Quick question. Why you wasting time asking us when you know what to do?

It may have a German frame but the P229 is not a West German gun. And the solid milled stainless slide is 100% American.

I think it a reasonable price. Figure the extra barrel at $100 (more if new), The "flat" take down lever dates it to a period when SIG was at the top of their game in terms of quality. I'd go for it.

With two barrels and CT grips, it's more than a fair price. Buy it now!

I’d buy it at that price! From the pictures you included it is fair, maybe slightly low for today’s market.

If the laser grip works properly and the pistol is as clean as it looks, then the price is a steal.

If I didn't already have the .40/.357 P229 slots covered, I would be asking where and who. Looks like a nice clean piece. $625 is a great price.

Oh yes it is. Make no mistake, the Germans designed the P229. It was first manufactured in the U.S. (the first SIG model to be produced here), but unlike most of the SIGs that came later, it was/is a German design (hence a German gun). Some Glocks are made in the USA, but we still consider them Austrian firearms. No one considers a Glock an American product even when it is manufactured here. Although later SIG designs were designed in the U.S., the P229 was not. Same thing with Beretta and some others.

It's a good price. Barring any obvious problems, buy it.

You didn't read that right.

I didn't say the Germans didn't design it.
Nor did I say the frame wasn't made in Germany.

I said it was not a West German gun. Meaning, the frame is not marked "W Germany". That has a specific meaning to us. As I said, the frame was made in Germany, and I said "[a]nd the solid milled stainless slide is 100% American.". And 'yes', the gun definitely was assembled in the US. The picture he posted won't have a 'W' on it anywhere.

Given the apparent condition, I would consider that a good price.

I love the P229 in .40S&W.
I also love the P226 in .40S&W. :)

Do the Crimson Trace laser grips come with it? That sweetens the deal.
