Sig P226

[6132expert]

I walked in the coolest shop today. It is about 40 miles from my house. I was looking to see what they had in 1911 and as I was looking I come across a Sig 226 now Im not nor have I ever really been huge on hand guns so I really don't know what is and what aint. I am thinking of going back after a little reading. What I did know when I seen it is that it is a respected firearm. The price on it is 559 out the door it is used but very little wear on the end of the barrel. If I could get it for 500 otd would I be doing good? The guy is a dealer for sure and he would probably come down to that. Tell what does everyone think. Here is my thing I would be buying it to resale with that said could I make money on it? Or I am ready to go tomorrow and drop the cash on a new sig scorpion 45 to keep for my self.

I'd buy the scorpion in a heart beat if it was masshole compliant. My 2¢

HAHA I bet you would. Why do fine Americans stay in states such as the one your in? I need to know what to look at on this sig to be sure it is good to go.

If it is in good shape that is not a bad price.  What is it 40, 357Sig or 9mm?

[6132expert]

It is in 9mm, and I can't recall seeing an anchor on the slide. So after taking a look at sig's site there are many models of the 226. I think I am going to at the least look at it agine. Then there is that scorpion 1911 in the back of my head.

The anchor is the new Navy version.  I think it has the inside parts coated so they can be used around sea water with less rusting.

Here is a photo of mine.  I had the frame painted tan and added set of grips from Sig.

I think the camo grips made the gun.

I am thinking of having the black painted dark brown like on the grips.
