2005 Just got my concealed carry permit.
P229 two tone with nickel controls. Chambered in 357 sig. Have since added a 40 cal and Bar-Sto 9 mm conversion barrels. Will never sell it (although I tried once here). Never did carry it!

Gosh, I think it was a superbly accurate
P226 when they were first introduced in the US early 90's ? I remember trading it, then buying it back later from the gunshop.

It was the K Cote model, and I shot it a lot. I installed the short reach trigger, the finish never showed any wear on the outside. This was during the time I was just about reloading every day.


Then a man at another gunshop really wanted it and offered me a price way above what it was worth. Foolish me sold it, never seeing it again.

Then 2 European 9mm P220's, both accurate, followed by a P230. My last Sig was a SP2022 40/357 Sig, which a forum member purchased. Should have kept that one.

Currently, I am Sig less.

found this forum while researching for that purchase, joined shortly after

since then I have picked up a few;
2022
365XL (times 2, my wife wanted one)
716i
320 AXG

took the 320 and the 226 to the range the other weekend, the 320 is new, the 226 is not, - I haven't shot the 226 in awhile, butter....
i could not have have made a better decision
need more range time with the 320

SO many Sigs.. I think it was a P6 the ones that came in the Blue Box and were around $300. When you could still buy Magazines for them... I picked it up August 2008 because that is when I joined SIGforum on the 10th Smile

My first SIG was a new JJ Herndon P226 I bought in 1989 as my first duty gun. Foolishly sold it off 3-4 years later when my agency went to .40 and I went to GLOCK 22.
I lamented the decision to let that 226 go for a very long time. I repented to the Sig God by recently picking up another JJ Herndon P226 in like new condition and within a few thousand units in serial number. Life is good now.

Being an Air Force guy, I was a Beretta guy through and through. Until my buddy let me shoot his P229 that is. That was my first Sig I purchased, back in the late 90s and I've never looked back.

In the mid-1980's the police department I worked for revised the policy that allowed officers to carry single action only 9mm pistols. Although we could still carry other personally owned/department approved duty weapons, our handguns now were limited to DA/SA systems. I replaced my Belgium produced Browning Hi-Power with a W. German Sig-Sauer P226, the first of it's kind carried by an officer with my agency. It was also my first Sig and served me well for more than a decade. I still own it.

P226 with factory threaded barrel in 2005, still NIB.
Several others have followed, many shooters but others still just safe queens.
