One of mine is an '81 (M484XXX)its great to hear I did ok with this price, I did not think at all I was over paying as it was in pretty good shape for being a 81. Wish I looked that good..![]()

Those early P6's are finicky with some SD ammo because of the different feedramp angle. If you ever get a chance to buy a P225 barrel it's a good investment. I changed out the mainspring assembly on mine to the new style which reduced the trigger pull. It only required minor modification to the inside of the grip panels.

YesCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I think the barrel/feed ramp was changed over (improved, widened and polished, as seen in bblr's photos) in 1989.
wow, they both look great!!!AIRFORCEMIKE nice acquisition, I've got a P6 ('78, M405XXX) myself, besides a P225.
I've put SigLites and Hogue G-10s on both. Gives them a little more functionality, and pizazz!
