For you 228 lovers...

Sig apparently found some non-railed 228's in their warehouse.

TopGun is selling them for $799

Sweet . . . wonder if any dealer will have them local? I have gotten to the point where I will not but a gun, regardless of the brand, unless I can inspect it before putting down the green. Do you know if the upper is German made? Or just the receiver?

I just bought one of the new 228R's, maybe I should have waited.

These appear to be Frankensigs built on spare parts. The frames are actually from the P229 SAS models, which removes all sharp edges. Nice guns.

If I was in the market for an $800 gun, I'd jump on one. But I have an original already, so I don't need a second. I actually like the SAS frame. I would even consider getting the slide slightly smoothed to match, and have a full SAS P228. That would be pretty slick.

Yep. said to be some kind of contract overrun but they are still available. The first ones had military markings that were etched out but the more recent ones do not. These are all German guns. So you can still get a new 228.

Well if you're going to buy a new Sig 228, this would be the one to get. I really don't like the rail. Just personal preference though.
