My name is Peter and I am an addict.

So, I had (2) 1994 220's, a 2000 P226, a 1980 P6, and a 2011 TacOps 1911. And then I added a real clean 1995 P228. And my Sig collection was complete! Or so I thought.

Along comes a very clean 1983 (Interarms) P226. Ok, just this one more and I'll really be complete. No ... just add this little P365 and I'm done. Or so I thought.

Ok, my birthday is coming up. I really NEED this little M11A1.

That was 2 weeks ago, and now after reading the thread about Aim Surplus P229 DAK .357 Sigs and I'm jonesing for both a DAK gun in.357 Sig. Or maybe the Aim Surplus P220 DAK?

Is there a 12 step program that doesn't include 12 more Sigs ??

Aw hell ... like this thread started ... I am an addict!

Rehab is for quitters.

No, it's a TEN step program. Unfortunately, it requires surgical removal of ten fingers.

*sigh* I know the feeling.

For the longest time it was looking like my P239 SAS was going to be my last (and only) Sig. But then the P320 happened, I decided I wanted a .45 ACP with a light for an HD pistol, so... Then a buddy of mine gifted me a P229 Sport. That got me to thinkin' I'd really like a P229 TDA in 357 Sig for carry (I even bought mags in preparation), but, before that happened along came the P210A Target.

I think I still want a P229 in 357 Sig and I still haven't scratched my P220 itch.

For the moment I'm all set, mostly, just need a 227 to complete my straight.

225, 226, ..., 228, 229, 230.

After that I'm sure, I won't need another one.

I'm pretty sure, I think.

Well maybe just an MCX.

Shit, anyone got a website for that 12 step program?

You guys are all fine.
The ones with the real problems post pictures of their awesome Sig collections.

I'm in the one of each camp. SO I'm pretty sure you are not an addict and don't have a problem.

T.Webb - welcome to the club. I too, am an addict.

Hello Peter, sounds like you have a good start.

I am an addict also. While I will pick up a P226 that is insanely cheap, hoarding P220s can be fun!

Hello, T. Webb.
Welcome to the group.
I just come for the coffee and donuts.
I can quit any time I want!

My local shop has a 227. Need contact info?

Yeah and when he gets here you can ask him how many safes he has for just his 228s & 229s.

Well you can at least tell yourself that you're thankful that you didn't become infected with the SIGness for Swiss and/or MasterShop guns. Of course, such reasons for taking out that home equity loan could be lurking around one's noggin right about now...oh, gosh darn it all.

Dude, you're not even in double-digits yet! Wait until you have multiples of everything....And then you start collecting roll marks!

Yes, it's a SIGness!

Probably as many safes as most folks have guns.

T. Webb, You are nowhere close to being a Sig addict. You have a minor interest compared to many here.

Seriously, you are nowhere near any sort of a problem area. Best wishes on your ongoing collection.

The FIRST step is admitting you have a problem.
The SECOND is buying another.

Rinse and repeat.

Good news!

It's still cheaper than an opiate addiction!
