Description:
Here is an eminently serviceable, attractive specimen of the original Sig Sauer Compact, the P228 chambered in 9mm: 9mm Parabellum, 9mm Luger, call it what you will; The 9mm. This weapon served and protected our Swiss friends in the Center of their country, Canton Zurich, with that subdivision’s counterpart to our State Police. The Zurich Logo adorns the left side of the slide on this specimen. From its AA Date Code, it was manufactured in 2000. It is thoroughly German, and serialized on its frame, slide, and barrel. Its only U.S. marking is PW Arms import stamp on the right side of the slide, as the photos show. This is standard traditional double action: from a resting hammer, a long double action pull on the first shot, and then single action until the shooter engages the decocker. This pistol, like all modern Sigs, has a firing pin safety. What the factory says, emphasizes what we know of the world’s best brand of pistol: A single action or double action pistol, the P228 has a magazine capacity of 13 rounds. It has the automatic firing pin safety system used on previous Sig Sauer pistols, and the magazine catch can be mounted on the left or right side to suit the operator's preference. The magazine floorplate, made of high impact synthetics, gives the magazine a considerable degree of protection against damage caused by dropping. An essentially closed design concept renders the P228 particularly resistant to dust and dirt. Here is what we say: the 228 and its 229 counterpart are the best quality 9mm Compact pistols on the market, emphasis on best more than on Compact. They are the smallest variant double-stacked magazine capable descendants of the definitive P226, the P-228 with matte blue finish slide and matching lightweight alloy frame.
