sometimes it pays to ask questions

So i have been looking for a Sig P225 for a very long time. Not a P6 police trade in import, but a P225. I had a friend that was with the Talent Oregon police department when I was with gold hill. Hector picked up the P225, while i picked up the HK usp. My one gripe of the USP was the gritty first trigger. I am happy to say after 30k through it, the trigger does not bother me.

I spent some time looking for p225's recently. I ran across two Gun broker Auctions.

The first i bit up to 705. For a 2003 P225 one of 900 units imported. Here are a few photos









As you can see a very nice example of a p225. I would be surprised if it had been shot much if anything. My bid started at 555, went to 630 and hung there till someone out bid me at 710. That same guy must have thought i was going to snipe it and hit buy it now. Oh well. that is the way of it. I did learn a few things. A few p225s were imported in the mid 90's 95/96 (which puts it right at hector's pistols age) and again in 2003. Both were limited imports of all German made parts assembled in the US. on to auction 2
