Woo Hoo...just won a Sig Sauer P227 .45ACP pistol auction on Gunbroker

[Concretemike]

New in box from old stock as they have been out of production since 2019. Will join the family of P229's in 9mm, and 40 S&W/357SIG....now the wait begins as it is coming thru FedEx out of Las Vegas and they are backed way up with the winter storm from last week thru their Memphis hub. Will post some pick when I finally receive it......

 

Now to find some 10 round magazines.....have read that the 14 rounders are a bit less than reliable and I don't need it to stick out below the mag well like that....

The P227 is a great gun, it should not have been discontinued.

I had a Tacops and in general the 14 round deal gave it a bad rep, outside them being a bit girthy compared to the 220 grip. All you have to do is get some heavier springs and they worked 100%. If you can find 14 rounders. You probably have already noticed the 14 round mags seem to be triple gold plated so folks want a mint for them. The 10's are only silver plated

You can still get P227 Tacops extended G10 grips if you want them. Many of us use to get a spare set and cut them down for the 10 rounders. I still have a new set of them if you end up wanting the extended grip and find 14's.

Enjoy! Look forward to the pics.

Well after waiting for 14 days for FedEx (sat for 10 days in California) to finally deliver my new pistol it is finally here. 

Waiting for my background check to go thru at Clarksville Guns & Archery.....if you've never been you should visit. Nice guys and a new indoor range.

New (old stock) Sig Sauer P227.....sleeping since 2019 in a gun shop in Hawaii....now it's mine!

Time to take off the production tape ring and oil/grease it up for the first time.....

Ready to go but lets take a picture with his older brother........

Sig Sauer P229 in .40/357Sig and my new P227 in .45 ACP.....

I fired 10 rounds to get used to the trigger and snap of the 45.....then fired 10 rounds at an 8" circle at 21 feet...it is a shooter....I will get better with practice...I am so glad I picked one up before they were are all gone!

Congrats to you.

I cannot even get them to correct my account pay linkage but it is good to hear that someone is having success.

I bought the P227 a few years ago.  It's probably one of my favorite handguns.  Not sure why it never replaced the P220.  They are almost identical in size but you get more rounds in the magazine.  A shame it never took off...   Enjoy!
