Obviously there's people that want them. I've never shot one, but it seems the grip would be massive. I'd probably buy one if it fell in my lap, but I doubt I'd actively search one out to buy.

 

The 227 grip is probably my favorite style. It's like a 226 but just a bit beefier. Perfect!
Also, I have 4 of the new 14 round mags and they all function perfectly.

 

I do like mine, and two 14 round mags that functions flawlessly.

 

Looks very good with those Hogues. I'm not an E2 fan.

 

^^^^ Mine looks just like yours with the same Hogue piranha grips that I added as well. I was able to buy mine new in the box for $860 a couple of years ago from someone who bought it new and never shot it. Build date was 2014. I only have some 10 round mags. I feel that I got a deal and will not be selling it. I would like to add some of the 14 round mags.

 

I think CDNN has them

 

I lucked out with this one last weekend: P227 SAS find | SIG Talk

To me, it feels very close to a P229 in frame size and barrel length (3.9 inches). In fact, I'm using a DeSantis Speed Scabbard made for a P229 to carry it. I also bought a couple of new P227 14 round magazines from CDNN for $30 each (they should be here tomorrow).

 

I did purchase the 227SAS Carry when it first came out. Are honestly don’t know how much it would take for me to get rid of it. I love this pistol.

 

...I read on this forum some time ago that the P227 was destined for the rubbish bin of history,...Really surprised to see prices for used pistols ranging from about $950 - 1400.....That's a whole lot of $$$ for pistols no one wants!

Exactly. What makes the P227 so pricey is that it's no longer in production, nostalgia, and that the P227 is a decent firearm.

 

Looks like the PA State Troopers are ditching their 227s and they're occasionally popping up on Gun Broker. I just scored this one that came with an x300, two safariland holsters, and a mag pouch for $800

I feel like I stole it at that price! Definitely be on the lookout for more popping up if you're in the market for a 227

 

You stole it at that price!

 

That was a very nice find!

 

Most out-of-production SIGs have been selling at ridiculous price points on Gunbroker for quite a while now. I mean some nutty prices. Gunbroker reaches a lot of potential buyers and there are always more than a few people that have money to throw at a toy they want.

 

Regarding the choice between a P220 with a ten-round extended mag and a P227 with the standard 10-round magazine, I prefer the more compact shape of the P227.

Both are big heavy handguns.

 

Indeed on both counts.

 

I’ve got a 227 that I’m going to have to put up for sale one of these days. Geez. Just sits in the safe.

 

I looked on Gun Broker
You seem to be confusing what people are asking for with what they are getting.
The highest priced P227 sale was $805 with anything more than that having ended with 0 bids.
Selling prices don't include the extra hundred or so Gun Broker extorts from buyers.

 

I think you're correct. It seems that there are multiple 227 sellers out there who have had to re-list their guns multiple times. The one I just bought for $800 (that came with lots of extra goodies) had been re-listed at least half a dozen times. They're just not moving.

I suspect the election results aren't going to help speed up gun sales, either. Maybe we'll see gun prices start to trend down a bit to meet demand. That also might be optimistic thinking lol.

No, I was watching and bidding on a nice one yesterday and bid up to $750. It sold for $873.

I agree, I was tempted bid up to $800, but then state tax and shipping would have the final price >$900-ish. Here's the link:

Bought mine new. It's my "lightest" .45ACP at 2lbs 8.4oz, with my SA XDM-45 2oz heavier, and my Colt and Kimber 1911's around 6 oz heavier. But you don't shop weight when you're looking for a .45...at last I don't. The weight of the gun is part of what makes the 227 such a soft shooter. It's the handgun I shoot best, of the 9 handguns I own (2nd best is the Colt XSE). The shapely "sandpaper" grip is a great design--really good for southeast Texas heat and humidity. The P227 DA trigger pull is so good, I find my initial DA shot is just as good as the following SA shots. If I could only keep one of my handguns, that's the one I'd keep. I've not had a problem with my two 14 round extended mags.

 

I have a couple P227s and like them very much. However, I read on this forum some time ago that the P227 was destined for the rubbish bin of history, mainly due to P220 10 rd mags availability, 14 rd mag unreliability, and weight.

I have both the P220 and P227. The normal capacity for both is fine by me. If it's 14 round mags you want though, last I checked CDNN was selling some.

Speaking only for myself, I dislike extended mags sticking outta the bottom of my grip look. It reminds me of a prolapse on the Dr. Pol show.

🤮 on the pic

I, also, have both, dang accurate, fun shooters. The 227 is a carry, and I really like it.

 

This was my P227 Elite that I picked up on GB for $785.

I have upgraded it a little. The Cerakote color looked different when I ordered it, but it's growing on me... It's my October Pumpkin gun!

I will have the slide milled for an optic and install suppressor height X-Ray3 sights, I may change the color to something less flashy.

Oh, I also got a P227 Carry slide, (Sadly, I could not find a Carry Elite slide) I will have to have it milled for an optic and Cerakote to match.

I have 10 10-round magazines and 4 14-round magazines, all run flawlessly. The major complaint is that the Grip is fat, but you get used to it. It's not bad.

 

Thanks for that, bought two more.
