First SiG was late 70’s or 80’s, stainless 230 … at first I was in love … then something else came along and I needed to sell or trade it to help fund some other new sparkle… I’ve had several over the last 40 or so years but I never seem to keep them.

My first Sig was a P220 bought in 1990. I asked the forum if there was a P220 in 9mm cuz the .45 ACP was so awesome. They steered me to CDNN who had 220's in 9mm (a surplus for the CMP). I bought one and it is absolutely incredible!!!!

I think I bought my first P220R in 2007. That's when I first joined the forum under the username P220R. Somehow I lost the login and had to make my current one. I was torn between a Kimber 1911 and P220, but the P220 won out. I later sold it to one of my really good friends to fund the purchase of a new P220 Carry SAS Gen 2, which I still have.

First SIG was a P238, the Nightmare edition, it was all black. Bought it for an EDC, but wanted a 9mm, so I gave it to my son, who still has it. Then onto a 365, then 365 SAS, and finally the XL version. Then a 226, too heavy, traded it for a 320 X compact, which I still have. And finally, a Mosquito , in which I had to buy a used barrel so it would no longer jam.

W. German Sig P228 LEO trade in from CDNN. $499 shipped to my FFL in the early 2000s.

226 MK25 in 2015

Same here, and it's still my all-around favorite SIG; I've owned just about all of them at one time or another!

P225 in the mid 80’s

Fall of '95 Sig P-226 in 9mm for my duty gun
'96 for a P-220
Soon after the DAK's came out, I got a P-220 DAK.
There's another P-220 that found its way into the safe somewhere in there.
All work guns.

An early P220-1 (the pre-rebounding lockwork version) in .45 ACP, purchased used in 1992.

West German P220 purchased in the late 80"s. The only sig that I own. As much as I love it, I will probably not buy another another Sig.

About 1986, a NIB SIG P210-6.

Fantastic gun.

Followed by a SIG P210-5, and then a SIG-Hammerli P240 .32 S&W L

P6 when they first imported the surplus ones and they were stupid cheap.

West German P220's one all black, and one two tone. They were my first DA duty pistols, purchased new in 93.

My first handgun… a poorly ceracoated p230 that was tan and black. Bought for $225 at a gun show in Eugene, OR in 2008. I shot it A LOT and eventually traded it off. After that, a few 220’s, a couple of 226’s, a 232. I’ve had a sig in my safe since then and carried one on my hip for a few years as a reserve officer. The full timers would call it a boat anchor (226 in 40) but when I out shot them in qualification and trainings they quickly realized I meant business if the chips were down.

1st SIG was a W.German P226 with the stamped sheet metal slide back around 1994 or so. Prefix was U118xxx
Sold it long ago.

1994/95 a Sig 229 in .40S&W

I picked up a P229 in June of 2001. The Firestar I had was too small for my hands and wanted something bigger.

March 2006.

Bought a police trade-in P226 folded slide gun for $300. They had extra mags for $10. Only bought four extra mags. Should have bought more. Gun came with worn Hogue wraparounds that I replaced with then-current plastic factory grips. Never had an issue with it and shot it a lot.

I detail stripped the frame and slide a couple years back and cleaned thirty years of gunk out of it.
