Does Sig offer CPO’s anymore? Seemed like there was always a fair selection of CPO’s on GB, not so much now.

It's been so long, that I couldn't remember what the initials CPO stood for. The only certified pre owned anything that I saw recently was during a visit to the Sig Experience in New Hampshire in July of '23. These were just used P226 and P320 magazines. No refurbed guns.

I worked in a gun range in downtown Dallas 20 years ago, and I want to say we had a few CPO guns that had been refurbed by Sig, probably P226's and P229's.

I wish this could be more helpful, but your assessment of going the way of the Dodo is very likely accurate.

Once I discovered the CPO program I became a huge fan.

I have quite a few CPO's and if I knew they were going the way of the DODO I would have scooped up a P226 and a P226 with the E2 grip chambered in 40.

I get emails from one company that regularly has CPO Sigs but they are usually the 320 series or 365. (I am not sure if we are allowed to post a link but I can provide it)

I did see a 2022 that made me curious.

But the other sites all say out of stock

Just guessing, but with the emphasis being on striker poly Sigs now, doing CPO guns are not a priority.

Two possible answers... SIG realized people buying the used guns instead of new guns made them less money and decided it wasn't a great idea.(and/or decided the effort in doing it wasn't worth it)

Or like surplus military rifles, eventually the supply of large batches runs out, or at least dries up to the point of not being marketable and worth the trouble.

I wish I had grabbed a few more back then. I picked up a non-rail P226 from the CPO program. Great gun.

My US$0.02. Buy a beatup P226 or P229 from GunBroker and then buy a stripped frame from Matrix Precision along with a spring kit. Then transfer the parts from the old frame to the new and install the new springs.

In my opinion you end up with a pistol better than Sig's CPO's.

I picked up a P229 in .40 with .357 Sig spare barrel about 6 yrs. ago.
It's in rotation as a truck gun and I shoot it once a month.
Got plenty of .40 and .357 ammo for it and it's dead on @ 25 yds.

I think the supply of used P226X guns is waning, especially since most of the ones that got the factory CPO treatment were likely agency trade-ins, and there aren't many left in agency circulation these days. There are still police trade P226s and P229s on GunBroker, but most of them are in .40 or .357 Sig and the poor sales of guns chambered in those calibers probably makes them not worth the effort for the factory to refurbish.


I do remember seeing a bunch of P320 CPOs back around 2018-2019...IIRC they were priced right around $375. My guess is that they were also agency trades, likely pre-upgrade guns that got sent back to the factory and replaced with new ones, then Sig upgraded and re-sold the returns as CPOs. Those have dried up too, though, as I can't imagine there are too many pre-upgrade guns floating around out there anymore, especially in agency use.

years ago, I picked up 2 SIG P228 CPOs. Still have them.

Most likely because most LE are not issues Sigs anymore.

CPO= Certified Pre Owned
I snagged a P225 many years ago for a song. I still have it.

My first Sig was a CPO P229 in .40 from Ordnance Outsellers. It’s been that long.
