I also posted this on general discussion, I just happy i finally got it and wanted to thank everyone for their good advice!!

I got a used (less than 500 rounds) Sig 229, two tone, with bianchi holster in new condition, bright Trijicons, regular and hogue grips, and 3 mags, one of which is a hi cap.

Total cost incl S&H and FFL: $650

I ended up selling about 40 shares of Amazon stock to buy her, but she's worth it. She's a beauty! Doesn't look like she's been fired at all. Thanks for all the advice and support in my quest to get one! I'll put up a new post when I take her to the range.

Also, I usually stick with the paddle holsters, and thinking of parting with this one. It's a Bianchi black leather holster in about 95% condition. Says "#19 Sig Sauer P226" on the back. Any idea on how much to sell for?

    Good for you!!!! IMHO, Sigs are the best. My very first gun was a P220, and that's still my favorite. I thought about a 229, so please get back to us after the range. GD

    Oh by the way, that's a pretty good price for what you got, especially that you had to bring it in. Good job! GD

    Man, you made out like a bandit!! They had a used 229 a couple of weeks ago at my local gun shop. $575, and in a bit more 'used' condition than I would've liked. No hi-caps, though. Needless to say, that bad boy was gone when I visited yesterday.
    Congrats with a tinge of jealousy.

    niklasal,

    The next time I'm in Tucson let's go shoot that new Sig 229.

    Have never fired one but after reading various posts and reviews maybe I need to get me one.

    I'm convinced, I'm convinced...My choice was between a Para Companion and a Sig 229. The Sig I ordered two weeks ago and I am still waiting... I'll call my broker tonight and tell him I want the Sig. The price for this new stainless Sig 229, .40 caliber, is $690 including taxes, shipping, and the credit card charges. Not bad considering local shops want $830 not including the higher Jackson County (Missouri) taxes. I hope I have my soon.
