Thanks for getting back to me so quick! Anyway, this thread and others like it here and elsewhere have made me start looking for 90's era Sigs. I already have a '94 P229, but know of another 90's P229 that is selling for $550. Seems like a real good deal and there are other Sig deals I see more than rarely. In my opinion, getting a 90's era Sig for a low price is one of the best deals going at this particular point in time. I just have a hard time justifying getting another P229.
A couple more questions: how can you tell when the rail wear has gone through the anodizing? I would assume it is when you don't see black anymore. But if this is the case, then wear through the anodizing is a common problem from what I have seen.
And when I got my Sig way back when (second gun I ever bought), .40 ammo was generally not as hot as you can find easily today. Do you recommend a heavier spring to better handle the loads of today? Are modern day Sigs sprung heavier?
