Here is a picture of my Sig P228. It was the factory black Sig and I sent it to Robar and had them put the NP3 Plus finish on the entire pistol and all mags. This is when Sig was made in Germany. Just thought I would share.

Beautiful weapon--I love the older SIGs, and the NP3 will serve you well. Robar has great CS, too. I had some rust spots appear on a Robar-ed Glock slide (probably my fault), and they refinished it free of charge. No questions, they just told me to send it in.

Thanks. I love the finish. Very easy to clean.
Here is a pic with Crimson Laser Grip on the Sig.

Very nice. I have a 1990 P228 myself which is just one of those pistols that you never sell. I haven't refinished it yet, but I'm looking into it. How's the NP3 finish as far as gripping surface? I've heard that it is a little slick and hard to get a good hold of the slide sometimes.

Thanks. I like the finish as well. Very easy
to clean. I have no problem grabbing the
slide and pulling it back. I have had this gun since
early 90's. It has always been in great condition,
I just wanted to put NP3 Plus on it for the look and being
that I live in Florida, it will help protect from
the humidity.

That's awesome. The 228 is the one SIG that I would really like to own.

I appreciate it. It is one of my favorite Sigs ever made. I carry the Sig P238 in my front pocket. Which I love as well for a backup.

I'd love to own a W. German P228.

Gun shows are a great place to find them. We've got hundreds of them that have been converted to shoot simunitions.

You can find them on GB as well.

looks good, never even knew they had a "Plus", but sounds good.

Do they strip the anodizing before applying?

Yes they do before they coat it. The plus has more corrosion protection.

They can do all makes and models of firearms.

I may have to that myself with my 228. That was beautiful.

That sure is sweet, I love the NP3 finish!

I have an old P220 with Roguard/NP3. The external levers are NP3 and only the slide is Roguard, the frame is not Roguard.

I aquired this through SIG's CPO program about 5 years ago. Lucky find.
