Finally found a Sig Trailside!

[IdahoHk416]

For about the last 10 years, I have been wanting to purchase a Sig Trailside 6" Plinker model. In my area, I have only seen one other for sale, but it was a 4" model. That was 7-8 years ago.

I went into my LGS yesterday, and in the case was a like new 6" Trailside, with the box and every single accessory still there, along with all paperwork. Price was $550. I didn't hesitate after inspecting it. Bought it about 5 minutes after seeing it These have become exceedingly hard to find, and the price keeps going up on them.

The trigger on this particular example is really good. Very little take up and a crisp break. The test target supplied in the box was really good too. It is 5 shots at 25 meters. It is pictured below.

I will be taking it out this weekend to shoot it for the first time. I have 100 rounds of Winchester Match 40gr for it. I can't wait to see what it can do.

I edited out the serial number on the gun pics and the test target. That's why they look a little weird.

Very nice find! I have a 4" Trailside and it probably has the lightest, smoothest trigger on any factory gun I have ever shot. Go to Larry's Guns for accessories and service for your Trailside. I went with one of the heavier metal barrel weight because I just didn't care for the plastic one that came with the gun.

I bought a 6" Target model when they first came out. 1,000's
and 1,000's of rounds through it. Very, very accurate.
I compete with this pistol and have done very well over the years.
This past season the safety broke. It will go to Larry's before next season. I am also considering having him put a reddot on it.
Have fun!!! Great choice.

Congratulations ! You will have lots of fun with that.

...always a good day when you happen upon a firearm on your wish-list and have the finances to buy it.

No kidding! I was thrilled. 6 months or so ago, I had it happen too. I had been wanting a Swiss K31 for many years, and found one locally for a great price. I really don't have an affinity for Swiss made guns, it just happened that way haha

I bought one about 2 years ago for about $350. I didn't know I got such a good deal. I upgraded the trigger spring, after it broke, I would suggest you do the same. It is a superb shooter. I think you will enjoy yours.
