Greetings Guy's; Tecolote, I agree with you
and Jimmy; the Sig P228 is one fine firearm.
Here's my story. In October of 98, I purchased a LNIB H&K USP full size .45 ACP
from an individual advertising in the Birmingham, AL News. I had a little extra
cash after acquiring the H&K, so I contacted
this person again to see what else he had
for sale? It just so happened that he had
a CZ75 and a Sig P228 that he wanted to depart with. So, I drove over to inspect
his offerings and to my surprise the Sig
slide was stamped "Herndon, Virginia"; not
Exeter, New Hampshire. Realizing that this
firearm may have been one of the first
imported into the good 'ole US of A; I took
it off his hands. The gun is emaculate; and
came with two hi-cap magazines, test target,
instuction booklet, warranty card and came
packaged in the silver-gray box. The markings
indicate the firearm was made in 1990; totally in West Germany. It now resides here
with three other Sig's (P220A, P226, & P229)
that I own; and ain't any of them going
anywhere, except to the range and back!!!!
That's my P228 story, hope that everyone else
enjoy's their's, as much as I have mine.
Best Wishes To All,
Ala Dan, N.R.A. Life Member
