Is the money you spend on a SIG worth it?!?

[shootamc58]

LOVE my sigs. They are worth it to me. I guess that's all that matters. If someone would like to donate to my next purchase, i'll take their opinion into account

 

[Hellhound1055]

You were going to negative rep me for that? Stealth purple?

If it doesnt match his views then he'll probably -rep it, been on the recieving end of his disdain personally. lol

 

[Hellhound1055]

you could get it cerakoted to whatever color/pattern you want just have to pay for it. Also sig offers a tan finish on their scorpion models But I don't own one so im not sure if that finish scratches as easily as the nitron. Some models also come in a stainless configuration if you like stainless guns that might be a good option as well, a bit pricier though if I remember right.

Is it normal for the top of the barrel on sigs to loose their finish? THe top of mine is bright silver versus the black finish that the rest of it has.

The nitron finish is fine. When I first got one I thought it showed every little mark. Then I wiped it down with a little oil and a silicon impregnated cloth. It looks like new afterward. My P220 has thousands of draw strokes from dry fire practice and range trips from both kydex and leather and it looks like new.

P229 or P239

P229 or P239

This. P229 if you value round count more. P239 if you value concealability more.

The P229 was designed as a .40, and is one of the most comfortable .40 handguns I've shot. I own a 9mm and a .40, and they are very similar. The 9mm has less recoil and is slightly easier to track the front sight, but the .40 isn't difficult at all. If I were going P239, I'd probably stay with 9mm.

The local S.O. has Sigs for duty issue in 9mm. They have had zero problems with them and they shoot fine. One of the guys I know shoots his weekly (free ammo supply). He loves it and would shoot matches if he had the spare time.
I used to have a Sig P22 for duty and it ran great. I trusted my life with it and the people of the State of Indiana.

I don't have a Sig yet. I sold two guns and I am considering buying a 226. I will buy used if I buy one and find a fair deal. I have seen many nice ones selling for around $700. That is more than most striker-fired pistols, but in line with other quality pistols.

I am just not a fan of the striker fired design even though I still have a Shield for carry purposes. I sold my FS M&P so I don't own any "high" capacity pistols right now.

Maybe I'll pull the trigger on one soon. In more ways than one!

 

[OutdoorDad]

I have several SIGs.


I believe that they are worth the price. The actual price. I don't think I've ever paid the listed retail price for any of them.

 

[Shawn156]

I forgot to mention there was 1 Sig I hated which wasn't mine.It was the P250 compact 9mm. That was a horrible gun to shoot.

 

[Markus]

I am very happy with "my precious"...

 

[0750turbo]

if you're on the fence about buying a sig, I highly recommend NOT shooting one....cause if you do, you'll buy one!

Very true, after shooting a P210, I now own 4 of them.

 

[wva3470]

I have carried several different Sigs over the past 25 years. Started with 226 9mm, went to 220 in 45, 226 in 40, now the 320 in 9. As issued off duty guns, sig 230, 232, and 250 subcompact. I've shot them, a lot, over the years in both training and competitions. Usually bought the same model to shoot extra with.
So, I would say they are worth every penny. That's my .02.

I have not shot mine enough to have that happen to me but I've seen it on many sigs. Probably occurs with high round count I would guess as should be expected. Just adds character in my opinion.

QFT... My P320's Nitron slide still looks great after about a year and a half. The stuff is damn near indestructible. Even looked new in the dovetails when I changed the sights and no holster wear at all.

I did get mine used, so I assume its probably the case. Looked at pictures of other sigs online and it seems normal. Hoping that a bit of lubricant will slow anymore wear. (the guns was dry as a rock when I bought it.)

It's no big deal unless your fingernail can catch it. The finish will wear, but the metal should not. It's often referred to as a 'barrel smiley' as it sort of looks like an elongated smiley face smile.

 

[sig1473]

I've got 8 Sigs of variety in different flavors and sizes. I'm more drawn to older Sigs produced in Germany(just me). I prefer the stamped slides since they are a little lighter(a la 228/226/245/225/220), but I do own milled slide Sigs as well. I got to handle a State Trooper's 224 SAS BUG yesterday and I must say I liked the feel and looks of it. I hated the new long extractor on it though. Just keep your Sig well lubed(steel and alloy framed) and it will last you a lifetime.

 

[Fordtough25]

The Nitron finish hasn't been real resilient in my experience but the wear doesn't hurt anything. My P229 has finish wear on the slide but she shoots great! I think they are worth the $$$, Sig's are built nicely and hold their value pretty well.
