P228
The P228 is a somewhat rare duck. Were I to shell out cash for another SIG, it would be a P228.

Eh, I’ve owned over a dozen West German Sigs. They have a great reputation and they are certainly classic pistols. That being said, construction was cheap. The finish was poor and the stamped steel slide was used to cut costs.
The original P220 was designed as a low cost replacement for the P210. Calling anyWest German Sig the best or finest Sig would be the result of lack of experience or knowledge. |

For me the P226, I have four of them!

I bought a Browning BDA 45 (Sig P220) in 1980. Only non 1911 .45acp I ever had, or want.

Wow, the P210 Target is such a beauty! Is there a similar gun with a double stack magazine?

A Swiss P210 and if not available, then a German Mastershop X-series.

You are wrong about the M11. It's a P228 that was issued to flight crew and plain clothes or other military police type members, amongst others.

The gun you are referencing is a made in USA clone of a real P210. The finest were made in Switzerland and what they make now is a sad impersonation of one of the classic pistols of all time.

Glad you love them. They aren’t bad pistols, but these days I’ll stick with Mastershop stuff. I’ve very likely got more invested with Sig than the rest of the responders in this thread combined. I’m very comfortable with my knowledge of the brand, from Swiss Sig to modern day Sig Sauer. Thanks for your input though. |

While quality isn’t on par with Swiss or German Mastershop models, they do shoot very well and I find them easier to shoot than the Swiss models. American Sig quality has improved over the years. |

BDA is a great handgun. So much history.

I have a REAL Sig Mastershop pistol. A German made X5-L1 made by their real Mastershop in Eckernförde. The crap they are putting out now is just marketing BS. |

If The Attic is still selling new X-Fives on Gunbroker, I wouldn't know. I just barely gave up after a year trying land one. Every single one went $3K+
I do hope Sig returns to an "Allround" X-Five P226 in stainless steel.

I wonder what my early 1990s German Mastershop X5 Level 1 would bring?

They were going for like 8K when I was looking months ago, but there are gen1 and gen2 differences with the extractor. Sourcing the internal extractor on the gen1 is limited and stupid expensive.
I will take issue though. What's wrong with my P210 target, different than coating differences? Safety is now a thumb rest is definitely an improvement.

The Attic apparently is still selling some. Watch this X-Six in the next 4 days. Seems reasonable right now.
It will end at $6K. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1042149321

On folded slides, was it the HK P9S that was super cheap made slide and then super buff parts?
