I got to wondering just a while ago.

There are several of Us old timers on Sig Talk

Just Who has been purchasing Sig Pistols the longest ?

I have a Sig pistol with a build date of 1989 but have only
been purchasing Sig pistols since 2013

Just curious

Thanks

Does 2012 count? Bought my first handgun being a Sig P938. This was before the advent of all the micro 9s on the market.

I bought my first SIG in 2001. I'm sure there's a some here that bought in the 80's and 90's.

1992, but i am sure there are much older than that.

Bought my first Sig in 2005. It was a P226, 40s/w, no rail, made in Germany frame. I sold it to get a P226 Elite that was bought in 2010. Still got that one.
Edit:
I forgot I had bought a used police gun it’s a 2007, P226 no rail so it’s my oldest.

I bought my first Sig in 1991, a P220 used. My first new one was a 229 in 94, I still own that one.

Early 2000s for me. Sold all the DA/SA models and replaced with SAOs.

I bought a P226 about 1985. Not sure since somehow the original box got lost. It was made in West Germany. It was when the U.S. was trying to decide on the P226 or the Beretta as the firearm for the military.
I shot them both, decided I liked the P226 and bought it.
Never did care for the Beretta, even though it was selected.
Primary reason if I remember correctly was that it had a manual safety. The Sig only had a decocker. Guess those GIs couldn't figure this stuff out back then.

Bought my first SIG, a P6, in a LGS in 1994.

9mm P239 in 1997(?) as a backup pistol. Bought from a retiring lieutenant. Love at 1st sight, but before I considered them much more than work tools. Wish I still had that one!

I started shopping for my Sig in 93', but was on the fence for a while between an H&K and the Sig P228. I bought the P228 in 94'. I wanted those "high capacity" magazines grandfathered in before the ban...

Bought my first Sig in 1998. A P229 German Frame 40 S&W. Still own the gun and it still shoots great.

Mine was 2022. My dad got a P225 back in 1990 I think. I know he got it before I was born. His girlfriend borrowed it to get her CCW permit and hasn't returned it. lol

I think for me it would be the late 2000's if even that long ago. As far as center fire auto pistols I used to be a BHP/1911/Beretta guy for the most part, with a lot of exceptions. Then I expanded my horizons to Sig.

I don't exactly remember sometime around 1995 +or- a year. Back then if you got a P220 DA/SA .45 ACP, P226 DA/SA 9MM and a P228 DA/SA 9MM. You pretty much had them all.

That a long time ago Never even knew about Sigs back then. I purchased My first pistol a S&W model 28 back in 1981 MyFather purchased a Belgium Browing 380 in 1968 anf I inherited it when He passed away in 1973 I still have it

 

[coach482]

I bought a P6 back in 98.

My first was 2015. Up until then I didn’t believe there was anything better than a Colt Combat Commander in 38 Super for EDC. I still rotate “A” commander in 38 S but not that commander. Once I got my hands on a P229 Elite in .357 Sig DA SA, I knew I had found the right firearm for carry.
