Title: I found one finally and it's on it's way!!!!
Post by: garand4life on December 06, 2012, 02:02:00 PM

I finally found my coveted P228!!! Brand new and at a tolerable enough price!
I just ordered SIGs revamped P228 in the form of the M11-A1. Comes stock with 3 mags, night sights, and short reset trigger with NO RAIL. Should have it by Tuesday!

Good. And of course pictures and targets will be required.

M11 arrives tomorrow and the laser grip arrives Tuesday. I already ordered and received a galco summer comfort iwb and galco combat master owb holster and 2 additional 15 round magazines. So when all is said and done it will be one hell of a Christmas gift to myself. Pics will follow tomorrow.

Nice pistol, even with the grease stains.  ;D

This thing was covered! And the magazines feel like they are covered in glue!

Heck, my daughters P228 was clean as a whistle!  Granted, it was used, pre-1994, with three full capacity mags and only 400 bucks!

Most accurate handgun I've personally carried in 33 years!  Made head shots at 25 yards seem easy...  Center mass with my eyes closed...

I see they are still including a little packet of TW25B with each new pistol... that's good stuff.  Fine gun and a wonderful addition to your collection.  I'm anxious to hear the range report.

Beautiful handgun. There's nothing like a Sig.

Very nice.   Now we're waiting on the range report.

I've got a question...

Does the serial number appear only on the MIL-STD UID label or is it also stamped on the frame in the traditional fashion?
