Two New Acquisitions, New School and Old School P225’s
I thought I’d post a couple pictures my two new acquisitions. A new German P225 and a P225 A1.

Very very nice! Lubs me some P225A1 (so much so that I sold the P225).

Congratulations, can't go wrong with either one. I also have both and can't decide which one I like best.

Here's mine. The SRT kit improves it immeasurably.

Did you use the P226 SRT kit or is there a special one for the P225? I assume the former.

Nice set of twins. I kick myself for selling my old one.

I used the sear and safety lever from the P220 SRT kit. These parts are the same for the P225/6/8/20. SIG lists the SRT for the P225 on their website, where you ship it to them for $175 or so. Otherwise you can't find the drop in parts for the P225, and most other SRT kits are drying up for some reason.

Why SIG wouldn't want to keep a ~$40 parts kit supplied to vendors, and instead make people ship their guns to the Custom Shop for ~$175, is a mystery....

Indeed...quite the mystery...

Good thing I have a bunch of P220 SRT kits...

Thanks for the confirmation.

I just like the old models. I remember getting one at Gander Mountain for $299 + tax. Won't find that deal, or a Gander Mountain these days!
