Murph Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I have been looking for a SIG P-225 for a while. It is no longer in production by Sig (at least in the US). In Europe I think it is called the P6. I had my brother who has exceptional gun-fu to look for one. Well he not only got me one for an exceptional price, but it was the last model the P225-A1 model with the special grips, SIG branding, and three magazines. This thing is pristine! I doubt seriously if it has had 100 rounds through it. I am so happy, and it will fit my holster for my Sig P-229. Single stack 9mm, and just in superb shape, even the magazines are pristine. Now I just have to wait and get a box of department issued duty ammo (I have to buy my own), 9mm 124gr +P Ranger SXT so that I carry the same thing the department issues (liability reasons). And it is lighter than the P-229. I am so impressed. I have to go and qualify with it, but that is not an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim the Tank Nut Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I saw the thread title and figured that he got a 72 F150 with a V8 and a floor shifter with working air. Imagine my disappointment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, but under Federal and State law, an honorably retired peace officer with over 20 years service can still carry a firearm. But you have to requalify each year with your old department, and are issued honorably retired credentials. For liability reasons, I just elect to carry what the department issues in terms of ammo, those evil ambulance chasing lawyers don't you know....

Imagine my disappointment... No, if I was to do something like that it would be a '71 Hemi-Cuda or 440 six pack Charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoFiveMike Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Nice, a SIG back before their QC went to hell. I've got a 68 Charger, race car. My latest gem is a 2006 Triumph Tiger 955i. Hope to pick it up Friday. S/F....Ken M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BansheeOne Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 P6 is the German official service designation. Used as such by several state and federal police forces. They can still be seen, but are mostly replaced by double-column magazine types now. I have a gas/blank-firing replica and just love the controls.

Murph Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 For some reason the single stack SIG handguns (P-220 P-225) just fit my hand perfectly, and are exceptionally comfortable. Other than having to carry a P-229 for two years, I carried my trusty P-220 for the entirety of my law enforcement career. It shoots just so nicely. Plus one of the guys was trying to get me to get a Glock or a SIG P-320 but I have decades of "muscle memory" and the single stacks just feel better to me. YMMV. The most perfectly fitting handgun I have ever held/shot was a Belgian made Browning HI-Power in 9mm, it was like picking up an extension of my arm.

urbanoid Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Heard there's plenty of internal migration from the left coast to the red states, including Texas, who said militias can't do the same? At least, I want to believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
