Night sights had already burned out,

"Already" burned out? You know that most all night sights are expected to last no more than ten years from new right?? The last guns roll marked WGERMANY were produced in 1994 or 1995.

I get the feeling he knows that. I think his point was this: don't sweat a missing manual or test target, because a heavily worn duty gun with depleted night sights still fetches $725. A NIB vintage P226 will bring a pretty penny, manual or not.

I have done business with kcb before and I believe he is just trying to find a fair price and I would do business with him again. Good luck kcb

[kcb]

smarty mcfly, Thanks so much! Also I gave the serial number to Sig rep and he stated it was made in 1988. Like iI said I will put some pics up soon. I may sell it or may hang onto it, not sure? Also thanks for the feedback, I am no sig expert for sure. Learning though

i have a w german P226 manufactured in 1988 (JJ). i suggest that you keep your P226 and in five years make a reassessment of whether to sell or keep. whatever you decide to do in five years, you'll be glad that you kept the Sig long enough to make that decision possible.

I don't even have one and I second this. That's a fine gun you have there.

Don't sell it. Give yourself some time. Take it out to take sick photos of it with cool ammo lying around. Like so. Only yours would be fappable.

A couple more pic's

here are two more

Personally, I would sell the new Sig and keep the old German made Sig. The 226 extreme is worth about the same value if you are needing the money. ESP if the Extreme is a non roster model.

Really good score and excellent condition, but that doesn't appear 'unfired new in box' according to the barrel. Take the slide off and look closely at the frame rails and locking block.

[BigPimping]

I would definitely not sell that. That's something that would be difficult to acquire in that sort of condition again. I try never to sell anything that has that sort of collectability and personal value.

Honestly, and not intending to be a d***head, but seriously, you score a west German 226 and you are more concerned with how much it's "worth". It's the finest 9mm ever made. I have a similar era 228. There isn't anything even close to them. You've got an amazing firearm. Keep it, shoot it, treasure it.

Econ 101: value is subjective. And your post is case in point. How much would YOU pay for it? Obviously not as much as someone else. So how you can ask anyone for a "value". It's worth what someone is willing to pay. Period.

Tell you what, go ahead and sell it. 10 years from now, someone will start a(nother) "what firearm do regret selling?" thread. You'll have a great post.

I think you're going overboard. I scored a mint West German P226 and after doing some research found that the slides were made from folded sheet metal and then welded together. Guess what the have a tendency to break if you shoot them hard. When I take the gun apart and look inside the slide I can see where it's welded. I would have no problem selling it. It just a gun.

I purchased a lot of guns recently, however, I've decided to stick with Glocks & VP9. If your serious about shooting having a bunch of different guns is not a good idea.

You just made it clear to everyone who knows firearms, I mean really knows them, that you dont know what the hell you are talking about...

Great advice for you...I think its best you stick to the Glocks... you are perfect for each other.
