I think I got a good deal...
« on: March 19, 2010, 02:19:50 PM »
So I've been trying to trade off my M&P40 for a 9mm version for a while. Haven't really had any luck. So I offered it up with the night sights from one of my other M&Ps then through in the remainder of my .40 ammo and still no luck. So today I get a message from a guy offering to swap me a new Sig P226 NYPD model with Sig night sights and 3 15 round mags in 9mm for it. See pic and specs below. Do you guys think this was a fair deal. My gun is 3 years old with about 2500 rounds through it 4 mags and 60 gold dots plus 450 FMJs

New Sig P226 NYPD 9mm Pistol With Nickel Accents, Siglite Night Sights & 3-15 Round Magazines. Stock # E26-9-NYPD

This full size P226 pistol is double action only, with a full size frame (Made In Germany) that does NOT have tactical accessory rails. 3 - 15 round magazines & Sig's Siglite Night Sights are included in this incredible buy.

This is a 1 time shot on these pistols, we will not have access to any more of these models. Case Is Identified As E26-9-NYPD

Fired Shell Casing Is Included For MD

Isn't it great that the citizens of New York can't buy the same gun their local police use!
"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty, teeth and keystone under independence. The church, the plow, the prairie wagon and citizens' firearms are indelibly related. From the hour the pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurrences and tendencies prove that, to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. Every corner of this land knows firearms, and more than 99 and 99/100 percent of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil influence. They deserve a place of honor with all that's good. When firearms go, all goes. We need them every hour." George Washington

FWIW

You got a good deal.

It most likely can be converted to a DAK or a traditional DA/SA if you want to get rid of that heavy DAO.

Any Sig Sauer armorer will be able to help you if you decide to go that route.

Stay safe,
Scott

Can anyone here give me a list of the parts I need to convert a Sig DAO to DA/SA? I have an armorer who is willing to do the work if I can get all the parts for him.

If he is an armorer he should know the parts needed and be able to order them from SIG or Brownells or MidwayUSA for a discount and either save you money there and charge you an hourly rate or charge you full price on parts(which most likely will include S&H) and through you a free labor discount.

Keep us informed,

By the way, if you just want the parts list SIG customer service is outstanding and should answer all your questions.

He is an armorer that is SIG qualified. This I know because OSP sends their officers to him work work on their DAO issued 226s but he hasn't had to convert any to DASA. So I told him I would bring him the parts. He made the comment that time wise he really didn't know exactly what he would need. I have the list from a few other forums that I compared to what was listed on Midway and this is what I got.

I will be able to talk to my  contact Thursday if needed. My gunsmith is on vacation and I would need to call SIG from the shop. So if you need the help I am offering the assistance for Thursday.  Let me know,

Tex, That would be awesome if you could help me get this looked into. I am in Pittsburgh all day tomorrow during their CS hours. So if you know somebody that's cool. I plan to order this beginning of next week and have them 2day to me so I can have this thing up to speed ASAP.
