Let's keep it friendly SIG OPINIONS the THR way

[Checkman]

Since I carried the 245 as my duty weapon (not concealed) I liked the extension magazine and 220 mags as my reload.

I also found that I shot my 245 better then the 220.

When carrying CCW I used the six round mags. I've let other guns go over the years, but the P245 is staying.

 

[rellascout]

They were good guns but just did not sell. They are superior to todays P220 compact or carry. IMHO

 

[Checkman]

I remember one of the complaints was that it didn't have good balance. Obviously I don't agree.

When it was discontinued I went and purchased a spare parts kit from Sig and magazine springs. Might never need them, but why take a chance?

Spoken Like a true boy scout!!! LoL

OOPS!!! Okay everyone I Lied and didn't even know it. There are some P6's here for refurbishing and I just remembered that. So I have seen them, but none the less post pics anyway it would be nice to spruce up the thread and everyone loves pics to begin with anyway...

J&G has 'em for $225!!
Why do they always have stuff I want on sale when I'm short of cash!!

 

[USMCDK]

Never done business with them, anyone else?

 

[rellascout]

Aim and J&G have good reps.

IMHO the grade 1 guns at Dans ammo are better deal for $299.

I picked up a slightly used 239 w/ 3 mags for $375 recently and just love it. For me, the fel is great and I shoot quite comfortably with it. I consider it a bargain.

I think SIG makes fine handguns, I just don't know if they're worth $X more than the output of Glock or CZ.

The job started out with "pick your own" revolver (S&W 686 for me thank you) then the very next year we were issued SIG 228 pistols and although I had been a wheelgun guy I really liked the 228. Then for some reason the higher ups switched us all over to the Beretta P-92. Now I know the P-92 is a good gun, but my specific issued sidearm was a lemon and it soured me severely on that model. It was twice as bad since I had liked my SIG 228 so much.

Well set the time machine forward a number of years and I don't do that work anymore and can buy what I want so I buy a CPO SIG 229 in 9mm for a song and the love affair is right back in full force causing me to also go out a few months later and buy another 229 in .40 S&W (my personal favorite semi-auto caliber).

Wanted to buy more SIG pistols (especially a Stainless 229) but then the prices EXPLODED and now I'm buying a house so at this point I'm living vicariously through the collections you guys are showing here <grin>.

Grimjaw, I understand what you say, I have a cz-75b in .40 S&W and it is the most accurate semi-auto I own and I really like that pistol, but the SIG is still what I carry 88% of the time.

Blind that is one big collection... How much did you spend on all of that???? I like the reverse two tone on at the mid bottom right side. It's a 220 full size in .45cal right???

There are many that have much bigger collections on the Sig Forum.

I bought my first Sig (a P228) 13 years ago. I average a little over one Sig per year, although there were years when my money went to raising kids, buying a house, cars, bills, etc. and I didn't pick up any new Sigs or any guns for that matter.
99% of my guns were purchased with the money I made as a soccer referee.

I don't know exactly how much that I have spent on Sigs, but like with everything, you get what you pay for. I know that I'd always be able to get close to what I paid for them if I had to sell them. Some I could get more.

I didn't buy all of my Sigs new.
I'm always looking for good deals on used Sigs. S&W wheel guns (my other addiction ) and Colts. If you look hard enough, you'll find some good deals.

That reverse two tone is a P226 9mm. It was an LEO trade in that I sent to CCR Refinishing for a make over. It's my IDPA gun.

Oh yeah, some of you have NO idea how deep the addiction goes! I almost fell over in my chair when I saw someones 20something P210 collection laid out on his bed. I think I need to post a pic request for that one, have not been able to find it in search.

Yes there are guys who have extensive Sig collections. One my favorites is Mr. Lunde's.

His Sig Pistol collection is only rivaled by his photography skills.

[rellascout]

Yeah Mr. Lunde works for Adobe.

Look around his site and you will see other images of HK, 1911's, revolvers and other auto loaders.

Here is another one of my favorites.
