Gents,

I just scored a very nice P228 at my local gun store in Salem, Oregon. The pistol was a trade-in...the owner had just sent it to GreyGuns for over $400.00 dollars of work(receipt was in the box).
Went to the range yesterday and have decided the pistol is a keeper...to be sure. Nice pistol at a good price. What could be better!

Pics, or it didn't happen.

It didn't.

It couldn't have.

Three Texans said so. It must be true.

Truth be told!

Ask a teenage for help.

Congratulations! And if another member hasn’t already offered, email a pic or two or however many to the email address in my profile and I’ll post them here for you.

One does NOT need to go to the range to determine if a P228 is a 'keeper'...Just sayin'

And by the way...

Posting a pic here for OP weshowe - if you’d like any more posted, just send them on!

Gun Crafters? Always worth a visit if you're in town.

BTW, any P288 is a keeper.

"BTW, any P228 is a keeper", Well Vern, I couldn't have said it any better ! IMHO, anyone who buys a 9mm P.229 & is expecting just an newer version of the 228 is usually somewhat disappointed. ( At least from the people I've spoken with. ) There's just 'something' about that old 228's in relation to their size, & especially weight that tends to make us really appreciate them. Too bad that they only hold 13+1, but in reality, are those 2 additional rounds all that important when you consider the whole package ? I tended to forget just how fond I was of my 228, as I pretty much retired it when I Retired, preferring instead something a bit smaller as my new primary CCW. But when I started playing with it t again just recently, I truly realized just how much I missed it, & for now it will remain amongst my using pistols for at least the foreseeable future. Congratulations to the O/P on an apparently super P.228, especially so with all the Bruce Grey work on it !!!

Best, Dom P.

Nice score. Congratulations!
