No not mine, but definitely a cool sight to see at my LGS today, #11 of 75 on consignment.
Looked to be in excellent condition with case and everything included. Not the sort of thing I buy, but an interesting and rare pistol either way.
Anybody have one or have saw one?This message has been edited. Last edited by: bac1023,

I have three.
#1 #36 and #49
I was gonna collect them all, but Pullicords wouldn't give me his, and I also ran out of money...

Mind my asking what they were asking for the gun and the name of the gun shop?

This NOS one sold for a little over $5k almost 3 years ago on GB. A bidding war, of course.

Keystone always seems to do well.
This one was $3000. Not new old stock, but great shape with everything from factory that I could tell.

I posted this elsewhere, regarding the finish:

So, what kind of finish is on these Limited Edition P245s, and who did them? It's not SIG in house for sure. And, it's a 2004 gun, so it's not Klein because they were no longer in the firearm business. The link above gives some hint. It says, "Introduced in 2004. This .45 ACP pistol limited to 75 guns. Features Teflon-impregnated nickel slide, frame, trigger, hammer, etc. Hand-tuned action. Target crowned barrel. Novak low-carry sights, limited edition markings. Weight about 27 oz." Teflon-impregnated nickel would be NP3. ROBAR invented NP3, and his firearm division was still in full swing at the time.
So, it would seem the finish is NP3 and not just Nickel.

I have traditional German P245 Nitron, "ILAFLON" finish, Klein "factory" nickel, two tone, and the NP3 finish of the Custom "x of 75" pistols.
The Custom Shop are the best fit and finish, but all the P245s I own, every one of them are some of the best firearms I have.
I don't think there is a P245 that would disappoint anyone.

they are beautiful; I was fortunate enough to have bought #73 when it first came out. Unfortunately I had to sell it along with a few other special weapons when my wife had a sudden stroke, and heart failure.

My 245 is just the regular run of the mill nitron finish, but still love that gun and glad I found it.

That makes sense, as it looked a little different than nickel P Series Sigs I’ve seen over the years.
