It’s back! Well, kind of not really.

Once upon a time I bought a battered Sig P6 at the local gun store for a cheap price. Didn’t need it, but it was cheap and I kinda liked the idea of my P220 having a 9mm smaller option.

A few years later a friend wanted a gun for HD and didn’t have much money and I had that little P6 laying around mostly unused. So off it went. Only gun I’ve ever regretted selling, but not that much since I was helping a friend out.

Always had my eye out for another P6 or 225 in good shape and a reasonable price, and had a line on one once but didn’t have the funds and lost out on the timing.

I despaired that the days of buying those neat little Sigs for cheap, or at least reasonable prices, was gone.

Well, the one I missed out on has worked it’s way back around to me and for a good price. Much better shape than my old P6, plus the random extra mag I found from my first one has a use again.

Hope to get out to shoot it soon, but it looks to have been oiled well and left in a box for a few decades.

The P6's are good guns. I had a couple of them back when the police trade ins first came in, and at great prices. I turned down one with a heel mag release and thought better of it on the way home. Turned around and went right back, and it was already gone when I got there. It seems there arent many of those around.

If you have other commercial SIG's, you may want to swap the P6's mainspring for a P225 mainspring. The P6's DA trigger is noticeably heavier than the commercial guns, and that swap will bring it right in line with the others.

I had one and also regret selling it
But there again I regret all sales

There's just something about these classic pistols. Even with what we now consider limited capacity, they feel good in the hand and are accurate, reliable shooters. Wish I'd bought up a few more when gun shows always had lightly-used specimens on multiple tables.

Only problem I have with them is that they made me "need" to collect every West German P-series SIG pistol to go along with them...

This one is def a 225, but it does have a bit heavier trigger than I remember on my old p6. That one was far more well used though, so who knows what the previous owner did with it before it came across the pond.

I missed it was a P225 part.

If its a commercial P225, its probably got the lighter spring in it. The DA triggers on all my commercial SIG's, across the different models, were all very much the same. The P6's DA triggers were definitely a good bit heavier. Switching them out, just made them more like the others.
