He's holding it for someone 
I'm going tonight for IDPA and I'll check on the status. I'd really like to buy it but I'm having guilt feelings about spending so much $$ lately on guns. I told him about you and he said he wanted to see if it would sell locally first. I'm hoping the person he's holding it for bought it by now so I don't have to agonize about buying that gun. It's such a nice gun.
DAMN Sig addiction!

Well, I guess that's a "message" not to get it now. $750 is an excellent deal, though, I couldn't get any lower than $815 with the shops I contacted. Still not terrible. But since I bought my regular P239 for $675 and I'm pleased with it, $75 extra for nights and wood grips and a taste of the DAK... I'd jump on it
I put the Nill's on my P239 tonight. They feel GREAT. I'm not sure exactly how, as they don't appear to have much palm swell, but they fill the hands so much better than the stock grips. With the stockers, I felt a little like I was hanging on to a flat metal framed object, which happened to be heavier on top than bottom. With the Nill's, it sure feels like I have a better hold, and the balance as a result feels better. Can't wait to try them out at the range.
In other news, my P228 showed up tonight... While I was not home. :banghead: Delivery rescheduled tomorrow. I'm very excited to see what SIG did with the Action Job on the trigger.

Sig comes thru AGAIN
...
Had a great weekend, starting Friday the 13, I celebrated (have not done this in the last 10yrs) my 58th B-day. As a Birthday gift from me to my wife, I picked up her Sig P232 SL 380 w/Polymer grips and gave it to her that evening to blow out the candles on my cake.. j/k We re-grouped all day Saturday, with the German Shepherd and the Cat, and went to the Long Beach Grand Prix Champ Car Race all day Sunday. Looks like the 58th year is gonna be a great one.. finally.
She was thrilled with it, as it's her first gun, and we will baptize her with it this coming weekend at the local indoor range that I bought us both a year membership.. almost 4 months ago when the newer handgun/s journey began. The range is only 10mins from the house, the Perfect indoor range.
This has been a long journey, living under the thumb-press rules here in Calif. in that, starting with my 40cal, then my/our 9mm, and finally her 380, has taken 30 days wait under our "make sure you really want it & we, the State, and Feds, want you to have it" waiting period in between any, and each, purchase of a handgun.
So, now that I have all 3, and my game plan is complete, getting the wife involved, so we can shoot together.
I'm looking forward to this summer if, and when, Sigs P220 Carry may come to town (Calif approved) and I complete (laughing) my journey and handgun collection with the 45 cal.
Thank you Sig for making the perfect gun/s for the wife to start out with, and grow from there into my/our P229R CT 9mm.

Happy birthday! Cool idea and gift to get your wife It's great to get her involved in your sport/hobby - the more the better.
loplop-
If you get a chance before your trip, please post some pictures of your 228. I can't wait to see it either!
The P239 9mm SAS is still there. It is still being held for some lucky slob. I told them to call me if he changes his mind. Evil addiction :banghead:
I shot the IDPA course that my range runs once a month last night. If anyone ever gets a chance to do it, go for it. It was a real rush and an eye opener at the same time. There is a big difference moving and shooting instead of standing stationary in front of a paper target at 7 to 15 yards. It was a very humbling experience. Need more practice!
I can't wait til next month!!

Will do, Blindref, although I might wait until new grips are chosen/ordered/received. I'm probably buying some Nill's, I just love how they feel on my P239. I will make my decision after I shoot Thursday, when I decide if they shoot as well as they feel/look.
I would like to try IDPA this summer. My indoor range doesn't host, but there are some sortof local outdoor ranges that do. Unfortunately their schedules won't jive with mine until late May/June, so it will be awhile before I get out there.

Keep me posted on the Nills/P239. I'm still not sure what I'm gonna put on mine, or if I'm going to have it changed over to a DAK. If I change it to a DAK, I'll try to get the SAS grips for it. They feel really good. If I end up buying that P239 SAS, I'll leave my P239 .40 DA/SA.
Wolff 18lb hammer springs on a DAK
I just got off the phone with a Wolff tech to make sure the hammer springs I bought for my P229 DAK would be the same as my P220 Carry SAS DAK. The tech told me that the hammer springs Wolff sells are for DA/SA only.
Wolff doesn't sell the DAK hammer springs as of yet. The tech said that the DAK hammer springs are different then the DA/SA triggers.
I've put between 500-700 rounds through my P229 DAK with the Wolff hammer spring in it without any failures to fire or any other problems at all.
Does anyone else here have a DAK with a Wolff 18lb hammer spring in it??
If so, how many rounds have you put through it and have you had any problems??

well sign me up for the club and pass me some punch and pie.
I bought a CPO 226 in 9mm today. My first gun purchase (don't tell the wife but its probably going to be the first of many), too bad I have to wait until Monday to pick it up.

