    Picked up a sig 228

    Just snagged a certified pre-owned sig 228
    At the shop I work at today. Looks brand new
    Hopefully should be able to shoot it after a permit
    Class this weekend.

    It will be a big change for me as I've shot a Glock exclusively
    For the past 2-3 years.

    Enjoy it. It is one of my favorite DA/SA pistols. They can be scary accurate - what SIG made a rep for to begin with, combat grade reliability with target grade accuracy.

    Enjoy it I am lucky to have two of them.

    If you every want to get rid of it you will not have a problem with buyers...

    I use Ameriglos's Defoor sights on mine. Really good sights.

    Thanks! I will do my best. I will check out those sights, right now
    It's just got stock sights on it. I have trijicon HD in yellow on my glock but not sure if I like the way they look on a sig slide(yes picky I know).

    I bought a 228 as cheap practice for my '95 model 229 in 357SIG. I have updated both guns with E-grip and SRT.

    now they're both like my 226.

    I love the 228 platform. It's a little heavy for a carry gun but on the range it's a beast. Enjoy!

    The 228 is one of the best fitting handguns I've owned. The trigger will take some getting used to compared to your Glock, but it will be just as reliable.

    I love the P228. The DA/SA takes practice to master, but is a great gun and I like it the way it comes "ready" from the factory, sights included.

    I got a 229 recently to complement the 226 I've had for years. I went with the factory night sights (made by Trijicon I think) and the DAK trigge set up.

    Personally, I prefer having the same trigger pull with every shot vs the heavy-light-light trigger of traditional DA/SA.

    I also went with the Hogue G10 grips as they are really thin.

    Wow! A P228, one of my first handguns! Congrats! Post pics!
    The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

    JHP's are good times, for bad people.
