Sig p226 price?

[brucecrain]

I have a sig p226 in 40/357 without a rail. Trying to figure out what's its price range as well as its age. S# u 638 076

 

[Clay Pigeon]

I believe it was built in 2000.
What caliber is it in?
Box? extra magazines? extra barrel?

It's in 40 cal right now. With just three mags

According to Sigforum, Clay Pigeon is right.
Value would be (Totally guessing) from 400 to 600 depending on condition, and what all it comes with.
I bought a cpo in DAK a couple of years ago for less.
I'm not a DAK guy, but it's perfectly adequate to the cause.

 

[brucecrain]

It's a sa/da btw

I bought one about ten years ago in 9mm. Its a few years older than yours and I paid roughly $450.
Mine came with night sights an 2 mags

Look for a 2 digit date code under the front dust cover...

A = 0
B = 1
C = 2
D = 3
E = 4
F = 5
G = 6
H = 7
J = 8
K = 9

Used .40 226's are quite common right now as dept trade-ins. A lot of DAK triggers too.
I found a nice JK '89 226 9mm a few years ago with original yellow box, papers, original receipt, extra mag for $500.

Nice looking setup... You gotta love 226's.

Go to gunbroker, search completed auctions. That will tell you exactly what the market is paying.

New they are going $830-$930 on GunBroker

Irrelevant. $400-$500 is what they are selling for used. A little more if you have the .357 Sig barrel.

The value of standard P226 pistols in .40 or .357 has dropped like a rock, given the influx of police trade-ins and large number of people switching back to 9mm, and the declining popularity of DA/SA pistols in general.

waiting on one to finish still but you are probably right.

Use "advanced search" and you can search completed auctions.

https://www.gunbroker.com/search/advanced then select "completed" tab and enter the criteria you want.

DA/SA are routinely going for $360 +/- $30 in used condition. Mid to upper $400s for as new or for used two tones. $500 for certified red labels.

Etc.

They are a good value right now. The P226 is a nice gun to shoot .40 from. I wouldn't pay more than $350 for a base Nitron, though. Example of a real nice condition one for $350: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/779339793

Umm, that won't work. His is a milled slide 226 in 40. Date codes are only present for W.German/German made 226s with stamped slides in 9mm.

Thats why i could not find the F&%^ thing. i thought i was missing it the whole dam time.

I'm about 99.9% sure that code will work on all german made/german assembled sigs, my browning bda45 (sig p220) has hh in the slide (77) and they (browning) only imported the bda from 77-80, my german made/german assembled 226 is coded jg (86) (both stamped slides)

my other 220 is a west german made milled slide, and doesn't have the date code (like the op's gun) but does have a mold mark on the grips (December 99 I think)

op, if you remove the grips, look on the insides for a mold date, its not the best way to find out, and will only work if you have the original grips with the gun, that might help narrow down the date. (if you have the original plastic box, it'll have a mold date in it too)

the best way to make sure of the manufacture date is to contact sig sauer and ask them.

as for the price, I agree with most people on the 4-500 dollar price, unfortunately, the .40/357 sig calibers just don't have the market value as 9mm/45 sigs do. (with both barrels I do think its closer to 500)

fyi I work in a gun shop, and I cant remember the last time someone asked for a sig in 40 or 357, we've got a beautiful used p239 with 3 holsters, night sights, and 3 mags, that's had 0 (yes zero) interest shown!

if you're willing to hold onto it, you'll find a buyer eventually, but I honestly believe it wont be a quick sale

Yes, that's what I'm saying. His is a MILLED slide in 40/357 and therefore won't have a code. I have 11x Sigs that all have German/W. German frames. Date codes are present on 2x W. German 226s, 2x W. German 228s, 1xW. German 225, and 1xW. German 230.

$450 max! It’s .40 cal and they are very common and .40 is really out of favor now.

You can pay a few bucks have GB give you a statistical distribution of transactions for that particular model. It's worth the $3 or so IMO to get your price within the right $20.
