No.

Pricey because it's a last special run of top-shelf product that will never be made in Germany again.

The U.S. based operations of SIG SAUER began in the late 1980s, and would eventually lead to production of several models of its popular handguns here in the U.S. in the 1990s. During the last few decades, German produced SIG SAUER pistols have remained popular amongst collectors, with the classic P210, and the performance driven XFive commanding high prices as fewer and fewer were produced and imported. During that same time the SIG SAUER pistols produced in the U.S. have become the standard for quality, reliability and performance in the world, with the P320 based M17 now the official sidearm of all branches of the U.S. military, and the P365 becoming the number one selling gun in the America. Due to a variety of market factors in Germany and the continued growth of SIG SAUER here in the U.S. the decision was made to end all German based production.

With all production in Germany now ended, these final German produced SIG SAUER pistols are the end of an era, and a chance to own a piece of SIG SAUER history.

Not just because German, but because there will no longer be any NEW German Sigs made. So they are now finite.

Answer... Move the Machinery and Tools to Switzerland Austria or the even
the USA. Im sure they can even move it to Poland, Croatia, Czech Hungary
or any other Eastern European nation. Plenty of options outside of Germany.

Your paying for all the extra laser engraved jibberish all over the thing.







Jokes aside that is a beautiful pistol.

**** that. Mine is even better frame made in West Germany. I don't even care about Zigs. Glock all the way baby!

The SIG P226 X-series was always pricey, even 10years ago when they were readily available and still being manufactured. Though I already have a few, I still want more especially at the price Sportsman Warehouse is blowing them out at.

If the SIG P226 X-series price point scares you away, do NOT look at the SIG Mastershop series of pistols

Any other old timer here who has never spent more than $1,000+ on a gun?

Bryco .380acp forever!

[SharedShots]

Look at the bright side, German made Sigs will show up in the Marketplace and then the complainers can go on about those $10,000 Sigs.

[Dan_Eastvale]

forever!

Forever? 2 weeks!

I was just wondering why almost every SIG p226/229 and especiallly legions are all 3-5k on CG.

Is there any collector value to these? Spending 3k on a pistol that msrp for 1200 just to have a "cali version" doesnt seem to smart, unless im missing something and the value will increase or at least stay around that number.


I really want a basic 229 legion or even a 220..
