SIG P6 (P225)

[Fantasma]

I would like to get the EXCELLENT grade to see how it comes... People are reporting NIB, or close to it...

Anyone know what the codes on the P6 are? The ones on the right side near the muzzle (i.e. XX/XX) Could it be a manufactured date? Any sig fans feel free to chime in.

Month and year of manufacture. The 3 digits below that are the last 3 of the serial #, it is usually on the slide and the barrel, and should match the last 3 of the serial # on the frame. There may be some other marks, most of the recent ones seem to have NW on them. That is the abbreviation for the Bundeslandes Nordrhein-Westfalen (North Rhine Westfalia), capital is Dusseldorf, which is the state that owned them.

holy carp...

how many of these things were released to be sold as used??????

According to HH on Sigforum (a german police officer) North Rhine Westfalia is supposed to be replacing 40,000 of them.

I'll post pictures when I get mine, which is Excellent grade from J&G... It certainly has "less" holster wear but it does not look NIB. The internal is a different story and could definitley pass for NIB, except for the smilies on the barrel from loading/unloading drills the policeman goes through every day.

I encourage you to check out SIGForum.com. The folks there are very knowledgeable there about the P225. Especially Parabellum. He's the P6 guru over there.

I just checked SIGforum.com, it seems like the domain name is expired. Unless they change the site recently, can't seem to find it online.

Mine lightened up substantially... I think the springs available for 220, 226 are identical.