Welcome to the "Club" and to the world of Sigs.
The P226 is a great choice for your first purchase and your first Sig. I'm sure you'll like it and will soon be adding more to your collection!!
Good luck with that
Make sure you post a picture when you get a chance.

Welcome aboard.
Those older P220s are great shooters. I bought a new one about 13 years ago. It's at Sig getting the SSP service and the slide Nitroned. I can't wait to get it back. I'll post some pictures when I do in case you'd like to send in yours.
Good luck with your new baby!!

Welcome, folks!
My wife doesn't like Apple pie... Can you believe it?? More for me, tho
1BLINDREF: I think you'll be very happy with the Nitron job. I am quite pleased with how my P228 came out.
Although I'm not so sure about the Action Package. It was fairly expensive at $150, and I don't think it feels much different than the standard trigger did before I sent it off. Of course, I sent it off a month ago, and it's probably been 5 weeks since a range session.
I'm firing it tonight to see what I think.

I forgot to ask, did Sig inform you that your gun was finished and that they were shipping it back to you so you could look for it??
I'm glad you are happy with the finish, now I really can't wait to get back my P220
The action package might feel differently when you are shooting the gun.
I'll be waiting for your report - have fun tonight!

Just to wrap things up on the issue of my new P239 jamming.
First, thanks to those who made suggestions, especially 1BLINDREF and loplop.
My original problem was that my new P239 was jamming on 75% of the Sellier & Bellot cartridges. The jam was that the new cartridge was ramming into the back of the spent case, which was only half way out of the chamber.
Manually recycling the rounds through gave me the same result.
I cleaned the magazines more thoroughly and the rounds (snap caps now) would cycle through more reliably with one of the two magazines.
I suspected the extractor was not correct due to what appeared to be an anomaly, so I took it in to a gunsmith I trust. He said that what I was seeing was normal; that there is a wedge piece somewhere that pushes out the ejector a tiny bit when the slide is closed. He recommended the use of Kroil on the ejector and ejector bolt if I had any doubts.
I bought the Kroil, used it to clean around the ejector and cleaned out the magazines again. I finished up with Eezox.
I tried manually cycling the snap caps: no problems with either magazine.
I took it to a range. The Sellier & Bellot cartridges would now jam about 1 in 10, but I was warned when I bought them (the only .357 SIG ammo on the shelves at the time) that the S & B cartridges were made a little out of spec, a little long or something, and that might happen. I’m also wondering if those cartridges are a bit underpowered, not containing enough pressure to reliably throw the slide back.
I switched to Federal JHP. All 50 rounds fired with no problems, using both magazines. At one point, though, as I was starting to load one of the magazines the upper metal piece at the top of the magazine that pushes the cartridges shot out from the magazine and landed eight feet down range. I assume from that event that that magazine has had problems with the “lips” all along.
One other anomaly I noticed is that the slide would only lock back on completion of a magazine’s cartridges about 80% of the time. I’m going to see if there’s some other part of the P239 I need to clean more thoroughly. This surprises me, though. I bought a new P220 ten years ago and I didn’t have to do this much cleaning. It worked perfectly from the beginning.
So, I’m progressing. Meanwhile, what a fun little pistol ! It feels great in my hand and I’m shooting more accurately with it than any of my other guns.
.357 SIG cartridges are kinda snappy; takes me longer to get back on target than with my larger 9mm pistols, of course.
It doesn’t seem as loud as I was led to expect (it’s loud enough). The other noticeable characteristic is these babies are flame-throwers: very bright flash.

The mag not locking back: do you shoot with a high thumbs grip? It is possible that you are inadvertently tripping the slide release. I believe others have reported this happens with their P239's, but not their other SIGs. Must be something in the design of the mag release, or the grip.
I don't have that issue, but I don't ride my thumbs high.
My P239 needs no more cleaning than any other pistol I've owned, so unless yours is VERY dirty I don't think that's it. I do clean after every range session, but I'm not a perfectionist.
I do, however, clean under the extractor lip every time I clean my guns; for me, that means taking a patch wet with Hoppe's, doubling it over, and using a straightened paperclip to push it under the claw. Just a habit I garnered from a picky 1911.
In other news... The Nill grips are superb on the P239. I am so happy I waited to find a pair. They fit my hand beautifully, and make the grip fill the hand a little better. The balance of the gun feels so much better with the Nill's. I shoot a little better with them. My only reservation with them is they feel a little dry... Do they need regular oiling? I'll let everyone know how they hold up to a summer of carrying.
P228 and Action Package: I'm not thrilled. The trigger is nice, but how much nicer than before I spent the $150? Not much. Maybe a tad smoother in DA, but it was never rough to start with. Honestly it just feels like the trigger group was cleaned and lubed... Not real appreciable change in action. I'm pretty disappointed, to tell you the truth.
That said, the P228 is a wonder. I am so glad I grabbed that gun. 1993 W German vintage, tight as a duck's butt (unlike my P239!) and a natural shooter. I really like that gun, and it deserves some Nill's, too. I like the nitron'd slide, although I can see some gloss differential when holding it in the light. I hope that's not a thin application, just a remnant of SIG's stripping of the slide (it was blued, of course). I know some aren't hot on nitron, but I like the way it looks, and the price was right since the gun was already back at SIG getting the SSP.
SSP: well worth it. SIG did a great job detail stripping, and of course the new nites are great. A sweet deal, even at the new price of $129. I do wish they would have put in new magazine springs, but I guess I could buy those on my own

