I found this P228 on an auction site last weekend. It's a 2013 German model. What is unique, at least to me, is the serial number is sequential to the same model in the OP. | |||

Does your 2013 P228 use the old 13rd mags, or can it take the 15rd P229-1 mags? It appears from the serial number that your P228 might have a P229-1 frame. EDIT: Or did you just find it but not buy it? | |||

Nope, it's still the same old frame taking the 13-rounder. The only factory original P228 that can take the 229-1 mag is the stainless frame one. Of course, if you are one of those who do FranfenSIGs, then, you can always use the 229-1 frame to built a "P228" that take the 229-1 mag. Here is one (the frame is originally that of the M11A1 of mine). I got rid of the upper, and now, it's a "P228". Q | |||

It uses the original P228 mags & yes it is mine. | |||

I have a 228 that the serial # starts with "B 228" ...You, higher mammal. Can you read? ....There's nothing sexier than a well worn, functional Sig! | |||

No I did not. | |||

Any major differences between the newer Sigs I.e. "AJU" prefix and the older German models? I'm about to pick one up via trade. | |||

I've got a Sig 228, made in Germany, but it's a late model with a rail. Meaning, a 228 slide on a 229 frame. Came with 13 round magazines but the 229-1's do not magazines fit. Sig P220 Elite Dark, W. German 220/226 Navy/226 Tac Ops/226R Stainless/228/229 Legion/229R/M11-A1D Glocks, HK, Walther, XDs, etc, etc... | |||

I started with nothing, and still have most of it |
Have not read the entire thread yet, but isn't there another color box - Silver plastic for LEO guns? Correct me if I'm wrong, thanks.... Edited to add: I once also had a factory DAO P228 that had the DAO grips, i.e. not cut INSIDE for the decock lever. From the outside they looked the same. I posted them on here years ago and there a good thread about them, most never having seen any. Any info about those? "While not every Democrat is a horse thief, every horse thief is a Democrat."

Yes, I have two pairs of these without the lanyard cutouts. They look like they will accept a decocker but the area is to thick to allow it.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Sigman88, | |||

Would a .357Sig exchange kit work on a 228? | |||

Bent but not broken |

If you swapped out the locking insert it will most likely fit. However, I wouldn't recommend it or do this myself since the P228 frame was designed for the 9mm cartridge and may not be able to handle it. ~ ante omnia armari | |||

It doesn't work. Not because the frame cannot handle the .357Sig, but because the 228 frame cannot take the .40/.357 mag. The only exception is the SS frame of the Special Configuration P228 noted in the OP. Q | |||
