First all nickel sig. A P245


Picked up a P245 nickel this week. This makes my third 245. This pistol is not as popular as most but I am a fan of the P245.

I'm a fan as well. I think it's one of the finest compact 45s you can buy. Very underrated.

A good old German SIG, and in Nickel, too. What's not to like? Cool

Congratulations! If I hadn't picked up too many collector items this month, I would have given you a harder run. I know you will enjoy it.

one of the few P series pistols I've wanted but don't have yet. Congrats! That's a superb pistol.

nice!! I had one in nickel back in the very early 2000s I think.. I liked the 245 but the grip was a lil small for my hands unfortunately.

Until I decided to back out of the .45ACP altogether, the P245 was my regular daily carry. I found it to be the perfect fit for my small hand and very concealable and easy to shoot.

Congrats on acquiring that beauty.

Until my retarded agency dropped it from the list of acceptable BUG's, I happily carried mine in concert with my P220 for obvious reasons. It is a superb and well balanced little compact .45, possibly the best of its breed. The P220C that replaced it feels like a brick by comparison and I absolutely hate the stupid rail. Completely unnecessary on a weapon of this type.

Congratulations. I am curious, is that one of of the "1of75" special custom shop models that came out many years ago? I used to own # 73 of 75 and when my wife had a stroke, and found she needed a heart transplant i had to sell it. They were beautiful.
enjoy

Not a custom shop and no number on it.

I loved the form factor, but it was the only Sig I had that would jam. I did not keep it.

That's a beautiful gun. I'd be itching to see how some nice wood grips would look on it. Still waiting to find my first all nickel Sig.

Congrats on your find! Maybe you'll get lucky and run into one of these for P245 #4? I acquired mine when these first came out and am happy with it. In any variation, the P245 is an excellent example of Sig quality.

I had forgotten about that model. I wanted one about 15 years ago but for some reason I never acquired it. That’s a nice looking pistol!

couldn't get my hands on a 245 but I did manage a 220 compact SAS.


You get about what you pay for in this world, be it guns, autos, whiskey or clothes. Start with the best gun you can afford.
