Just got a used sig
« on: April 21, 2013, 11:03:27 AM »
Howdy all
  I just bought a used sig 226 for $230 and was wondering if it was a good deal.
From what I can find out about it online it was made in 1998 in West Germany.
It has a few cosmetic spots on the slide (finish is wore off a little) but overall is in very good condition. It shoots great with the little I have shot it so far as 9mm is hard to come by around here.


Anyway from what I can find online it seems like a good deal what do you all think ? Oh btw this is my first sig.

Sounds good but we need a good pic to be sure!  ;)

Consider a SIG service package. Factory will detail strip inspect replace springs and install new nite sights for <$150. At minimum have the locking block pins replaced, and throw in new springs. The pins are important for longevity.


Keep grease on the rails and run lots of rounds through her, you'll both be happy.

Sounds like an excellent deal.  I think you're going to get a lot of enjoyment from your new gun.

Me too! and Welcome to the outdoor forum Python. When you have time tell us about your shooters.
