I'm thinning out my .45 ACP collection and decided to sell my Sig P227. I bought it new and it has very few rounds through it. I don't see a wear mark on the chamber breech or the barrel. I put a high end set of TruGlo sights on it that contain night sights as well as the light pipes to make it light up in daytime. Comes with three factory ten round magazines. Factory box, manual, etc. These are no longer made because Sig priced themselves out of the market. Special forces teams liked these pistols because they are built like a tank and just continue to function through about any circumstances. Here is a new old stock one that sold last month on Gunbroker: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/922470257
Do not attempt to buy this if it is not legal for you to own. I don't want to ship to California, New York or other places that make it difficult to receive a pistol.
I do not hold an FFL. If your dealer requires the gun to come from another dealer add $25.
Shipping will be a flat $25 to the lower 48.
I have more pictures I can email to you. Request them from [email protected]
I have this listed on a local website in Indiana.
Thanks for looking.

I assume this is one of those situations where if I have to ask the price, I can’t afford it. 😃

Yep, it was in the heading. $950.
It will become a family heirloom so you can amortize it over a generation or two!!
Thanks for the note.

It's in the title...$950.

I’m such a moron.
Sorry.

Hey Bill, I have done the same thing many times. I'm happy you looked at it!!

I have this same gun. I’m a complete novice w/ handguns and an admittedly poor shot. When I took my CHL class .45 ammo was more available than the other options I own. I used about 30 rounds to practice with ahead of the class date. During the shooting portion of the exam we had 50 shots to score enough points on a standard silhouette target. After 35 rounds the instructor told me I could stop shooting. My target had a ragged hole the size of a tennis ball and a few more individual holes just outside the cluster. The 227 did that with a schlub like me at the trigger and < 100 rds experience w/ it so a pistol shooter will be deadly w/ this gun. It is a hefty piece that dampens recoil too. GLWYS - someone is getting a gem!

You know you are doing something when you point this baby down range. It does inspire confidence. When the chips are down you want something as dependable as a hammer.

Sunday Morning Bump

What a great gun. If i didn't have a total dedication to my Sig 220 Elite, I'd be on this. You have excellent taste sir. The Sig has your back right out of the box. GLWS!

I've never heard of "Special Forces" adopting the Sig P227. Any confirmation of this you could point one to? The Navy adopted the MK25/P226, and there were groups with the M11--both 9mm. Special Forces went from 1911s to Glocks, with some personal choices in there as far as I know. I'd love to hear more about this if you have a link.

Yep, Bud of mine has one of these with iirc 14 or 15 round mags, that's a chit-ton of 45 ACP [loaded to 45 Super levels] firepower, it's the big brother to my P226 tacops 357 Sig.

My only reference is various things I've read on the net over the years about Seals, etc. having a liking for the Sig line. As I recall, it was more of a personal thing than formal adaptation. It is kind of like some local police agencies that will furnish side arms but an individual can carry something different, as long as it is approved.
Last bump for this one.

It was not unusual for individual SF units to arrange with Sig to make a group run of pistols with the SF insignia on them. I was given one by a 22 yr SF vet (1st group) and then ended up with his as well. Both are in 45 ACP. The model numbers of mine is 220R-45-SF.

I had seen the P220s, especially in the early 2000s for the Navy (not Special Forces, though), but never a P227...The P227 is a cool gun, and far too short lived. I though with the title maybe I had missed some big contract they had for P227s, which would have made the story of the P227 that much more interesting! A good friend was a 17-year medical retiree and he had mentioned Beretta, Glock, and 1911s as being what he saw most often, with most carrying a G19. My business partner's brother is current SF and he gets the option of a G19 or a G19, but as you say, lots of unit to unit variations! Some folks even have taken personally-owned sidearms, which is a no-no for the average grunt, but tier 1 and tier 2 guys sometimes can.

sorry for the Hijack!

Yes, certain Sigs have a mystique about them. You know you have hold of something solid when you shoot this one.

Pistol moved over to Gunbroker. We'll see how it goes there.
Thanks for the interesting comments and observations. It's always fun to learn new things.
