SIG SAUER

[WRENCHHEAD]

yup it was just sitting at the bottom of the display case next to the SIG nick nacks and other junk. i'm sure no one even noticed it, good thing cause i snatched it up!

[fliparch]

I went back to buy the one in the case for a sigforum member. A bunch of the guys there loved the OD and asked where I got it. They still talk about it from time to time.

Have you found out anything else about the pistol? I emailed Sig and got a response that they would have to do some research but never did back to me. I did hear that they are from a Government contract over run but that's hearsay that's the reason for my email to Sig.

Now I'm glad I didn't buy it and you got it. I'd rather have a Cali guy pick it up than someone out of State.

thats pretty much the same info i've got... they were an over run. theres also another OD 229r model floating out there it was i guess an R&D model that had front slide serrations.

[fliparch]

Yeah...this one is BEAUTIFUL...It's more bronze looking than OD. This is Veritas Aequitas' pistol from Sigforum. He worked for sig and while they were testing the color for the pistol he got it from their first run. Talk about rare. I hope he doesn't mind me borrowing it.

hell yes thats the one i was refering to. wasn't there supposedly 3 made?

Sadly...according to Veritas, this is the only one in existence. I hate him!

flip + WRENCH,

Those were some really nice P229s. If anyone was foolish enough to part with one, I'd definitely take it off their hands. Thanks for sharing...

I need to get a good pic of my P226 9mm. I changed all the controls to nickel except for the hammer. Here it is with the family.

Thought of selling it once but only for a very brief time. My girl talked me out of it. They're both keepers!
