thank you gentlemen for the kind words. im like a kid in a kandy store with this one. Ive owned a 95% condition one in the past and while still a fantastic gun, it didn't have all the accompanying accoutrements with it and had been fired. I made the mistake of selling it off several years back and had regretted it almost instantly. to the disdain of some of you, myself included, this one being unfired after all these years, will stay that way. I have two other 228s that I shoot/carry, so ill shoot those while thinking of this one! lol. attached is a pic of my previous 228N.  | |||

Max, first off, thank you for your service during that time in our history. Always good to run across fellow MPs. I was with the 18th MP in Germany from 88-92. We were V Corps but attached to 3AD and were 99% garrison/police MPs. best time of my life and wish I could go back. | |||

What a nice looking 228. If I could only own one gun it would be a nickel 228. Congratulations. | |||

Congrats on your scratching of an itch. While I'd like to say that it's a beauty, however I'm just not into the nickeled SIGs. About the only time I like nickel is on a Python or a marine finish pump shotgun, or when they're polished to pimp-level perfection like my M39-2 has; must channel my inner gangsta-lean, I s'pose...  | |||

Old school cool for sure! That's an excellent find and I agree, the extras make it more than worth it. | |||

Beautiful pistol, congrats! My first SIG was a P228 nickel two-tone KG bought new in 1996. It is my only P228 and I'll never let it go it is such a great pistol, with some other meaning and sentimental value too. Definitely will be a family heirloom. Just don't wear out the nickel finish with all that fondling and caressing I'm sure is going on.  -Dtech __________________________ "I've got a life to live, people to love, and a God to serve!" - sigmonkey "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value." - Albert Einstein "A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition" ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

That is a real beauty. There is one on gunbroker I have been watching starting bid $1250 that ends tomorrow. Any opinions on the price appreciated.... This one says some wear on the front strap. | |||

Very nice time warp. Just imagine some poor collector finally parted with one of his treasures! Exceptional find! | |||

thanks everyone! I seen the 228N on GB and IMO, that was too much money for the gun in that condition. I didn't see what it ended up going for but id wait for a better example. it took me several years to find one in this condition, that I could afford, but it was worth the wait. | |||

Santa came at 4pm Christmas day for me as I am the one who secured the 228N off GB. I have always wanted a stainless or nickel P228 and $1250 seemed reasonable. It will ship here to NY minus the 13 round Nickel magazine and i will need to procurr 10 round magazines elsewhere. We will see how it looks as I expect to have it on Monday. My carry preference is single stack pistols, hence the P225 is my current primary carry pistol, so I can't see myself carrying much other than to the range or Church. | |||

I certainly wasn't trying to disparage your purchase, I simply meant for me, I was looking for a pristine example, so I waited years to find one. post pics of your 228 when it arrives and let us all ogle it. I checked my box of 228 mags and all 30 of them are OEM 13 rounders or id make you a trade offer on the nickel mag. been looking for an extra one of those myself. | |||

Call Jacks County Guns from the GB site they prolly still have the 13 round nickel mag. | |||

Congrats. The only problem I would have with that pistol is that I would have to buy another older one because that is way to nice to shoot. I hate it when companies make a gun so nice you don't want to shoot them. Sig is very slick at doing that. | |||
