Mars_AttacksGrail Acquisition Achieved! P225 Inside!
The Forum Masthead has had me coveting a 225 since day one.
As per the gunstore selling off the personal collection, I bought the least expensive 225 they had. It's a 2001, but it has box, wrappers, extra mag and all papers.

P250UA5Very nice, Marzy. A 225 is on my eventually list too, and a 357Sig 239.

pulicordsVery nice! I will always regret selling my P225 back in the 1990's. Treasure yours.

Mars_AttacksThese seem they will be like the old HK P7s.
I believe they will start becoming valuable collectibles.
I wish it had a late 80's or 90's serial number, but I took what I could get.
What year were these discontinued?

ScreamingCockatooAccording to Sig they were made up until 2019.
Is there a P6 on the side too?

2010 was the last year the P225 rolled off the assembly line.

patwNice gun for $560. I would have had to buy it as well. I kick myself for not getting a P239 at my local ffl dealer a few weeks ago. It sat on the shelf for a couple months at only $379 for the 9mm. I tormented myself saying I didn't need it but when the less dominant side of my brain finally took over and I went to go get it, it was gone.

KobrenMars Attacks my gut also told me that the P-225 would be a "modern" classic like the HK P-7. Nice score, when they rarely show up for sale they don't gather dust, for most owners the P-225 is a keeper, difficult to improve on perfection., Sig got it right the first time, A1 a disappointment.

Excellent choices

Sig M11I picked up a 2009 P225 last year and a HK P7M8 this year…
Two of my absolute favorites

Hamden106I'd be looking for a 225 too. I already have 2 mags. One is nickel or stainless (???)
Also a wrap in front rubber grip.
Just need the gun

BlackwaterNice looking P225.
I'd agree with the P225-A1 sentiment. Never felt the same to me.

Pale HorseNice, I love the P225. It’s one of my favorite guns to take to the range.

dsietsI wasn't real fond of the trigger on the used euro imported police pistol I dry fired, but for the right price...
Looking forward to the test firing video.

TheFrontRangeCongratulations! I’ve become a renewed P225 fan of late, thanks to a German and a West German each courtesy of a couple of fellow members, along with a nice stack of factory magazines.
More to come, but I couldn’t resist setting up a little Galco double-shoulder-rig action for them…
I also have a Kramer horsehide belt scabbard and magazine pouch enroute. Until then, I’ve found that a Milt Sparks IPD double-magazine IWB pouch for 1911 magazines is a fair stand-in.
