Thoughts on trading in Sig Sauer P226 for a CZ?

[fork3]

Where in DFW are you. I could check out the sig for you. Clean n such.

North Dallas, just south of the high five, walking distance.

If it was my gun, yeah.

But he's very cagey about these things lol (hence I am making this post here not him). Also I asked him before this thread if he decided that he wants to sell it should I post it here because you can probably get a better price for it here, and he was like nooo, I'd sell it to a gun store, the whole idea of meeting up with strangers especially regarding guns is too uncomfy for me.

But if I ever have any questions about my beretta, I'll be sure to ask ya and would be open to meet up

Tell him to lube his ars up good if he is selling to a gun store. He will get ars raped on the price cause they have overhead and need resale profit. He will throw away 200 dollars minimum.


ETA, that's why you join a forum and buy and sell in a group of known and vetted people. The odds of a negative experience are almost nothing and people care enough about their reps to make it right.

I've seen only one bad deal of a stolen gun in probably 25 years where the seller left the guy hainging and that seller was unable to buy and sell basically in the entire state of AZ after the word was spread.

I had one guy try to alter a deal at the exchange with a couple people. He also was ostracized.

Plenty of safe places to meet up for purchases and sales.

yeah definitely new recoil, i think if he keeps it, he’ll just get a few new mags

No need for new mags. But... If you do buy new mags get sig brand or mec gar only. Sig are 45 bucks mec gar are 25 bucks.

New high quality springs from wolff are 7.50 each or 3 for 17.50

New springs are just as good as new mags.

I agree, that’s why I have done it myself. It’s his caginess, I can’t do anything about that.

It’s what I would do too and I told him that… but it’s his gun and he’s stubborn as a mule… he was like it’s how your grandad taught me; Sam, don’t scrimp on the important stuff yadda yadda

I dont think caginess means what you think it means.

Umm tell him the important stuff IS the mag spring and wolff springs are way better than OEM that come with the mags.

it means overly cautious to a paranoid level correct?

That's kinda what cageyness....oh never mind.

Air traffic control is to busy to manage a go around after such an overshoot.

I believe the app you are looking for is called Grinder.

Seems the lessons fell way short. Most people, or at least as I was taught, you buy a quality made product and take care of it and it lasts you a very long time.

If it was born in 1994, it was made in West Germany. Look on the right side of the slide, forward of the ejection port. I have a few P220's and P226's that I picked up over the past couple of years. Left side of the frame will Have SIG, NH, or CT importer stamp. The other way to tell is if it has an internal extractor.

Didn't West Germany cease being a thing in 1990? Wall came down in 89, IIRC and Germany unified a year later. 1994 might still be marked "West Germany" as Sig still had lots of previously-made slides / parts laying about, and its said some guns assembled into the early 2000s still occasionally had such markings. I don't get how it happens, but supposedly piles of parts get shuffled around and forgotten about, then get "found" again and they release batches of previously discontinued guns. Happened to the P225 / P6.

Yes. I have one. Typically those have a frame marked west Germany but not the slide.

Brain fart. Wrong decade. Early flight this morning. Here's a link to help with dating German SIG's.
