arsenal refinished for 30 bucks more. 330 for essentially Sig Swiss made 9mm pistol isn't bad.
I'll have to get one because its worth more. Still working on that SIG AMT thing. Few days and I might have it. I bought a PE57 parts kit and the fricking thing is incredible. Easily by far the most interesting and well made rifle I've seen even though the reciever was missing.

i want about 50 different firearms, and i have limited funds...

i'm seriously thinking about getting another j frame, this time in scandium (i have aluminum that fires +p. the scandium takes 357mag and is MUCH lighter). i carry my j frame more than anything else, so i'd get use out of it

The good people at CCR have it and are almost done putting the finishing touches on it. It will have nite sights, new sliver finish, sig grip and hex screws, and the trigger pull will be shortened. It will look like this when completed and most likely shoot better. The wait has been way too long bit since I am no hurry I guess it is no big deal.

To Rotty37 at AR15.com thanks for the inspiration and the pic.

I love the way after I pull the trigger for the sixth shot I always flinch....forgetting it is a five shot!!

when the shtf.

and i'd probably put +p 38 in the chambers still... maybe +p for the 1st chamber and the next 4 with 357mag

these surplus guns don't have any mechanical issues as they're made in Switzerland or Germany. The Blueing can be a bit thin, but Im thinking of getting one of the arsenal refinished ones for $330. Opinions?

Once...

I felt like paying homage to my 228. A nice single stack is what I was looking for when I decided upon the purchase. If you are looking for 15 or 16 rounds per mag and your hands are overly large than the 225 is a skip. That being said for 300 bucks and some clean up this can be a very beautiful and serviceable weapon.

They've been gone over by a qualified gunsmith and anything that needs replacing gets replaced. Usually, these PD turn-in are very gently used, but have excessive finish wear because of frequent holstering and unholstering. The Gen.3 G21 I bought was a PD trade-in. It was in great shape, save for normal holster wear. I got it, with night sights, for less than $400. I sent it to Birdsong for a Black-T finish, and now it looks as good as it shoots.

He did me a great favor in finding me a nice K31. I would definitely do business with him again.<ul><li><a href="http://www.militarygunsupply.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=141">http://www.militarygunsupply.com/shop2/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;products_id=141</a</li></ul>

never broke down and ended up buying one though..

If all goes well. I am laying down 7K for an AMT in a few days. 210s are 2K+ for a pistol!

My friend with a classIII liscense will attempt to make a post sample from a Stg57(PE57 parts kit)using the AMT reciever as a template.

cant go wrong with that.

is that the 225 was the start of the mas produced Sig that put the sig gun in the hands of the civi population.

Besides the 225 being single stack, and the 229 is made to handle .40cal, how does the 225 compare to the 226 and 228 (and 229)?

Is it frame size or are there other factors?

You practice with a weapon that has a small amount of recoil, but will use one with higher recoil when your life depends on it? Should be the other way around.

My friend shoots +p for practice, but then shoots regular loads for qualification. Much easier to bring back on target. Speed and accuracy are noticeably increased.

225 was indeed the first major exported pistol and go them out of the niche pistol market which the 210 definately is a niche gun. Extremely rare outside of Switzerland.

Definately post a pic of your 225 when you get it. I'm interested.

You could practice your trigger pull with no ammo at all.

We're all adults here so I assume most guys here don't really have problems handing a gun with high recoil as long as they don't flinch before the next shot.

Sounds like you do competition shooting which then would be ideal for you to shoot with the same gun with consistent loads almost all the time.

For me, I run hundreds of standard rounds through a pistol and if I like it, I'll get High power loads and try them and the use that for defense.

The 228, 226 and the 229. Although the design has been tweaked over time and models, the 225 is really the starting point in Sig's ergonomic concealable semi auto pistol offerings.

If you need more convincing, have someone else load the cylinder and have 'em toss an empty or snap cap in every now and then.

When you see the muzzle flail about with your flinch you should be *embarassed* not excited! Part of why I find dry-firing to be such a humbling experience.
