I found a W. German P220 in the original case with all the paperwork, in great condition. I'm excited- I had a couple in the past that got sold to pay bills, including a BDA, and a 'Hawes Import' version... I love these old Sigs.This message has been edited.

Wow, great deal! I felt good about a W. German P226 in what appeared to be un-fired condition for $550 over a decade ago. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

Congrats on getting a great pistol. I picked one up a few months ago and love it. ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Very happy for you! Congrats! I got my W. German off this forum for $450, and it's amazingly accurate. Trigger pull is so good that I messaged the SF member I bought it from and asked if he'd had a trigger job done. He hadn't. It's just that good. I'm sentimental toward the P220 because it was my second duty weapon back when I was a kid in the mid-90s. I've considered selling mine to fund another project, but I just can't let the thing go. I don't own a 1911, and my 1911 friends always ask me, "Why don't you buy a 1911?" My reply is always the same. "Why do I need a 1911 when I already own the world's best .45?"  BTW, we need pics! | |||

Cool! I'm always on the lookout for an extra P220. I think I need just one more... | |||

I wondered when you posted the price, but figured there's no way it could be; but it really is a small world. I had a deal to buy that gun on Wednesday night. The seller told me he was closed yesterday but I could call today and make a down payment (I was going to do the 60 day lay away.) When I called this evening to pay the lady said the gun had been sold  I emailed the owner of the shop after talking to whoever the lady was who answered the phone and of course he won't respond to me | |||

Oh yeah- our county guys had the option of a 220 after the academy- they had to carry either a 226 or a 228...A couple guys had pimped-out 220's with hard chrome and wood grips with the PD crest inlaid in them. Us city cops had to carry S&W 6906's and then Glocks...the few of us that were 'gun guys' were jealous. When I worked plain clothes narcotics I carried a 220 often, as as policy read that for plain clothes work our 'issued weapon' had to be within access- which to me meant in the glove box and the sig in my pants. _____________________________ God Rocks! | |||

Damn, that's a good-looking classic P220! It doesn't even appear as if the hammer, lower slide, or any other parts have gone plum yet. | |||

With the frame update, rebounding hammer and original grips, no less. That’s a clean example of a P220 right in what many consider the sweet spot of production. You did very well, enjoy! ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

Nice find! | |||

| Go ahead punk, make my day |
One mag looks to be a Promag or other meh aftermarket, but it's still a must buy at $450. | |||

Wait, what? |
Beautiful 220- just last year I was forced into taking a new duty weapon; a new P220R to replace my well worn, well loved 1994 vintage, triple serial 220 (P226XXX). I happily carried that old beastie for 23 years. It received a Birdsong and assoc. Black-T coating in around 2000 and was slick as could be until the day it was mailed off to become paperweights.

I have that gun. I think I paid $600 and change for it new in 1995. I have since had Robar NP3 it for me and have put countless thousands of rounds through it. It really only gets better, the more I shoot it. | |||
