new sig p228

**den9** · April 6th, 2011, 12:18 PM

sold the hk usp compact for a sig p228. i freaking love this thing.

heres my usp exactly one year ago buying it compared to my sig first time shooting it. both were 20-25 shots

both at 7 yards, you can see clearly which gun i shot better with. the hk i progressed alittle with accuracy but it seemed like if i made any groups it was way far left and low. if i can say anything, they are both similar in dimensions, both super high quality german made duty guns, both the same price, but one has a much much better trigger pull.

Congrats! It definitely makes sense to keep/buy the gun(s) you shoot best. There are definitely some guns I shoot better than others, and IMO, it just doesn't make sense to wrestle with the ones on the "not so good" list. Nice SIG!

i usually pratice at 25 ft with hand guns so were similar.
i (after a 6month sabitacal) at 55 ys old,got a 3" 45 acp anda "2in airwt iseem to be in the same boat, low and o the left.
i even went as far as to have a leo firearms instructor shoot the 45 at 10 ft and spot on.NEED A LASER

Sweet gun isn't it. : ) I just picked up one myself and I too love it. Got any pictures of it you could post?

Nice 228. What year is it? I thought a lot of the new 228's were getting made with rails. I was going to get a 228 til I found a 229 SAS Gen 2 for a reasonable price.

I shot low and left with my Glock 19 at first (also at 25ft), but noticed that I didn't with the Sig 226 or M&P 9. The local instructor thought I was "milking the grip" and told me to grip at full strength, then relax my trigger finger and shoot -- this fixed my low-left. YMMV

im not positive, it doesnt have a date code, not sure what year they stopped putting date codes under the barrel, i was told it was a 01 or 02 but who knows. id love to find out though.

i bought it from classic pistol, anyone here recently trade in a sig p228? id love to find out more about this particular gun.

Congrats on the new Sig!! Awesome weapon, indeed!

My 229 is the most accurate out of the box weapon I have ever owned.

Quickly made my lovely 1911's safe queens/range pistols.
