My local gun shop has a kf dated p226 with all matching serial numbers. It has a gray frame. Did sig ever produce gray frame p226’s? Also what would be the going price for this gun? They have it listed for $750 which seems high.
Thinking about offering $650 but not totally sure what the gun is worth. Can y’all help a brother out?

Never heard of, or seen, a factory original "gray" frame old German P226. Now, since it's a CPO, they could have refinished the frame, whoever "they" are. I'd stay away.

You’re better off looking for an agency turn-in.
I agree. Sig has done some questionable spray-over bake-on type finishes on the CPO's in the past and the minute they start to wear - they look like crapola.
These were black finishes a tad bit lighter than the original. Doesn't sound like the finish on the gun you are looking at though. Still very questionable.
You can get some really good deals by looking around the net and some auction sites. $650-750.00 is way too high for a cpo when new ones are only $800.00 or less. The MK25 is a neat gun but me personally, I wouldn't pay the premium for one. A standard 226 will be more gun than you will ever use/abuse.
