Hey,

 

I've been looking at Sig pistols and noticed all new Sig firearms have a paper band around the grip or stock. I've seen Blue & White, Red & White and Silver/Grey and White. Does anybody know the significance of the different colors?? New, refurbished, Certified preowned???????? Or meaningless??

 

I'm curious.

 

Thanks

 

Jim

Silver/White - New

Red - Certified Pre-Owned

Blue - Used

Silver replaced Blue for new.

 

"NEW pistols will have a silver band with a black SIG SAUER logo, they are shipped in a black case. The previous firearms were shipped with a blue grip band and ship in a blue case. Certified Pre-Owned Pistols will have a red grip band and ship in a red case. As of Early 2010 we are moving towards changing from the blue case to black. New guns are now shipping in black cases. However you may still see blue cases at our dealers."

Anybody knows why they changed it ?

I would tend to think they wanted change with the new case.

New cases are nicety.more compact fit gun and extra mag nicely I modified mine by cutting foam beneath mag slot so I can fit two mags there
