I just joined this forum and thought I'd show you why. Today I picked up my 4th Sig Sauer pistol. a LNIB 1994 West German P228. The gun came with the box, manual and test target. Its easily 99% and only shows a few very minor handling marks. I don't think its been fired much if any at all.
I'm tickled plumb to pieces with it! Big Grin





It ain't the years, its the mileage.

Congrats and welcome.
Looks a bit like the 1991 I bought my daughter to give her on her wedding day.
Whenever that is... Cool

I gave $750 for it. Maybe a little high, but I liked it and it is in great condition. My sons can worry about price when I'm gone. Wink

Well, what do ya know? The sky is clearing, the sun is coming out and the world is drying up for the first time in days. This afternoon I think I'm gonna take this puppy to the range and try it out. Big Grin

Welcome aboard. There are more than a few people here on SF that feel the 228 is the best of the Sig pistols. Yours is a great example of why they feel that way.

Your price is fine, I paid more than that for mine 4 years ago.
