Sig 220 manufacture date?

[Prof]

I have a Sig 220 that I purchased in like new condition. I was trying to determine the manufacture date. I e-mailed Sig and they said that for only $12.95 they would be glad to tell me. Boy, love that customer service! Anyway, since I don't want to have to pay for the info, does anyone know when serial number G2117XX might have been manufactured? Thanks.

Contact Sig by phone. Every time I've called them and asked them to tell me the date of manufacture, they provided it. Of course, they might have changed their policy. Still, it's worth the call.

Contacted Sig by phone. Representative said that they have changed their policy. It was costing them too much to answer these kinds of questions so I would have to pay the $12.95 if I want to know when the gun was manufactured. Sig Customer Service = All they would have to do is post the dates on their website for people to access.

One trick is if it still has the orginal grip panels, the date of molding is usually on the inside if you take them off. Not the most accurate dating, but it will get you in the balllpark.

Thanks, Evan, I'll try that tonight when I get home.
