Don't see these up for sale very often in my area. Was at local store and on the used shelf is a P228. Tag says with box and 4 mags for $600.00.

I’d be a buyer at that price, assuming it looked good.

Don’t know what the condition is, so the price really doesn’t tells us much.

Condition is everything, and so are a couple of magazines, but if it isn't ragged out, that sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

A little over 20 years ago I worked at a gun store a few miles north of downtown Dallas. We got a batch of surplus Israeli military P226's, and P228's. I remember the prices were below $300, but they all looked like they'd been run over by a Merkava tank. I was tempted as a restoration project, but at the time we were consistently getting refurbed P228's, in the red case from Sig, that were only a couple of hundred more, and required far less TLC, so hard pass on the surplus guns. However they sold fast.

I bought an Israeli 228 last year. I paid $600 it looks beat to hell.
Probably overpaid a bit but I always have wanted a 228 and the Israeli markings were a bonus for me.
My 226 I bought 22 years ago is my favorite pistol much for time behind this beat to hell 228 and it will be my favorite.
Did I pay too much for it? Probably. Am I mad? Not in the slightest.

ah..the good ol' days of surplus sigs.

i remember buying a few from twogunjay.

which is fitting because i just received an fcu from him for a customer (i'm an ffl) so it's good to see him still in business.

I frequent gun stores in my area when i drive near one. I will stop in and check out the used guns. Always on the hunt for a beater P225 or P232 or P239.
