How much the SIG P228 worth?

[vccn]

Yesterday, I spent $500 to purchase a SIG P228, which made in 1997 (marked KH), with only one magazine. Does it worth? Is it a good gun?

You did fine.

The P228 is one of the best pistols Sig ever built.

Saw a new one in a local shop on Friday. They wanted $970. I passed.

really? $970 for new one?

The P228, I own, looks very old, like has been shooting 10,000 times. Does it?

I got a refurbed one for $ 600 in 2006 . I didnt get to like it bec of the thick grips. Traded it in the end for a glock 23.

Cabelas is selling them for $1000. I just bought one in July new on GB for $700. Bought a p229 in 2004 that had about 5000 rounds through it for $500 and only have replace the recoil spring in it and we still drive tacks together. You did we'll.

Good buy! That's the going rate for a used 228 around here. Local shop had a very worn police trade-in with dead sights marked for $400 that sold in two days and I've seen a couple on local forums recently go for $450-500.

You did fantastic!!

The P228 is one of the finest combat 9MM pistols ever made. I would have snapped that up without question at that price to have another one. Mine is a Zurich Police trade in in A+ condition.

The one you have is German made and I would say probably a very low round count - maybe less than 1000 rounds assuming original finish which it appears to be by the pictures at first glance.

If you are not familiar with SIGs just be sure to keep the frame rails and barrel exterior well lubed - I use Slide Glide medium grease myself, and change the recoil spring every 5000 rounds.

NIB pre year 2000 German made/proofed P228s with original case, paperwork, and test target can bring well over $1000 on Gun Broker auctions.

You can use the Mecgar 15 round flush fit magazines in the P228 and they work great.

The OP's pictures are gone

But, by comparison, I picked up a excellent condition P228 with Trijicon night sights and two mags for $550 a few months ago.

Also picked up a "very good" condition Swiss P228 with one mag for $500 about three years ago. Cosmetically, I would have called it "good" at best, though.

The p228 is a superb pistol.

The P-228 is a superb pistol! $500 or $550 is a very good deal. Also the OP's pistol was German manufacture, but maybe all true 228s are.
