Hi all,

 

Has anyone bought a Certified Pre-Owned SIG? I'm specifically interested in a P226 in 9mm or .40, but just curious in general how SIG's CPO guns leave the factory.

 

thanks

My P229 was a CPO. CPO's are some of the best bargains out there. Dealers have a hard time getting them because Sig likes to dispose of them in large lots, so most go to the Big Box stores, like Bass Pro or Cabela's and they use them for special pomotions.

 

They are gone through at the factory and anything that needs servicing/replacing is taken care of. They are generally police or other agency trade-ins - some of which may never have been issued - salesman's samples or guns replaced under warranty that have since been repaired. Usually if they are the plain-jane vanilla guns they are trade-ins. If they are fancy guns they may have come from the other two sources. One year warranty. Good way to get into Sig for far less money than a new one. A good friend bought a P226 in .40 S&W and bought a .357 Sig barrel, he loves it - it's his EDC (he lives in PA). Go for it.

 

Adios,

Double Post - sorry

Never bought one but heard nothing but good things about them. I have handled a couple and they literally look like new guns.

I sold a bunch of them back in the late '90s and never had any complaints. Good used guns at fantastic prices in most cases. I recall one P220 that looked perfect as almost new, perhaps unissued? Either way it is a good deal, just make sure if you buy one you shoot it right away, don't let it sit in the safe for two years and find out too late there is a problem.

My friend is buying one. He said when he took it apart, it looked like new inside.

 

Go for it!

PM Me. I have a friend of mine who has a Sig P226 with 2 magazines and a right-handed holster who wants to sell it. He's had it for 10 years and shot it twice. I know it because he went to the range with me the second time and still had the original box of ammunition. I'll put you in touch with him.

I have 2 CPO Sigs, they were both in great condition. It's a great way to get a big discount on a Sig.

 

The only problem I've heard of regarding CPO Sig's is that originally the finish Sig used when they refinished the guns wasn't very good. But that was cleared up years ago. (You may run into this if you do online searches, I did. But it's old news and doesn't apply any more.)
