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 adorns the forward left side of the slide on this specimen. From its KC Date Code, it was manufactured in 1992; and this pistol 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. 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 matte blue slide, and matte anodized lightweight alloy frame. Barrel is 3.9 inches 6 groove 1:10 rifling; weight empty is 26.1 oz; length 6.9 inches; height 5 1/4 inches; maximum width 1.5 inches; 5.5 inch sight radius; 10 pound double action trigger pull; and Sig's classic crisp single action pull at 4 1/2 pound vicinity, with negligible felt creep. Capacity is 13+1 rounds, and this pistol is furnished with one original Swiss Police issue 13 round Sig factory Pre-Ban magazine. Sights are issue 3 dot configuration, night sights but with only faint remaining luminosity. Surface detractions come from holster contact, principally on the slide area with moderate to extensive surface whitening. Grips are Police issue, as the photos show, with moderate to extensive scouring mostly on the right panel and back area, with moderate toning or whitening to the grip screws. We rate it as Very Good, 75 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. It is certainly Excellent mechanically; the Swiss Police are among the best worldwide for weapons maintenance. We estimate this pistol has been fired 1500 to 2000 rounds during its career. Lateral play to the slide is moderate, and this is most certainly normal for Sig Pistols. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent.
