226 mag with the Freed grip adapter. The label gives no hints that it is a GOTM.   This message has been edited.

12131, why can I never see your photos here in Sig Forum? Just the little box or nothing at all. Same with your Colt ad, no photos. | |||

| Live for today. Tomorrow will cost more  |
Very nice - congratulations! I'd like to ask you a question offline about the 10 round mags if you don't mind. My email is in my profile. Thanks! suaviter in modo, fortiter in re | |||

Does your serial start with "AM"? From looking at the serial number listing and the GOTM list an "AM" serial number would have been around June/2004. If yours is an "AM" serial number then going off what 12131 is saying about not all GOTM were marked as such yours would probably be one. My 229-40-SN was verified by sig as being a Dec/2001 build date and its serial number was AL 124XX. It also had a Stainless steel factory Bbl. Not a coating but a Stainless factory Bbl. | |||

They're showing up just fine. Not sure what's going on with your end. Q | |||

Mine is also a AL124xx. That info was very helpful. Thank you. Not a lot of info about these out there. | |||
|

Does your AL have the stainless steel Bbl? Mine also came with Hogue finger groove rubber grips. | |||
|
| Member |
Yes. Barrel appears to be stainless, not nickel. | |||
|
| Firearms Enthusiast |
How close to AL12444 is yours? Looks like they were both from the same production run. | |||
