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 Northwest Region of their country, Canton Solothurn, with that subdivision’s counterpart to our State Police. The Solothurn Shield is neatly engraved atop the slide near the rear sights. This 228 is not date coded, but from its B330000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 2005. 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. This 228 is a single action or double action pistol, and it 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. An essentially closed design concept renders the P228 particularly resistant to dust and dirt. The 228 is the best quality 9mm Compact pistol on the market, emphasis on best more than on Compact. It is the smallest variant double-stacked magazine capable descendant of the definitive P226. This P-228 has a matteblue finish slide and matching lightweight alloy frame.

Capacity is 13+1 rounds, and we are furnishing this pistol with two factory 13 Round 228 Magazines. Sights are original Factory Night Sights, and we rate their luminosity at 60 percent of original strength from our darkroom inspection. Surface detractions are only moderate, with faint amounts of white along some of the upper slide and frame edges. Grips are original issue, with moderate toning to the grip screws. We rate it as Very Good, close to Excellent, 85 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves.
