Yes. I bought mine for $280.00 from AIM around that time frame.

I picked up one of the German Police Dept trade-ins from AIM back then. I saw this thread and thought I should pick up a couple extra mags. Now that I think about it, I don't think my P6 has been out of the safe in 15 years.

The P225/6 is one of the most comfortable pistols for my hands. In a ban state, it would be a fantastic carry piece. But in a free state, you can find a number of micro compacts that are smaller, almost as comfortable, and with nearly double (if not double) the capacity.

I found three in the "what do these mags fit" box at the LGS. Bought all three for $10 each.

Adios,

Me too, found one marked P6 at the gunshop on Hwy 17 just N of Fredericksburg, VA, for $10. I now check the mag box in every LGS I enter!

Yes, Please contact me at my email, I have no use for it and happy to see someone use it. Regards.

19 years ago, N.I.B. P225's were selling for $400 at gun shows.

I couldn't find the mag that I was offer for the P6. I am sorry & apologize to everyone that interested.

None more than when they realized there was a market for the P225 and so they released the P225A1 with an incompatible magazine.

Meanwhile the mags that came with the Gen 5 G19 I bought last year work perfectly in the Gen 3 G19 I bought about 15 years ago, and the mags from my Beretta M9A4 work perfectly in the 92fs I bought 20 years ago.

Yes, when they announced the P225A1, I thought “Oh, good, they’ll start offering OEM P225 magazines again.” Designing the P225A1 with a unique magazine that was compatible with nothing else in their catalog was a d*** move I didn’t see coming, even from SIG Sauer.

You are describing one reason why I eventually benched all of my SIGs except the P365, and switched to Glocks for almost everything.

For the win.

The above sums up my entire experience and explains why I no longer own any Sigs.

It's a basic stamped steel magazine, similar in design to the 1911. I agree that $60 is relatively affordable considering what they're bringing today, but ridiculously over-priced in general.

Everyone's opinion: When the flood of P6s first came stateside they were a bargain. For $395 at almost any LGS, you got a real steel police trade-in pistol, and usually two mags. They were an incredible value at those prices, and several carried them.

Strictly my personal opinion: At current pricing, they're overweight, under-capacity safe queens and/or examples of the "wonders" people can do with ceracote.
