Yes they did, both in full size and carry versions. But, their labels are correctly “RTSS”, not “SSS”. “SSS” like on your box label should indicate an all natural stainless gun.

"Your serial number pre-dates our database, which only goes back to 2005-2006. Unfortunately, we have no information regarding that serial number. We do not have access to German production numbers and apologize for the inconvenience."
Great choice! I just bought a 2007 built Sig P220 ST 2 months ago. Like yours, mine has the internal extractor. I had issues with FTE’s and doing the live round extractor test extractor barely held the 230 gr round. Called SIG got a free label, shipped it on a Tuesday and it was back home in 1 week with a new extractor! Sig still does have the internal extractors in case you have issues. Gray guns has a $200 fix, I’m not quite sure what exactly he does, but it’s awesome Sig still will service it for free. Hopefully you’ll be good to go, but in case you do, you’ll be covered! Enjoy, it’s a fantastic, accurate .45!

I have sent ten P-series guns to Sig for the SSP, AEP, and SRT treatment (220s, 226s, and a 229,) and this one will go as well. To be honest, though, I don't think they'll be able to improve the action, so this will be more of a "please look her over, replace the night sights, fix anything else that needs fixing" trip.
While it may be a bit smaller, I have a P238 in the same reverse two tone finish.

Off to Sig for the Sig Service Package (w/ X-Ray night sights) and Short Reset Trigger.
She will also be evaluated an Action Enhancement. They said that sometimes with older firearms, the internal parts will not be able to be polished and honed. Ten of my Classic P-series guns have been to Sig, and most times they sent back a little bag with the parts they couldn't polish/gone.
Truth be told, I'm not sure they can make the DA pull and better, but I'd let them try.
They'll get two more guns from me for similar treatment- P220 SSE and a P226 ASE 9mm- and then I'm calling it quits.