Sorry to hear about your disappointment with the action job. For $150, the trigger should feel much better. Maybe contact CS and tell them how dissapointed you are. Maybe they'll do something for you on a future job. At least the SSP and the Nitron job came out good. I just ordered magazine springs from Wolff for my P229 magazines. They are $20. for 3.
Did Sig inform you that your gun was finished and that they were shipping it back to you so you could look for it??
Thanks for the report on the P239/Nills. Are the Nills oil finished?
Silver Bullet-
It sounds like that magazine has issues. Did you buy the gun new? If you did, I'd contact Customer Service. They'll probably send you a new magazine. I've heard that they have done this with others that have had problems with new guns/magazines. Good luck and keep on shooting the Federals, sounds like your gun doesn't like the S/Bs.

I carry a Sig P229 daily, I hope to get many more. My wife is has an 9mm XD SC and has wants a Sig 229 as well.
I posted on the SIGForum, I'm interested to hear what others say. Depending upon the reaction, I'll contact CS and discuss. At this point, though, if my SAP is fairly normal... I will strongly dissuade others from having that service performed. It just isn't worth it.
I'm sorry I have been forgetting to answer your question: no, SIG CS will not alert you when the gun is being shipped. It will just show up.

Well, I did it (again ) as I went up to my local gun store to get a case of 40cal and 380, and looked at the new Sigs, and they had this P220R, but it was shorter than the standard P220R, and slightly longer than the P220 Carry. I put a deposit on it, and it comes with two 8 round mags, and Sig Night Sights and regular black grips.
I can't find anything at the Sig Site, but it's a Two-Tone Stainless steel barrel, with black aluminum frame, with a rail, but the rail is the same length, but a bit smaller than the other two models rails in depth, same width.
It is the same Height as the standard 220 5.5" and width 1.49" and weight 31.2oz
Anyone have an idea of exactly what P220 DA/SA model this may be?
It's NIB.

Shot my new to me P226 Tuesday. All five mags included worked. All for 485, and it has to be one of the best guns in my inventory! Accuracy wise it kept up with my Colt 1911 without problem. THe fiancee loved it, wants one of her own!
Plant me firmly in the I HEART SIGS corner.

Yes, I'm like you
, but it definitely is a P220 45cal, and I put it next to a standard P220R and it is shorter, and is longer than my Sig P229R Carry 9mm which is the same size as the P220 Carry.
That I know, for sure.
Saw in another thread, where some guy just bought a new Sig P220st 45cal, and I asked the question of size, but have not heard yet from them. Another member of the Beretta forum, where I hang my hat also, said he belonged to the Sig site, (which I got booted out of for not going along with the Sig-Heil!! gang of: Sigs RULE, all others suck) and would check the model number out over there and get back with a report.
Waiting, and will report here when..

Getting to the point where I'm almost shooting my Sig P229 as good as my Dan Wesson Razorback 10mm. Which is impressing the heck out of me as I have both the .357 Sig and 40 S&W barrels and shoot equally well with either. And both the Sig barrels are 1.1" shorter than the DW barrel.

I purchased my first Sig (P226 in 9mm) in 1995 and it was extremely accurate. Then I got a deal on a P226 with night sights in .40 and sold the original to a friend. The day he came to pick it up we went to the range and shot an informal match against 12 other guys. I came in first and he came in second!
He recently said that he would like to sell it and I am really tempted to buy it back. I sold it to him for $550 and he said that is what he would like to get plus it comes with a Galco holster and some more mags.
I bought a complete P226 in 9mm minus the frame and now I can interchange the "upper" and mag on my .40 and shoot 9mm out of the same gun. The only difference I can see in the frame assembly is the ejector is shorter on the 40.
A friend had a P220 frame and a slide that had been butchered. Looked like someone tried to port it and put a Bomar sight on it. Anyway, I bought it and found another parts gun to make one good one. It shoots pretty good but it needs to be refinished.
So what do you think? Do I need 3 Sigs? Is $550 still a fair price?

Hmmm, 550 for your old P226 9mm with extra mags and a good holster to go with it. And it shoots accurate still, as you said, he placed 2nd, to you, with it.
Yep, I'd be a buyer I think..
Good luck,
