Earth Tone Sig 229?

Came across this and just short of contacting of Sig I haven't found any info on this.. anyone else seen one similar to this. I know they did limited runs a while ago with reverse colors.. still haven't ever seen this before.

From Sigs marketing:

These guns are not a government contract over run. They are a limited run from SAUER that we worked on with them. We produced approximately 200 P229 pistols with this Green hard coat anodize finish. If you have shot with Chris Letourneau who works here at SIG you probably saw the one that he has which was an even earlier sample (1 of 3 I think). There will not be anymore produced in the near future and possibly at all. This could change but I don't expect it to.

The good news is that if it were indeed a contract run there would have been far more produced. As it stands there are just the 200. AND it is on the California approved list. It is listed as the P229R GCP. When we first looked at this configuration we sent a sample to CA DoJ as a 'like model' and it was added to the list.

Hope that clears up some of the confusion. - ERHARDT
